If you need assistance with PlanetHS or need more information, please consult the help documents found here https://schoolsupport.helpdocs.com or email schoolsupport@planeths.com. If you have questions regarding the content of form requirements, please contact Mr. Deutsch in the Athletic Office at deutschc@nwlehighsd.org.
Lastly, please note that LVHN will once again be providing complimentary sport physicals.
Attached please find information regarding this process. LVHN is offering physicals that can be scheduled at the convenience of the family at dozens of ExpressCARE and Care on Demand locations throughout the region starting on June 1st and running through August 16th. This allows more than 10 weeks for your families to schedule their physicals throughout the summer.
There are two options to schedule physicals:
- The first and EASIEST option is for families to log in to the MyLVHN app where they can self schedule their appointment. Easy to follow instructions are included in the attachment.
- The second option is for people to click the “Register for a free PIAA physical” link. This will direct people to fill out a form to register, and someone from our team will call them within 5-7 business days to schedule their appointment. This option is primarily for people who are not signed up for the MyLVHN app (and don’t want to sign up for one), AND for families who are signing up multiple athletes at once, such as siblings.
There is also a convenient email link at the bottom of the attachment if people have any questions about the process or scheduling concerns.
