Also, please make sure your student’s sports physical is current and/or not about to expire (they are good for 2 years). Schedule your doctor appointment now so your student is ready to participate in Fall Sports. You cannot participate without an approved sports physical on file. Sports physicals can be uploaded through the Parent/Guardian Final Forms account.

Parents/Families:

A reminder from Nurse Shelly: 

  • Parents/Guardians if your student has medication at school, please make arrangements to collect it on the last day of school. Due to the lack of temperature control in the school, any medications left over the summer will be destroyed.
  • A new Medication Authorization form is required each school year. Your healthcare provider will appreciate filling out a new one for your student now instead of right before school starts! Forms can be found on the SPS Health Services webpage. Have a Wonderful Summer! Confidential Nurse Fax: 206-743-3152
