DISTRICT PHYSICAL SCREENING In the spring of each school year, volunteer members of the medical community in conjunction with District 51 may provide free physical screenings to all district student/athletes entering grades 9-12. Please check with the school’s athletic office regarding this date and time. Forms used for the physical examination are available at the respective schools, the district athletic office and the district website (under parentforms). These forms must be signed by a parent/guardian and presented to the physician on the day of the examination. The exam is valid for one calendar year. STUDENT INSURANCE Any student participating in interscholastic sports will be required to carry the accident insurance coverage offered at the school or provide evidence that adequate insurance coverage is carried by his/her parent/guardian. District 51 DOES NOT carry accident insurance coverage to protect student/athletes against injuries occurring in practice or games. The district DOES OFFER the opportunity for parents to purchase voluntary, low cost insurance protection for students. This plan is available at your high school’s athletic office or at the Insurance/Risk Management office at 2115 Grand Avenue (254-5133). Details of the insurance coverage are provided on the descriptive folder and application forms distributed to student/athletes each year as part of their clearance packet before they can participate. Additional questions regarding coverage and requests for assistance in filing claims should be directed to the insurance agent referenced on the application envelope. IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE PARENT/GUARDIAN TO MAINTAIN ADEQUATE INSURANCE. TRAINERS In partnership with St. Mary’s Hospital, District 51 has two athletic trainers that are shared for the four high schools. Each athletic trainer will work out an availability schedule for each sports season with the building athletic directors. Please understand that a trainer will NOT be available for each contest. A tentative schedule for the athletic trainer will be posted at the school’s athletic training room. 12
