COMMACK HIGH SCHOOL
June 2007
Dear Parent/Guardian:
Medical examinations for Interscholastic Sports for the 2007-2008 school year will be given at Commack High School.
The examination will be given by our SCHOOL PHYSICIAN. The physical examination must be completed and passed before a student may participate in try-outs for any of our sports teams. This includes students wishing to serve as team managers. It will be the responsibility of your son/daughter to get to the examination at the prescribed time.
If your child wears contact lenses, braces, has a retainer or a dental cap, a contact lens-orthodontic appliance permission note signed by a parent must be submitted at the time of the examination by the school doctor.
Please complete the attached forms and have your son/daughter return them when he/she reports for the medical examination. Additional sports physical packets are available in the Nurse's Office.
#1 - Parent Consent Form - Signed
#2 - Medical History Form which includes the contact lens orthodontic appliance permission slip - Signed
Any recommendation that your family doctor may have regarding your youngster's health and ability to participate in sports should be included with the above list of forms returned to the Nurse's Office (contact lens, capped teeth, etc.). The school physician is the final authority regarding a student's fitness for participation in interscholastic athletics.
Individual parents/ youngsters may elect to have their physicals completed by your family doctor. This IS PERMITTED but the physical must be documented on school district forms ONLY. These forms must be filled out completely. Completed documents MUST BE viewed and APPROVED by the schools physician prior to receiving clearance for any tryout. It will be the responsibility of the parent/youngster to ensure these voluntary physicals and documents are completed to the standards of the school physician and district. Completed forms should be submitted for review during the scheduled physical date/ times. Please alert the supervisors as you arrive.
Please refer to the reverse side of this letter for the dates and times your youngster is scheduled for a physical. Times listed as "open" are for boys or girls in the grades listed. Grades listed refer to your youngster's level during the 2007-2008 school year.
REMINDER:
STUDENTS WILL BE UNABLE TO OBTAIN SCHOOL PHYSICALS FOR ATHLETICS UNLESS THEY HAVE COMPLETED ALL REQUIRED IMMUNIZATIONS ACCORDING TO STATE LAW. IF A STUDENT IS UNABLE TO ATTEND ONE OF THE SUMMER PHYSICAL DATES, HE/SHE WILL BE UNABLE TO OBTAIN A PHYSICAL EXAM UNTIL THE WEEK OF SEPTEMBER 10, 2007.
We hope you enjoy a happy and pleasant summer. We look forward to your child's participation in our sports program. Click here for Parent Consent Form and Instructions for Physicals.
