FDCSD 7-12 Grade Athletic Physicals March 2

Athletic physicals for current 7-12 grade students will be offered on Thursday, March 2, from 5:15–6:30 p.m. at Fort Dodge Senior High.  The cost is $15.00.  All current 7-12 grade Dodger student athletes are encouraged to attend. 

A sports physical needs to be current and on file in the nurse's office prior to the first day of practice of the athlete’s sport season. Physicals must stay current through the end of the athlete’s sport season.  This includes for seniors who participate in summer sports.  Physicals are good for one year from the date they are completed.

Students can have their pre-workup (height, weight, heart rate and blood pressure) done during the school day February 28 through March 2.  Anyone unable to have the pre-workup done on these days can have it done by school nurses the night of physicals.

The health history must be completed and the form signed by a parent/guardian, and brought with the athlete on March 2 in order for the physical to be completed.  Payment of $15 by cash or check is also required at the time of the physical.

Current 6 grade students interested in participating in athletics next year will need to have a physical completed by their primary care provider prior to starting practice for their sport.  

Webster County Public Health will be offering an immunization clinic during physicals. Meningitis, HPV, Tdap and Meningitis B vaccines will be available for those who need them. A health history and consent form must be completed by a parent/guardian for those wanting an immunization.

Parents/guardians who need additional information or have questions may contact BreAnn Drees at bdrees@fdschools.org or 515.574.5825.
