Before Your Athletic Season Begins

All students interested in participating in any interscholastic athletic activity must have the following forms on file with the school nurse or your coach (you only need to submit these forms once each school year). If an up to date physical is not on file students will not be permitted to tryout or attend practice.

You can upload these forms here in our secure portal 

Incoming 6th Graders

The Certificate of Child Health Exam form is required for all incoming 6th Grade students and can serve as the athletic physical. Make sure that your physician checks the interscholastic sports participation box.

Uniform Modifications

The district allows a student to modify his or her athletic or team uniform for the purpose of modesty in clothing or attire that is accordance with the requirements of his or her religion or his or her cultural values or modesty preferences. A student is not required to receive the prior approval of the school board for such modification.

Concussion Information

Concussions are common, particularly if you play a contact sport. But every concussion injures your brain to some extent. This injury needs time and rest to heal properly. Most concussive traumatic brain injuries are mild, and people usually recover fully. Below is a Concussion Fact Sheet for parents/guardians.
