Athletic Physicals

Athletic Physicals shall be valid for a period of 12 months through the last day of the month in which the physical was conducted. Before participation in each sports season, school nursing personnel must review the health history and/or have the parent complete an interval health history in order for the 12-month physical to be valid. The purpose of the interview/interval health history is to ensure that any health problems occurring since the last physical are identified and considered.
