Intramural Permission

Schools must have a process in place to obtain the following from the parent/guardian prior to student participation in intramural activities:

• Permission to participate
• Acknowledgment of the elements of the risk
• Student’s medical information

Ophea has developed two options that schools may use/adapt to acquire this information from parents/guardians. The first option includes obtaining the permission to participate and the acknowledgment of the elements of risk (while this option does not include students medical information, schools must have a process in place for gathering and communicating medical information of participants before participation) while the second option includes obtaining the permission to participate, the acknowledgement of the elements of risk, and the appropriate medical information of the student from parents/guardians:

• Sample Intramural Permission and Acknowledgment of Elements of Risk Form
  Schools could include this sample form within the forms used for parental/guardian permission for internet use and permission to photograph their child/ward or within a digital system used by the school board (for example, Power School, My Blue Print etc.).
• Sample Intramural Medical Information and Consent to Participate Form
  Schools can send this form to parents/guardians to fill out and complete per intramural activity during the school year.
