All incoming 7th graders are required by the state of Nebraska to have a physical completed after March 1, 2019. This physical can also be used for students interested in participating in athletics for the 2019-2020 school year. Forms will be going home soon for current 6th grade students.
Students in the 8th grade for the 2019-2020 school year wanting to participate in athletics will need to have a current physical completed AFTER May 1, 2019. If you have any questions, please contact me.
