***REMINDER*** All physicals are due to the appropriate school office PRIOR to your student practicing. The first day of practice is officially 2 weeks from today. Please make plans to get a sports physical for all 7-12 athletes participating in school athletics if you have not already. Once completed, they can be turned into the secretaries at either office/school building.

Included is the sports physical form directly from the home page of our district website. Please cross reference this form with the forms you receive at the health clinic you have your physical completed at, as there are likely a few additional forms the health clinic will not provide.

Thank you!
