Summer Physicals
April 18, 2016
Dear Parents/Guardians:
Physical exams for sports will be done at West Morris Central High School on Wednesday, June 29th. If your child is unable to be present on this date, he/she may have the physical done at Mendham High School on Thursday, June 30th. The schedule is listed below for WMC. If a WMC student is having a physical done at Mendham they must notify the WMC School Nurse to insure that their health records are at Mendham for the doctor. A physical exam is required each school year for sports participation and summer weight room clearance.
No one will be allowed to weight train without a new physical submitted to the nurse by June 30. Late forms will be processed periodically during the summer as the nurse’s hours are limited.
Your own physician may perform the physical, but the sports physical form and medical history must be completed and signed by the physician and stamped with his stamp. The completed form must be returned to the nurses’ office before the student can participate in any practice. Do not give the forms to the coach. The school doctor must review and countersign all forms before a student is cleared to practice.
All forms are due in the nurse's office by August 3rd. Late forms will not be processed until school re-opens in September.
Please note that no student will be examined without the entire medical history portion of the physical form filled out and signed by a parent/guardian prior to the exam. Any student who has had a recent injury or illness must bring a note of clearance. Following completion of the physical at school, the student will be given a written notification of his/her eligibility or ineligibility to participate and the reasons for any exclusion. All entering freshmen and new students must take the online ImPact Test and attach a copy of the Completion Certificate to their submitted forms.
The physical and sports permission forms are available in the nurse’s office, the general office or may be downloaded from the wmchs.org website. These are the only forms which will be accepted for physicals.
