Dear Parents/Guardians,
The following is important information regarding New Jersey and HCA requirements for sports physicals.

1. All students participating in HCA sponsored sports must have an updated physical on file annually.
2. Grades PK3 through 5 may use the Universal health Form.
3. Grades 6 through 8 must use the Pre-Participating Physical Evaluation form. This must be completed in compliance with the New Jersey requirements i the Scholastic Student-Athlete Safety Act information fact sheet.
4. The physicals must be completed within 365 days prior to the first official practice in an athletic season.

Please read the Scholastic Student-Athlete Safety Act information fact sheet carefully. Number 6 is not applicable. The student's physician will sign off on the appropriate forms.

In the interest of student safety there can be no exceptions to this requirement.

Thank you in advance for your cooperation
