All 10th Graders are required to have a physical this school year. The completed paperwork must be given to the nurse by May 1, 2018. Students will not be allowed to enter school in the fall until the physical is received by the school nurse. If students are member of the school based health clinic (MOMS Clinic), appointments can be made there for a physical.
