Medical Forms & UIL Parent Information
General Information about Medical Forms
Any child who does not have a 2023-2024 GISD Physical on file and their Rank One forms completed will not be allowed to participate in athletics.
Additionally, any child who goes to the doctor for any reason must bring back a note that lists a diagnosis as well as any restrictions (if any) that an athlete has, the timeframe of the restrictions, and any recommended therapy or rehabilitation. We strongly recommend that you use the EVHS Physician's Note for the majority of injuries/illnesses and the EVHS Physician's Note for Concussions (located in the Concussion Forms Section).
The note must be returned to the Staff Athletic Trainer before the student-athlete will be allowed to resume ANY participation in athletics.
UIL Safety Information
UIL Automatic External Defibrillator(AED) Information
Upon recommendation by the UIL Medical Advisory Committee, the UIL Legislative Council passed a rule change to require at least one Automated External Defibrillator (AED) on each UIL member high school campus. This measure took effect on August 1, 2001. At this time, each UIL high school must have at least one AED on campus. Additionally, each school should have a plan for the implementation, coordination, and maintenance of the AED.

UIL Information on Staphylococcal Infections for Athletes
This information is provided to assist you in the control and prevention of staphylococcal (commonly called staph) infections. These infections usually are easy to treat with inexpensive, well-tolerated antibiotics. However, some staph bacteria have developed resistance; that is, the antibiotics can no longer kill the bacteria. Although antibiotic-resistant infections pose a significant health threat, the following measures are effective against many other infectious diseases.
