Prior to participation, students must have:
1) ATHLETIC PASSPORT. The Athletic Passport is a form that students complete to update the Activities Office on their current biographical information. It also includes sport participation and emergency information. One may be completed in the summer for the entire year or prior to each sport. Athletic Passports may be downloaded at www.j-hawks.com/information/forms.
2) CONCUSSION IN HIGH SCHOOL SPORTS. Annually, every student (grades 7-12) and their parent/guardian must receive and sign a concussion and brain injury information sheet provided by the Iowa High School Athletic Association, and Iowa Girls High School Athletic Union before the student is able to participate in interscholastic sports, cheerleading, and dance in any way (practice or competition). This information sheet is titled, "Heads Up: Concussion in High School Sports." This form may be downloaded at www.j-hawks.com/information/forms.

3) ImPACT Testing. Again in 2017-2018, every high school athlete will receive a computerized neurocognitive assessment tools and services that are used by medical doctors, psychologists, athletic trainers, and other licensed healthcare professionals to assist them in determining an athlete's ability to return to play after suffering a concussion.
