School Supplies and General Information:
LCMS Events Calendar (This will be updated throughout the school year)
ATHLETICS
PIAA sports physical -
All participating 7th/8th grade students must have a completed PIAA physical (dated after June 1, 2025) before stepping onto the court/field.
Sections 1 to 5 within the PIAA sports physical packet must be completed and signed by a parent or guardian. Section 6 must be completed by an authorized medical examiner (family doctor, urgent care, minute clinic). The physical forms can be downloaded from the link - PIAA Physical Form - Updated 3/22/2023
In previous years, CSD has partnered to offer discounted physicals with Liberty Urgent Care Locations. At the moment, we are unsure if this agreement will be offered for the upcoming school year.
Concussion Test completion
Concussion tests are a baseline assessment that helps our coaches ensure the concussion safety of our students as they participate in sports throughout the season.
Within the first few school days, each team will host an information session after school (from 3:00-4:15 p.m.). Concussion testing will be completed during these sessions.
Following the session, late buses will also be available to return students home, or you may pick up your child.
Additional Notes:
As the first week of school nears, we will share specific dates and meeting room numbers.
