Per the RPMS Handbook: "An athlete must attend regular school classes one full day in order to practice or participate in an athletic contest that day, unless expressly excused by the principal, assistant principal, or athletic director prior to the absence."

Parents and student-athletes, a grade report will be collected and submitted for those currently competing in athletics each Monday morning. Students must be passing a minimum of five academic classes in the current quarter up to and/or within seven days of the contest. Coaches will be notified of any student-athlete who is currently under a C- in any class. Academic progress will be monitored by the Athletic Director, please ensure that you are competing in the classroom and on the playing surface.

Per MHSAA policies, a physical examination must be completed on or after April 15, 2024 to be considered a valid physical for the 2024-2025 school year.

Please note that your student’s annual physical/medical history form (all pages) will need to be uploaded to Final Forms. For 6th-grade families, sports physicals SHOULD NOT be delivered to the Intermediate building.

RPMS Athletics partners with FinalForms, an online service that allows you to complete and sign athletic participation forms for your students. FinalForms saves data from season to season and year to year, meaning you will never need to enter the same information twice!

We are asking that ALL parents of athletes use FinalForms. Please make sure you’re signed up to receive preseason, tryout, and practice information.

No Final Forms = Ineligible to Participate. 👎

All Green = ALL GOOD! ✅
