Students in grades 6, 7 and 8 have the opportunity to participate in fall, winter and spring sports. The state of New Jersey requires all student-athletes to receive an annual pre-participation physical exam and record the results of the exam and health history on specific forms. PRINT and carefully COMPLETE the forms below.  Submit physical and history forms to the school nurse prior to the due date for each season. The forms must be reviewed by the school physician in order for a student to be approved for sports participation. 

Athletes with medical conditions such as asthma and anaphylactic allergies must submit annual medication forms indicating they may carry and self-administer their emergency medications (inhalers and epinephrine auto-injectors). Coaches volunteer to be trained as epinephrine delegates and will administer epinephrine if anaphylaxis occurs. 

Original forms are preferred and should be delivered to the Health Office or Front Office in an envelope marked “School Nurse/Sports.” Forms may also be emailed to the school nurse at dnazzaro@bedminsterschool.org
