05.28.13 Sports Physicals at Monroe Clinic You do need to schedule your time if you are planning to attend the Monroe Clinic Physical. Due to the extended weekend, you can call the Monroe office Saturday morning from 8:00am-noon at 608-324-2400. Or, you can call the Freeport office of the Monroe Clinic on Tuesday at 815-235-1406.
Per IHSA regulations, any student entering grade 5-12, and wishing to participate in Aquin Athletics in 2013-14, are required to have a current yearly physical on file with the Aquin offices. The State of Illinois requires all students to have a physical when entering 6th grade and 9th grade. This Sports Physical does not fulfill this requirement, but does fulfill the IHSA requirement.

Monroe Clinic . 1301 Highland View Drive . 3:00-5:00pm--By Appointment

The cost of the physical is $20 and includes EKG and cardiac screenings. As only 6-8 heart screenings can be completed per hour, all athletes may not be able to get the EKG/Cardiac screening on this day, but athletes will receive a ‘coupon’ to be used at a later date for the free screenings.

Students will need to call the Monroe Clinic office for a time slot--this is different than the FHN physical clinic. Physical forms (preferably completed before the physical, will be available at either Aquin campus office). As they are a 4-part form, they will not be available online.

Welcome to Aquin

The Aquin Catholic School System is a faith community founded in Christ where all individuals are given the opportunity to develop both their moral character and learning potential.

Students are instructed in human knowledge and skills, valued indeed for their own worth but seen simultaneously as deriving their most profound significance from God's plan for His creation. Here, too, instruction in religious truth and values is an integral part of the school program.
