PLEASE READ ALL INFORMATION CAREFULLY

A permission form must be completed and returned for each sport played.

Pursuant to N.J.S.A. 18A:40-41.7.c, all students in grades 6-12 shall have a medical exam conducted within 365 days prior to the first practice session of any interscholastic or intramural sport. The exam must be completed on the state approved “Annual Athletic Pre-Participation Physical Examination Form.” Part A is to be completed by the parents/guardians and brought with you to the physical exam.

ALL AREAS ON PART B MUST BE COMPLETED BY YOUR HEALTHCARE PROVIDER. DO NOT LEAVE YOUR HEALTH CARE PROVIDER’S OFFICE WITHOUT MAKING SURE THAT THE VISION AND ALL VITAL SIGN AREAS HAVE BEEN COMPLETED. THIS IS A STATE REQUIREMENT.

Physical forms must be submitted to the nurse by the deadline and then reviewed and approved by the school physician PRIOR to sports participation.

If your child’s physical examination was completed more than 90 days but less than 365 days prior to the first practice, a new physical exam is not necessary, but the NJ Health History Update Questionnaire must be completed and submitted to the nurse.

ALL PARENTS AND STUDENTS MUST SIGN

IN ADDITION AND AS APPLICABLE
