The cumbersome process of collecting physicals and parent permission forms in our office will no longer be necessary.

Physical Packet
If a student intends to play sports for the Washington Blue Jays, they must have a valid physical uploaded to rSchool prior to participation.
WHAT DEEMS A PHYSICAL TO BE VALID?: A PPE (physical form) that releases a student to participate in sports/activities will now be considered valid for two years (730 days). We cannot control when every student’s physician will want to see them again for a general physical, which will be between the student’s physician and their parent; however, in order to be permitted to play sports for a school team, the new MSHSAA By-Law allows a physical to be valid for a two year period (730 days). A current physical that a student may have on file with the school may be valid for next school year under the new by-law.
Example: A physical that was received on August 2, 2021 is now valid through August 1, 2023.
NOTE: In the event that a student has endured a medical condition resulting in a significant change with their medical history the school is advised to request a new PPE (physical form), or at a minimum, if/when the school knows that a student has experienced a medical condition or an injury, the school shall secure a written medical release from a physician for the student to be released to return to or to continue participation. It is recommended that the written medical release from the student’s attending physician be retained on file with the student’s most recent physical form. Only the MSHSAA PPE Form, the “physical examination”, is valid for a two year period (730 days). The MSHSAA Preparticipation Documentation such as Medical History, Parent Permission-Insurance Verification, Student Agreement, Concussion Education Materials-Parent/Student Signature, Emergency Contact Information are still annual requirements that the school must secure from the students/parents annually.
As of Aug. 2012, the Missouri State High School Activities Association (MSHSAA) has mandated that a physical is valid only if completed on a MSHSAA physical form. MSHSAA physical forms are available for pickup in the WHS Athletic Office or can be downloaded by clicking here.
Insurance Requirements
All prospective student-athletes must have basic accident (medical) insurance coverage to participate in athletics. Insurance information is to be provided on the MSHSAA physical form.
