A student borrowing athletic equipment must return or pay for said equipment. Failure to do so will prohibit future
participation in sports.
A student must attend school the day of an athletic event to participate on that day. If an event is scheduled
for a Saturday, the student must be in school the preceding Friday.
Unexcused absence from school or from any class period may result in suspension from athletic competition.
Insubordination will not be tolerated. Disciplinary action, with respect to athletic participation, will be taken at the
discretion of the Athletic Director in consultation with class deans and the administration.
MEDICAL
In compliance with the guidelines of the New Jersey Department of Education (N.J.A.C.6A16-2.2) and to ensure
the safety of all athletic team participants, all athletes must have a current physical examination in order to
participate in any organized sports program with the school district. The State requires that all candidates
complete the Pre-Participation Physical Evaluation (PPE) Form. This is the ONLY acceptable form for athletic
medical clearance. Further, student athletes and their parents/ guardians are required to review the following
documents and affix their signature on the Sign Off sheet acknowledging receipt:
Random Testing for Banned Substances form,
Concussion Policy Acknowledgment form, and
Sudden Cardiac Death in Young Athletes information sheet.
Parents/guardians are also required to complete and submit the Teaneck High School Registration Card. All of
these forms must be completed in their entirety and executed in order for the student athlete to be medically
cleared. In addition and per NJDOE guidelines, our school physician is required to review and sign off on ALL
physical examination forms before medical clearance is confirmed.
Physical examinations are available through the school or can be performed by your own personal physician.
Physicals are offered through the high school most Fridays throughout the school year and five dates in the
summer. Physical examinations will be valid for 365 days.
Students who participate in more than one sport within a school year will be required to complete a Health History
Update Questionnaire, in addition to the Athletic Registration card, for each additional sport in which they
compete.
In order to ensure clearance before the first day of team practice, students are required to hand in their
completed forms at least thirty (30) days prior to the first practice date. Any forms dropped off after that
date will be cleared in the order they are received. No physical forms will be accepted for clearance thirty days
after the official start of the season.
