Important information regarding sports physicals. Missouri, in conjunction with MSHSAA, has changed the procedures for documenting, filing, and managing sports physicals due to HIPAA concerns. There are new forms that must be used with specific instructions on the top of each form that must be completed to be valid. The previous versions will no longer be accepted. However, since physicals are valid for two years, your students 2022 physical will remain valid until 2024 with no action required except the annual MSHSAA preparticipation requirement. From this point forward only the last page (5th page) of the new forms will be returned to school and kept on file. The remaining forms will be filed at your doctor's office. Use the link for the new forms, school website, or pick one up at the front office.
