Particular concerns
·
ALL STUDENTS:
Students are required to have
a complete physical every year prior to entrance, submitted on the all purpose
form called: Morris Catholic/ New jersey Department of Education Annual
Athletic Pre Participation Physical Examination Form. Copies of this can be
found and downloaded from this site. Pages A 1-3 and B 1-4 and pages 5,8,9 & 10 must be
submitted.
*ATHLETES:
All athletes will use the same physical form. Only physicals submitted
on our form will be accepted. At the beginning of each new sport season a
parent/guardian will submit the Health Update Form, also found on this
site. This basically states that as far as the parent/guardian knows nothing
has changed with regard to the student’s health since his/her last physical, (
if your student was cleared for football and now will play basketball).
* MEDICATION: Specific forms can be downloaded from this website for authorization to administer:
- Prescription medication
- OTC (over the counter) medication
- Physician certification for students self administration inhaler/epipen
- Parent/Guardian consent for students's self administration medication (inhaler/epipen)
- Asthma Action Plan
