Beginning in 2008-09 school year,
all 7th and 9th grade students will need a well child exam/EPSDT screen to participate/try-out for athletic teams. Unfortunately, this screening/physical cannot be administered at the school as we do with the regular sports physicals at this time. We have the new form in the office.
If your child is going to be a 7th grade student in 2008-09, they will have to have the well child exam/EPSDT examination before trying out for a sports team at MMS.
If you do not have this exam and you are going to be a 7th grader at MMS in 2008-09, you will not be allowed to participate in athletics.
This is a state requirement that goes into effect beginning May 1, 2008 for all students entering 7th and 9th grades in Tennessee. We encourage all students who will be in 7th grade in 2008-09 to get this special exam in the summer from their physician. If you wait until school starts in August, you may not be able to participate in football, cheerleading, or volleyball.



This is a link to the general website. As soon as we have completed teacher training we will begin using the system. We hope everything will be in place by the beginning of the 4th nine weeks.
