DISTRICT HEALTH INFORMATION

• PHYSICALS - Regular Physical Check-Ups are important - See HEALTHY KIDS ARE BETTER LEARNERS web link below! http://www.whatcomalliance.org/partner_articles/documents/0408%20Sports%20Physicals.pdf

• HEALTH COVERAGE OPTIONS FOR ATHLETES - See web links below that will help families understand their health coverage options for student athletes.

All students participating in athletics are required to have a physical exam and health insurance.  There are three options for health insurance:

1. Insurance provided by the student's family (through an employer, a private plan, etc.)

2. Free/reduced cost coverage (call 788-6594 for more information)

3. Student Insurance policy purchased through the District. To purchase student insurance, pick up a brochure in activities/athletics office.

If you don't have a regular doctor, here is a list of Whatcom County doctors and walk-in clinics where you can schedule a sports physical.
