  Greensboro Day School offers an annual discounted PPE/Sports Physical in early August of each school year. This physical is provided by our team physicians Murphy Wainer Orthopedics. This $20.00 Pre-Participation Sports Physical will cover your student athlete for all 3 sport seasons: fall, winter and spring, (this is NOT covered by insurance or co-pays).   
  
  

  Health NOTE:  This is NOT a substitute for your child's annual pediatric wellness exam covered by your insurance.  
  
  

  It is recommended that families choose to complete the PPE in early August to ensure their child is not restricted from participation due to a physical expiring mid season.
