Is your student interested in playing sports at school? Research shows that participation in school sports increases academic performance and enhances self esteem. Here is one of many articles that highlights the benefits of high school sports:

To participate, your student must have clearance from a California licensed doctor in the last calendar year. Each sports physical is valid for one year. For example, if your student gets a sports physical on July 31, 2015 it is valid until July 30, 2016.
Our school based community clinic, San Ysidro Health Center, offers sports physicals on a first come, first served basis. If you have private medical insurance, please use it to get your student's sports physical completed. The school based sports physicals are really meant for families who don't have medical insurance and who can't afford the $25-$40 that some places charge for a sports physical.
In order to be seen by one of the doctors here, your permission is needed. Consent forms are available in the Health Office, room 201, and online:
Be well,
Nurse Margaret
