Physical Exam Permit (Must be signed by a doctor for all students participating in a sport)

A student may not participate in interscholastic athletics (practice or competition) until the school has a W.I.A.A. Examination or Alternate Year Permit Card that attests to the student’s physical fitness (as determined by a licensed physician). All Freshmen and Juniors MUST have a physical exam before participating in a sport at WAUNAKEE HIGH SCHOOL. Any Sophomore or Senior without a physical card on file will also need a physical. If a W.I.A.A. physical card is on file from their previous year (Freshmen or Junior), the W.I.A.A. Parent Permission Card needs to be filled out and signed by a parent or guardian.

A physical examination taken April 1 and thereafter is valid for the following two school years; a physical examination taken before April 1 is only valid for the remainder of that school year and the following school year.

a. The student may get a W.I.A.A. Physical Examination Permit card for a coach or the activity director’s office, or at the Waunakee medical clinics.

b. Complete the physical exam and return the card to the activity director’s office with all of the information properly filled in and signed by your parent or guardian.

Co-Curricular Handbook (Must be signed by all parents/students participating in a Co-Curricular)
The co-curricular handbook and consent for treatment forms MUST be reviewed and turned in (once per school year) for anyone participating in athletics. You may return them to your coach or directly to the HS Athletic Department.

Concussion Law  (Must be signed by athlete/parents playing sports)

The Wisconsin DPI has published the Sideline to Safety (concussion law) guidelines for youth athletic organizations.  With the publication of the guidelines, the law is now implemented.
 
Wisconsin Concussion Law Act 172 - Statute 118.293

Summary
The law requires all youth athletic organizations to educate coaches, athletes and parents on the risks of concussions and head injuries and prohibits participation in a youth activity until the athlete and parent or guardian has returned a signed agreement sheet indicating they have reviewed the concussion and head injury informational materials. The law requires immediate removal of an individual from a youth athletic activity if symptoms indicate a possible concussion has been sustained. A person who has been removed from a youth athletic activity because of a determined or suspected concussion or head injury, may not participate again until he or she is evaluated by a health care provider and receives written clearance from the health care provider to return to the activity.
 
“At the beginning of a season for a youth athletic activity, the person operating the youth athletic activity shall distribute a concussion and head injury information sheet to each person who will be coaching that youth athletic activity and to each person who wishes to participate in that youth athletic activity. No person may participate in a youth athletic activity unless the person returns the information sheet signed by the person and, if he or she is under the age of 19, by his or her parent or guardian.”

Note:  The law was amended in 2013 and the concussion information and acknowledgement must only be distributed and collected once per school year.  Effective:  December 15, 2013

All Student Athletes MUST COMPLETE 1 Concussion Parent/Athlete Agreement Signature Form for each School Year.
