Medical clearance for the 2025-26 school year

For checklists and parent letters sent out in preparation for the 2025-26 school year, see the forms and checklists page.

To participate in a sport, student-athletes must complete a physical examination every 13 months (12 months, with a one-month grace period). When your child has their annual well-child exam, we recommend asking the healthcare provider to complete the KS Physical Evaluation form at that time.

Parents should then upload the completed form to their child’s profile in Mo‘omō‘ali Olakino (EHR) Parent Portal. The KS Physical Evaluation form and instructions for logging in and uploading documents to the EHR Parent Portal are available at www.ksbe.edu/malama-ola/forms.

Additionally, student-athletes must have health insurance to participate.

Mālama Ola is the enterprise division responsible for medical clearance and physical and mental health clinical services provided to KS students. It is comprised of the Health Services, Behavioral Health, and Athletic Health departments that support the three campuses, 30 preschools, and summer programs. The Mālama Ola division contributes to E Ola! by supporting child well-being, which helps optimize student learning.
