for varsity teams should make every effort to attend these practices. This is an<br />
important conditioning and learning period. Those athletes who cannot attend<br />

Important change in Emergency Permission form and Physicals<br />
All health forms must be completed and filed with the school nurse no<br />
later than July 13 of the upcoming school year in order for a student to begin<br />
school. A student will not be allowed to participate in preseason sports or to attend<br />
orientation programs if the necessary medical forms are not completed and on fi le.<br />
Forms are mailed at the end of the preceding school year, are posted on the portal,<br />
and may be picked up in the front office of the Burleigh Davidson Building.<br />
A complete physical examination, including vision and hearing testing, is<br />
required for all new students entering <strong>Berwick</strong> <strong>Academy</strong>; and thereafter, updated<br />
every other year. A physical exam is an assessment of your child’s health status.<br />
<strong>Berwick</strong> <strong>Academy</strong> recommends a more recent physical examination be submitted<br />
if there are changes in your child’s health. The Physical Examination Form must be<br />
completed and signed by the medical practitioner; and, the section on immunizations<br />
must be reviewed and completed in order to comply with Maine state law.<br />
The signed and completed Emergency Permission Form is used for students<br />
during school, sports and fi eld trips when immediate medical attention is needed..<br />
The school nurse needs to be updated on medical changes throughout the year.<br />
Medical information pertinent to the student may be confidentially shared with the<br />
applicable teacher(s), staff, and/or athletic coach. Parents are also encouraged to<br />
inform appropriate personnel about important medical information.<br />

The fall sports schedule is now posted on the <strong>Berwick</strong> <strong>Academy</strong> Portal. The<br />
