Physical Forms
We know there have been a lot of questions about physicals for the upcoming school year, and we finally have answers!
For this year only, any students who have an existing physical on record from last year, and do not have any changes in their health, are waived from getting a new physical for the 2020-2021 school year. Students who did not receive a physical last year, or students who have any flags on their questionnaire this year, are required to get a physical before beginning participation.
1) ALL students must complete the first-page Pre-Participation evaluation (PDF Attached Below)
2) If your student has no concerns and they have an existing physical from the 19-20 school year, they are cleared to participate.
3) If your student has any health concerns, they must proceed to acquire a physical (second page of PDF filled out by a physician).
4) If your student has no existing physical from last year (including all incoming freshmen), they must proceed to get a physical (second page of PDF filled out by a physician).
Please email all completed forms to Mrs. Eby at caitlin.hall@gcisd.net
