Athletic Physicals     
From The Activities Office
The Byron Community School District will be providing an opportunity for students in the Middle School (grades 6, 7 and 8) and High School (grades 10, 11 and 12) to obtain their athletic physical.  An athletic physical is required to participate in competitive sports, cheerleading and dance team.  The date for the physical is Tuesday August 3, 2010.

 We are please to coordinate this program with the current provider of our athletic training services, Ogle County Physical Therapy.  They will have 2  female and two male doctors in attendance at the physicals, with additional adequate staffing to keep the process moving quickly.  They will provide many services young people beyond the $35 fee that is charged for the physical exam.  If payment is by check, Please make the check payable to OGLE COUNTY PHYSICAL THERAPY.  The participating athlete should wear loose fitting, comfortable clothing.

 Most medical insurance and HMO's will probably not cover this physical, but it is recommended that you check with your provider prior to the date.

 Please be aware that this exam CANNOT be used in place of the 9th grade exam required by the State of Illinois.

New Physical Form      
From The Activities Office

Effective January 1, 2010, Public Act 096-0128 became law which requires that the pre-participation physical form shall include a question asking whether a student has a family history of cancer and may require a testicular examination as part of a physical required for a male student's participation in interscholastic activities. The pre-participation physical form or card that has been used for many years does not include the question about a family history of cancer and therefore, that form is now obsolete and should no longer be used. Also, there is a section on the form where the students and parents give consent to random testing for steroids and performance-enhancing substances. This pertains only to high school students and is required by the IHSA for participation.

You may access the new physical form by clicking the link below or navigating to the forms page of this website.
