JLCA/JJID, Physical Examinations of Students
(And Student Physicals for School Athletics)
Parents shall be encouraged to have their children physically examined prior to entering school and again prior to the fourth, seventh and tenth grades. A dental examination also shall be strongly suggested.
Any student engaging in any competitive athletics shall be given a physical examination prior to his/her participation in any form of exercises leading to such athletics.
Further, in any case where physical exercise is rather strenuous (such as physical education classes) and a student has any physical impairment whatsoever, the student may be required to present authorization for such participation from a physician.
Students may be excused from physical education activities and from curricular requirements relating to physical education activities upon the statement from a physician that such participation would be injurious to the student’s health.
Teachers shall be alert to the general well-being of students and shall refer any questionable situations to the school nurse.
