Sequoyah High School PHYSICALS -
Tuesday, May 4, 2021
Sequoyah High School will provide free physicals for the 2021-2022 school year to all current SHS students and all prospective students who have turned in an application, Tuesday, May 4, after school. We are still working on some of the details including where students will check in. Updates will be posted on our website (sequoyahschools.org), Facebook (@SequoyahSchools), and Twitter (@SeqActivities). This will be the only physical arranged by SHS. Physicals done before May 1 can only be used through June 30. After that, students must have a new physical completed May 1, 2021, or later to participate in any sports and band.
Physical forms are available on the athletics page of our website (sequoyahschools.org, athletics page, physical section - https://www.sequoyahschools.org/vnews/display.v/ART/5d66c5934475b) The forms are meant to be printed front and back. Hard copies of the form are also available at the front desk.
The medical history portion of the OSSAA physical form (at the link above) must be completely filled out and the parent/guardian and the student must sign it before the student will be permitted to see the doctor for the physical. Masks will be required for all in attendance.
To help with distancing, we will have students report in 3 groups, each group at a different time, and only the student will be permitted beyond the check in location. Each group will be seen in 2 stages. First, students will have vitals checked by nurses. Then they will see a doctor. We normally finish with all physicals by 7:00.
Group 1 4:00 Current SHS Freshmen and Sophomores
We will begin sending current 9th and 10th graders to nurses at approximately 4:00. Those who are attending in person that day may stay at school while waiting for physicals to begin. We will begin sending students to doctors at approximately 5:15.
Group 2 5:30 Current SHS Juniors check in beginning at 5:30.
Group 3 6:00 New applicants for 2021-2022 (current 8th graders and new upperclassmen applicants) check in beginning at 6:00.
