PHYSICALS
FREE physicals will be available at the back to school fair hosted by First Baptist Church on Saturday, August 9 from 8-Noon. Physical forms can be found on our webpage at
in the upper right hand corner for back to school information. Puxico R-8 School requires sports physicals ANNUALLY to help ensure the safety and well being of our athletes.
**You must have a current physical on file before you can play/ practice any sports. Get it in August and your good for the whole year... any sport.
We suggest getting this one even if you just got one in March or April... it saves you money and your not scrambling to get it before softball/baseball season in the spring or missing school.
Please email updated records to Jessica Benson, school nurse, at jbenson@puxico.k12.mo.us
