Message from the Athletic Director
Hello, Rockets!
I hope you all had a great weekend! We are three weeks away from the end of the school year.
Families, now is the time to begin registering for 2026-2027 sports! Please head over to Final Forms and register for each sport you are interested in next school year. Coaches will be communicating off-season development opportunities and calendars through Final Forms.
As always, I encourage you to strive for excellence by competing in the classroom and on the playing surface. Continue to monitor communication from the coaching staff, and feel free to reach out to the main office or coaches with any questions. Have a great week and GO ROCKETS! π
Sincerely,
Mr. Riley

RPMS Attendance Policy for Athletics
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."
Academic Eligibility π
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.
Sports Physicals for 2025-2026
Required for all students (6th-8th grade) competing in RPMS Athletic Programs
Per MHSAA policies, a physical examination must be completed on or after April 15, 2025 to be considered a valid physical for the 2025-2026 school year.
Please note that your studentβs 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.
Registration for 2025-2026 Sports is now open!
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 youβre signed up to receive preseason, tryout, and practice information.
No Final Forms = Ineligible to Participate. π
All Green = ALL GOOD! β
