Athletic Paperwork Submission New Procedures Paperwork will only be collected over four evening events in the month of February (No paperwork will be accepted during the school day or after school) Each submission event will run from 4:00pm – 8:00pm. Each evening event will host sports specifically assigned to that event.

Athletic Paperwork Submission New Procedures – con’t Each student must attend the event with a least one parent to assist with any missing information, signatures, or concerns of the school doctors – Please make sure that the school nurses have your son’s or daughter’s Care Plan (i.e. Asthma Action Plan, Allergy Action Plan, etc.) on file. We will not process paperwork without this information on file. Stations: – #1: For students submitting Health History Update Questionnaire to be reviewed by school doctor – #2: For students submitting paperwork completed by personal physician to be review by school doctor – #3: For students who need to have physical administered by school doctor

The Payoff Under this new system, considering that all paperwork is in order, an athlete will be cleared to play spring sports on the evening s/he submits his/her paperwork. Previously, clearance for sports took roughly 7-10 days.

Assigned Dates Monday 2/9/15: Track and Field Wednesday 2/11/15: Golf, Tennis, Volleyball, Softball Tuesday 2/24/15: Baseball and Crew Wednesday 2/25/15: Lacrosse (boys and girls) If you are unable to attend your assigned evening, communicate with your coach immediately and s/he will assign you a different evening. If you are assigned to the last evening, do not wait until that night to inform your coach you can’t make it. We can, and will, fit you during an earlier evening if we know we need to.
