Sports Physicals for 2020-2021 School Year. 

 ATHLETIC SPORTS PHYSICAL POLICIES - UPDATED for 2020!!!

Due to COVID-19 circumstances, it has been determined by NYSED that the following adjustments will be in place for student participation for the FALL 2020-2021 season ONLY.  

In past years it was required that sports physicals have an expiration date that was within 12 months of the start date for a specific sport season.  (EX:  Sports starting Aug. 24th 2020 would have required a physical that was Aug. 25th, 2019 or after).

For the upcoming/pending Fall 2020 season ONLY...any physical for sports or school that has been on file from either the 2018-2019, or 2019-2020 school year will be acceptable for sports participation as long as a comprehensive medical intake is completed by parents/guardians within 30 days to the start of participation.  This intake is already a part of our online FAMILY ID registration process and will continue.  

FAMILY ID registrations for Fall Sports will open as follows...

• HS (Varsity & JV) sports - registration opens July 24th for the August 24th start date.
• MS Sports - registration opens Aug. 8th for the Sept. 8th start date.

Beginning with the Winter Season the regular guidelines will be in place with physicals ONLY accepted with exam dates as follows, in addition to the medical intake on FAMILY ID.
