Finding Answers and Addressing Concerns

If you have a question, comment, or concern about your
child’s education, it should be brought to your child’s teacher’s
attention. If your concerns are not satis¿ed, contact the
principal of your child’s school. If this does not produce a
satisfactory solution, contact Central Administration. If you are
unable to agree, you may request that the matter be brought to
the Board of Education’s attention.

Please visit www.longwood.k12.ny.us for the most up-to-date calendar information.June 2023 Mandated Sports Physicals
New York State law requires all students participating in athletics to receive a sports
physical. Sports physical information and forms can be picked up at the health
o൶ce or by visiting the district website. The forms must be completed before your
child is able to participate in the interscholastic program. The results of the Sports
Physicals shall be valid for a period of twelve months during the last day of the
month in which the physical was conducted. The ¿nal approval for sports clearance
rests with the school medical o൶cer.
The Health Examination Form is to be completed by your primary health care
provider or by the school medical o൶cer. Make sure that your healthcare provider
signs, stamps and completes the form including any medications, inhalers, etc..
This information must be uploaded onto FamilyID as part of the sports clearance
(registration) process. A student may not participate without the approval of the
school medical o൶cer.
The Health History form is part of the physical and is to be completed by a parent/
guardian in FamilyID. A new Health History form must be completed in FamilyID
thirty (30) days prior to the start of any additional sport season in which the student
would like to participate.
