Dear Beaver Families,
As fitness and athletic activities have commenced, I am reaching out with information regarding additional requirements for the safe return to sports or fitness activities at Beaver if your child has had a confirmed diagnosis of COVID-19.
Due to the nature of the virus and its potential lasting health effects on the cardiopulmonary system, any student with a prior confirmed diagnosis (positive test) for COVID-19 is required to undergo an assessment with their physician prior to returning to participation in sports or fitness activities. Any ongoing symptoms related to COVID-19 should be further examined, including the presence of chest pain or shortness of breath with exertion, heart palpitations, excessive fatigue, or decreased exercise tolerance.
Written medical clearance is required prior to participation in sports.
This clearance is separate from the physical exam submitted to the health office annually, and is required only of students who have had a confirmed COVID-19 diagnosis and want to continue to participate in fitness activities and sports at school. To date, we have not had any reported positive cases in our student community. In consideration of keeping our information current, please complete this
Athletics and Fitness Attestation form.
At a minimum, in order to be cleared to play after a positive COVID-19 diagnosis, please submit the following to the Athletic Trainer:
- Written clearance by a physician and documentation that a screening has occurred with a detailed history and normal exam, including a normal ECG screening.
- Any other pertinent information and documentation that applies.
We sincerely appreciate your partnership with us in support of the wellbeing of your student(s) and the entire Beaver community.
If you have any questions please reach out to me directly.
BVR Athletic Trainer
