All Students must have a current physical on record in the health office in order to tryout or participate in sports. If the current physical is due to expire during the season of the sport, a new physical must be obtained and recorded in the health office. Sport physicals are valid for one calendar year and must be submitted to the health office, not to the coach or the athletic office. Physicals are given in school by the district's Family Nurse Practitioner at no cost. Please schedule an appointment with the health office.
