Health Information:
All required medical documentation (excluding physicals) should be updated with every physical or in the event any changes have occurred to the student’s diagnosis. All students are required to submit a physical form signed and dated by a doctor. This will be valid for two years; however, we encourage physicals to be turned in yearly. No physical may hit the 2-year mark during the school year. Therefore, all physicals for the 2024-25 school year must be dated 6/30/24 or newer. Physicals should be provided before the beginning of school.
If you are entering during the school year, please fill them out and return before return to school.
