GUILDERLAND — Guilderland High School students interested in playing a winter sport should pick up a sign-up packet from the nurses’ office and return the completed packet to the nurses’ office as soon as possible but no later than Friday, Oct. 30.

Winter sports include boys’ and girls’ basketball, boys’ swimming, bowling, ice hockey, cross-country skiing, gymnastics, wrestling, cheerleading, and indoor track.

The sport packet includes three forms: the School and Sport Physical Form, the Athletic Form, and the Health History Form — all of which are also available online at www.guilderlandschools.org.

Students will not be able to try out or participate in practices without a sports packet cleared by the nurses’ office.

Physicals will be held in the high school nurses’ office on Tuesday, Oct. 27, from 4 to 5:45 p.m.

Students are encouraged to sign-up for their physicals in advance. Appointments may take up to one hour.

Physicals are also open to all students for working papers, tenth-grade physicals, and new student physicals. If applicable, please bring glasses or wear contacts for the eye exam.

Students may have physicals done by their own doctor, but the physical must be completed on the school’s physical form and reviewed by the school nurse before a student can sign up for a sport or attend practice. 

For more information, go online to www.guilderlandschools.org or call the Guilderland High School nurses’ office at 861-8591, ext. 3030 and ext. 3031.
