Please read the attached information carefully.

The health examination for qualifying a student's participation in athletics is valid for a period of 12 continuous months - through the last day of the month in which the exam was conducted; and through the entire sports season, even if the exam’s expiration is before the season is completed. All forms need to be uploaded on Family ID. Access form here: NYS Physical Exam Form
