Salisbury High School will host free winter athletic physicals for middle and high school athletes in the SHS main gym 5-7:30 p.m. Oct. 24. Use the sign-up genius link sent via email or email Monica Deeb at mdeeb@salisburysd.org for the link.

If your Salisbury Middle School/SHS child played a fall sport or was in marching band, your child does not need a new physical unless an injury prevented your child from completing the fall season. Recertification forms for fall athletes are located in student central/big teams accounts of SMS/SHS fall athletes at this time. Your child may go to your family physician or another approved health care provider. The physical form must be dated on or after June 1 in order to play a Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association, Inc. sport (or participate in twirling) in the 2023-2024 school year.

The next curriculum and technology committee meeting will be held 7 p.m. Oct. 18 immediately followed by the school board meeting. Both meetings will be held at Lehigh Career and Technical Institute this month.
