Concussion Forms for Grades 7-12

Iowa Code Section 280.13C requires that, annually, every student (grades 7-12) and their parent/guardian must receive and sign the concussion and brain injury information sheet titled, "Heads Up: Concussion in High School Sports" before the student is able to participate in interscholastic sports, cheerleading, and dance in any way (practice or competition).  Legislation signed April 26, 2018 required the development of an updated concussion and other brain injury information sheet. That work has been completed and the link for the updated form is copied below. Any forms signed previously are valid for 12 calendar months from the date of signature; then, signatures must be obtained for the updated form for the student to continue participating. There is NO GRACE period for the "Heads Up: Concussion in High School Sports" form.

The Spanish version of the form is being updated at this time and will be available in the near future.  That link will appear here - http://www.iahsaa.org/information/sports-medicine-wellness-info/concussions/
