Update

 

The spring athletic season will be starting soon and it is important that everything is in order if you plan to participate.  Please check your email for the signup list which was sent out Friday.  If you do not see your number it means you are not signed up. You can sign up at whathletics.com . If you do see your number, please make sure you have all of the required elements.  You must have a valid physical on file with the school nurse.  The physicals expire 13 months from the day it was performed.  We have no latitude with this rule so check your date and make sure you never have a lapse of coverage.  Also, all students must take the concussion pre-test.  If it does not show you having it complete you can do so at whathletics.com .  Please be aware that 50 percent of students fail the first time because they are not in a quiet room or have other distractions.  You have to give the test your undivided attention and once started you cannot pause or refresh the screen.  You may not participate in your spring sport until you have passed the test.

 

All students and at least one parent should attend our spring pre-season meeting on Tuesday March 23rd at 7:01pm on zoom.  At that time, we will be discussing a lot of important information.  We were just approved to begin a little earlier than the previously published 4/29date.  Each coach is allowed to select 3 days of practice each week from 4/5 to 4/18.  The coaches are working now to formulate how they want to use those dates.  They will be optional and they are not open to anyone playing a fall 2 sport.  You also may not quit your fall 2 sport to go to these workouts.  Fall 2 athletes, regardless of whether they are still on the roster or not, may not start spring sports until 4/29.

 

The meeting on Tuesday will begin with a brief athletic presentation and then each team will go into their own breakout room.  Please make sure you attend.  The invite information was sent via email on Friday.
