If you are in a SPORT, PLEASE READ!
REMINDER: EXTRACURRICULAR ATTENDANCE POLICY - PRACTICE & COMPETITION
Students must be in attendance for the entire school day in order to practice or compete in an event.
Special circumstances may merit exception with prior approval from the Principal/Dean of Students, or designee. Parents MUST notify the office 24 hours IN ADVANCE of any appointments for that day to still be eligible.
If an absence is deemed unexcused it will result in ineligibility for participation in extracurricular activities until the next full day of attendance.
Sports Physical Reminder
Sports physicals are required before a student can begin practice. Sports physicals are good for two school years. Any physical that is dated before March 31, 2024, will not be valid for the 2025-2026 school year.
A reminder to parents that if you need a sports physical for your child this upcoming season, please try and have your WIAA paperwork done this month so the onsite clinicians can complete them before the summer break. The provider is typically here on Tuesdays and Fridays. There is not a provider available at school over the summer. If you would like to have the physical completed at school, plan ahead. Urgent medical needs must be cared for prior to physicals being completed. If you prefer to utilize your child's primary care provider, I encourage you to make an appointment well in advance. Lastly, as a reminder, the clinic in Walgreens has closed.
