PHYSICALS
-
All students competing in the interscholastic athletic program of the junior high schools are required to show evidence of a physical examination within the past three years. All six and/or seventh graders desiring to participate in interscholastic athletics must have a physical examination unless evidence is shown of an examination within the past three years. A physical examination is good for a three-year period providing the athlete provides a signed parent/guardian permit form each school year.
-
A complete health examination by the family physician in her/his office with the findings, recommendations, Competitive Athletics form completed and his/her signature recorded on Health Form H36 is recommended and meets the requirement for the athletic examination. A supply of Form H36 is furnished to all athletic directors by the school nurses.
-
If, in extreme cases, it is impossible for a student athlete to be examined by his/her family physician or at a clinic, the District Health Service Office will arrange for an examination. Health clinics are available at all high schools with the exception of Highland Park.
-
The coach of the particular sport involved and the athletic director shall be responsible to see that all members of the squad meet physical examination requirements.
-
The coach will meet with the athletes to distribute the necessary forms. The athletes should be instructed to return all forms to the coach.
-
The list of athletes should be given to the athletic director the day following the meeting. The completed forms should be given to the athletic director as soon as received.
-
No equipment or supplies shall be issued to a player until a physical examination has been passed.
-
Students shall not be allowed to practice until a physical examination has been passed.
-
The original examination form (Health Form H36), which has the doctor’s signature, becomes a part of the student’s permanent health record and is kept on file in the nurse’s office.
