Families the message below was emailed to all parents and guardians, please see below and get registration done as soon as possible. There will also be a parent meeting for parents of spring and winter track on Thursday Feb. 22nd in the LGI at 7pm.
Athletic registration for Spring Sports will open on Thursday, February 1st and close on Thursday, March 14th. To be cleared for the first day we suggest you get all paperwork in by March 4th. We will be using Genesis for all sports forms for the upcoming Spring season. All medical forms must be submitted in paper form to the location designated by your grade level.
We have opened a Tab in your Parent and Student Access accounts called "Athletics". This screen will display the date of your last physical exam. It is good for 365 days and must be good on the first day of practice. (A physical older than 90 days on the first day of practice also requires submission of the Health History 90-Day Update form to the nurse's office.)
It will also list all of the dates you signed your required forms. The current date of a valid ImPACT test will be listed. It is good for 2 years and must cover the entire season.
Please make sure all four pages of the athletic physical packet are filled out in completion and include both student and parent signatures where highlighted. ALL YES answers must include an explanation in the designated location at the bottom of the physical form.

ImPACT Testing- Athletes must be registered in Genesis to start this process!!! All athletes must successfully complete ImPACT testing before participating in a sport. Valid ImPACT tests are good for two years. Athletes will be notified if an ImPACT test is needed.
ImPACT Testing will typically be conducted virtually (online). The current testing date scheduled is Thursday, February 22nd at 4:00pm and 5:00pm. The session will be locked at 5 minutes after the designated start time. Please be early. If a valid ImPACT test is not on file, an email with the test time registration link will be sent to both the primary parent (in Genesis) and student at their school email.
Students must be registered for Spring Sports in Genesis no later than February 13th, 2023 in order to receive the link to sign up for that date.
