Parents of Student Athletes,
To participate in Modified, JV, or Varsity athletics, New York State requires a current health examination. The health examination for qualifying a student's participation in athletics is valid for a period of 12 continuous months - through the last day of the month in which the exam was conducted; and through the entire sports season, even if the exam’s expiration is before the season is completed.
On Monday, August 21st, the district will be having a Nurse Practitioner available for Sports Physicals. If you would like to REGISTER your student for a physical, please email the High School Nurse at andrea.mina@doverschools.org or call 845-877-5751. A time to arrive and a permission form will be sent to the provided email address. If you are unable to print the form, you can pick one up at the high school or one can be mailed to the home address on file. Please make that request known when registering. Students must have a completed physical permission form signed by a parent or guardian with them on August 21st, in order for Nurse Practitioner to complete the physical.
Please note that there will be another opportunity to have a physical at school prior the Winter sports season.
Thank you!
