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 to the coaching staff on Friday morning for any in-season student-athlete who is under a C- in any class. Students must be passing a minimum of five academic classes in the current marking period. 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! ✅

1. Physical Pass Form (must have Student ID number for student athletic pass).
2. Digital Pass (must have Student ID number for student athletic pass).

Calling all 6th, 7th, and 8th graders! Join us for tryouts on March 1st (10:00 AM - 11:45 AM at RP Intermediate) and March 2nd (5:15 PM - 7:00 PM at RP High School).
