Athletic Physicals for 2008-09

The Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association requires that any student participating in an interscholastic sport must have a Physical Examination Card on file in the office of the school prior to practice or participation. A physical exam must be given every two years. Green Physical Examination Cards are included in today’s carrier for the current 4th graders. If your student plans to play volleyball or basketball in the fall, they will need to have a physical exam. We encourage you to plan this for over the summer months. We have also included a Green Physical Examination Card for those students whose cards will need to be renewed.
