Fall Physicals Due 8/14

Attention Parents of Rising 7th and 8th Grade Athletes: This is a reminder that Physicals for Fall Sports are due to the Main Office by 8/14/17.  Each athlete is required to have a current physical that is documented on the PIAA's Comprehensive Interscholastic Pre-Participation Physical Evaluation (CIPPE) form prior to trying out for a sport. The form was handed out at the sports' meetings in June and for your convenience, a copy has been attached to this email. It is also available on the PIAA website, but the form there includes extra pages you do not need at this time. Only the first 6 pages need to be turned in, the other 3 pages are irrelevant for Fall sports. Please be sure you have the most current version of the form, which is dated 3/27/2017 and that when your physician completes the form, it is dated after 6/1/2017. A physician is allowed to authorize a previous current physical, but they must put the date they sign the form, not the date of the physical itself if the physical was conducted prior to 6/1/2017. The early due date is designed to allow time to review all paperwork and identify errors or issues that may interfere with your child's ability to tryout for their sport. Forms can be turned in to the Main Office throughout the summer. The Main Office is open Monday - Thursday from 7:30-3:30. We understand some people will not be able to turn the form in by 8/14 due to various reasons. If there is a problem turning the physical in by that date, please email Mrs. Walsh-Shell at kwalsh-shell@ucfsd.net.

ImPACT Testing for Fall

We will be conducting ImPACT Testing for 6th and 8th grade students who are interested in playing sports in 7th and 9th grades. This testing will be conducted during PE starting on June 5th. Your child will receive a permission slip for this testing during PE starting on May 25th. They will receive the slip the first day that they have PE and, if you are interested in your child taking this test, we request the slip be returned the following day during PE (they have PE 2 consecutive days a cycle). Your child will not be allowed to take the test without permission. We will accept the slip until the day of their testing, but for the sake of organization we like to have the slip in advance. If you have any questions regarding the ImPACT test, please contact our Athletic Trainer, Kathy Walsh-Shell, at kwalsh-shell@ucfsd.net

Patton Sports Meeting

There will be an informational meeting for any current 6th or 7th grade student parent interested in learning more about the athletic teams at Patton. Topics will include:  PIAA physical form, concussion protocol, individual team information, how the new school start time will impact after school sports, eligibility requirements, followed by a Q/A session with the Patton Athletic Director, Kevin Crossman. The meeting will be held on May 25th at 6:30 in the Patton Library.
