**IMPORTANT PLEASE READ**
2019-2020 SCHOOL YEAR
ALL SPORTS STUDENTS MUST SUBMIT PAPERWORK TO THE NURSE FOR EACH SEASON (Fall/Winter/Spring)
The Scholastic Student-Athlete Safety Act (SS-ASA) (N.J.S.A. 18A:40-41.7) mandates that sports physicals may ONLY be completed by a licensed physician, advanced practice nurse (APN) or physician assistant (PA) who has completed the Student-Athlete Cardiac Assessment professional development module.
The licensed physician, APN or PA, must sign the certification statement on the Pre-participation Physical form attesting to the completion of the professional development module.
Physical forms will not be accepted without the healthcare provider’s signature in the certification statement section.
The student will not be cleared to participate in their sport unless your healthcare provider completes the Student-Athlete Cardiac Assessment professional development module AND signs the certification statement on Page 4.
It is recommended that you verify that your medical provider has completed this module before scheduling your sports physical appointment.
THE DEADLINE TO TURN IN FORMS FOR SPRING SPORTS IS February 18, 2020.
THE SPRING SPORTS SEASON STARTS ON MARCH 3, 2020
Exams conducted on or after 3/4/19 are acceptable for the SPRING 2020 season.
The Annual Athletic Pre-Participation Physical Examination Forms are required by the New Jersey Department of Education. These forms are required for any middle or high school student in New Jersey who wants to participate in an interscholastic or intramural sports program. Students must have their exam approved by the school doctor before they can participate in any practice or tryouts. Our school doctor is scheduled in advance to review all the sports physicals for the entire district. Forms that are submitted late or incomplete cannot be guaranteed to be approved by the school physician before the season starts. Students who have not received clearance by the school doctor may not participate in any practice or tryout. Please adhere to all deadlines and guidelines to ensure that your child is able to participate.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING SCHOOL ATTENDANCE
(See attachment below for Spanish version)
As you are aware, the State of New Jersey has revised the laws regarding school attendance. In order to be in compliance with these laws, the Freehold Township Schools have created board policy to govern student attendance in Freehold Township. A summary of the policy can be found in the student handbook you received in September.
School board policy requires that the school receive a written note for each school absence with the parent's original signature. This note should state the date and reason for absence. We have created a form which may make it easier for you to fill out and send in the required information. You can complete the form in place of a note and return it the day your child returns to school. Immediately following any future absences, you can always refer to this site to access the form or you may write an absence note to your child's teacher. We appreciate your cooperation with this policy.
