Nut Allergy Notice

Just a brief reminder that for all students attending Newmark this year, we need to be mindful of food allergies.  For some of our students, any exposure to peanuts, tree nuts (walnuts, pecans, etc.), eggs, red dye and dairy products can cause a life-threatening allergic reaction that requires medical treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions: Sports Physicals

Updated for 2024-25: Parents need to only return the Medical Eligibility School Form.  The Sports Physical Form will be maintained by the healthcare provider completing the physical exam.  

  
Do I need a new physical for every sport?

No, physicals are good for 1 year from the date they are completed and signed by the doctor. Health History Update forms are also good for 1 year from the date they are completed and signed  by the parent/guardian.

If my student played a fall sport, do I need to fill anything out for Winter or Spring?

As long as your child's physical was within 365 days of the start of his/her sport, you will only need to complete the Heath History Update form.

Who fills out the forms?

Parents need to only return the Medical Eligibility School Form.  The Sports Physical Form will be maintained by the healthcare provider completing the physical exam.    .

What happens if the doctor forgets to sign or fill out the form completely?

Your forms will be returned to you for completion. We cannot accept incomplete forms. Forms can be mailed or emailed to ecarroll@newmarkeducation.com
