Athletics & Sports Physicals
Whitman Families if your student is new to Whitman or needs an updated sports physical (they are only good for 2 years from the date of the physical). Please make an appointment with your doctor for a sports physical as soon as possible. It is sometimes hard to get a physical in September when Fall sports start at the same time. Please bring this Physical Participation Form with you and have it signed by the physician. This form is good for two years and covers all middle school sports. If you have any questions email Janice Runner at jmrunner@seattleschools.org
