Reminder from the School Nurse
Students trying out for all sports and all seventh and tenth grade students are mandated by New York State to receive a physical. If your child will be receiving a sports physical with the school nurse that will count toward this requirement. School physicals will be given on July 29th, August 19th, and August 26th from 8:00am until 11:00am.
If you chose not to have a school physical, please schedule an appointment with your primary care doctor as soon as possible. Also, forms for sports physicals are available at the front offices all summer if a student is going to their own doctor.
