Attention all 8th grade students planning to play a sport next year at the high school. Sports registration forms minus the pre-participation physical evaluation (PPE) form are due to the CMS Health Office by Friday, June 5, 2015. It is then your responsibility to deliver the PPE completed by your doctor to GL and place it in the mailbox of the school nurse.

The PPE, signed by a doctor, expires after one year. If a physical presently on file at CMS expires after September 1, then a new PPE is not required. However, a new set of all other sports registration forms including the health history is. Your student athlete will be required to submit an updated physical within two weeks of the expiration date of the physical on file to ensure continuance of participation.

If you are already signed up for an in –school physical at CMS, your complete forms will be forwarded to GL before the end of this school year. There are no additional in-school physical appointments available at CMS.

All 6th and 7th grade students interested in playing a sport next FALL must submit a complete physical packet in before the first day of try outs in September. For more information see Mrs. Prendeville.
