Summer is the perfect time to get your student's well child exam! Not only can this annual help your child feel more comfortable in the doctor's office, you can also request a Sport Physical at the same time! Athletes in grades 7-12 need a current physical on file to compete on our teams, and since physicals expire after three years, we recommend getting a Sport Physical for students going into grades 7 and 10. Please drop off physicals in the HS Office or email copies to Holly or Mr. Ruoff at: hberscheit@isd740.org or jruoff@isd740.org
