DATE: February 21, 2005

TO: PARENTS OF JUNIOR HIGH AND SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS

FROM: SCHOOL HEALTH SERVICES, DISTRICT 203

Naperville Community Unit School District 203 and Edward Hospital will again co-sponsor the Athletic Physical Assessment Program.

The program is designed to provide a thorough assessment of potential athletes who are now in grades 6, 7,9,10, and 11. Students in those grades are required to submit a physical examination report prior to trying out for a sport. Students trying out for high school poms, cheerleading, and flags also need a sports physical. At junior high, poms and cheerleading need the exam. A copy of the report will be given to the students as they complete the exam. THIS ASSESSMENT DOES NOT MEET THE 9TH GRADE ENTRANCE REQUIREMENT FOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS.

The dates/time of the sports physicals are (allow one hour for physical):

Tuesday, May 31, 2005 5:30 p.m.-8:00 p.m. Thursday, June 2, 2005 5:30 p.m.-8:00 p.m.

Wednesday, June 1, 2005 5:30 p.m.-8:00 p.m. Saturday, June 4, 2005 8:30 a.m.-11:00 a.m.

Students who would like to participate should call Edward Hospital class registration (630) 369-6363 to schedule an appointment for the physical. There will be no registration at school. The student will be given an appointment date, time, and you will be mailed an assessment form and confirmation letter. The students will not be examined if the health history and parental permission are not completed on the assessment form. No camp forms will be completed. Appointments can be made now and should be made by May 13, 2005.

The physical assessments will be held at the Edward Heart Hospital Specialty Clinic, 801 S. Washington Street, Naperville. Enter through North Entrance of Hospital. Follow signs to Heart Hospital. Parking is available in North Parking Garage.
