Beginning with the school year 2021-22 all students are required to submit an annual Preparticipation Physical Evaluation form to Magnus. Please use the form from Magnus or print it from this link Preparticipation Physical Evaluation Form . At any time, there must be an updated exam available for your child in Magnus. An exam is valid for 365 days.

Before the medical examination, the form should be printed out from Magnus (or from above link) with the History portion filled out and signed by the parent. This page should be reviewed by the doctor as a part of the examination.

If it at any point turns out to be a problem for the student/family/guardians to update the physical exam as required, Stuart will provide an option for an exam to be performed. The cost for the exam will be billed to the student’s Stuart account in full amount.

The parents/guardians are welcome to be present during the exam.
