Parent-Student Guide to Medical Clearance
The following forms must be submitted to the school nurse by Tuesday,
February 16, 2010 in order for the student to be medically cleared to
participate in the first practice session scheduled to begin on or about
March 5, 2010.
1. Once a year, every sport candidate must submit documentation of a
health history and sport physical examination performed by his or her private
health care provider and recorded on the NJ Department of Education Sport
Physical Form (Part A & B- 4 double sided white pages). All areas on the
history and physical exam forms must be completed. This includes a value for
height, weight, blood pressure, pulse and vision. Incomplete forms will not
be processed and will be returned to you for completion by your private
physician. An exam done on or after March 6, 2009 is valid for the spring
season. If the health history and physical exam forms are already on file in
the nurse’s office from a previous sport season you do not need to submit
another copy.
2. Each season, every sport candidate whose medical examination was
completed more than 60 days prior to the first practice session must complete
a 60 Day Health History Update form (yellow page). This form must be
completed and signed by the parent/guardian.
3. Each season, every sport candidate must complete a Consent to Random
Testing form (yellow page). This form must be completed and signed by both
the student and parent/guardian and submitted, with the appropriate medical
forms, to the nurse. Failure to sign the consent form renders the student
athlete ineligible for athletic participation. Additional information
regarding random testing can be obtained at www.njsiaa.org
4. Each season, every sport candidate must complete a Sport
Participation Card. This form must be signed on both sides by the student and
the parent/guardian.
1. Forms submitted after February 16th will continue to be processed,
however the student will not be allowed to practice or participate until all
the forms are reviewed by the nursing staff. This process may take up to 5
days depending on the availability of the school physician to review the
physical exam.
2. Once the student is medically cleared for participation, the
participation card is sent to the Athletic Office for further processing.
Any inquiries as to the student’s eligibility from this point on should be
directed to the Athletic Office. 889-8600 ex. 414.
3. All forms are available at both the Athletic Office and Nurse’s
office.
4. If you need to verify the date of you child’s last recorded physical,
or if you have any questions regarding obtaining medical clearance, you may
contact the nursing staff during regular school hours at 889-8600 ex. 508.
5. It is recommended that you keep a copy of your child’s physical exam
for your personal files.
