Quick steps for parents/students using the new online athletic clearance process

 

Greetings Sea Kings!

 

New to this year is a mostly-online clearance process for athletic and extracurricular programs. Most of the traditional packet will be completed online, but students will still need to turn in the hard copy of their physical, their confirmation page, and any physical checks (you can donate online as well) to the health office and student store.

 

We will be collecting our Participation Donations at a later date this year as our competitive seasons begin.

 

We rely on our Participation Donation program to pay for our teams’ transportation, officials, tournament/meet entries, and additional equipment. It is a vital part of our athletic programs and without sufficient funding, we support all of our programs at their highest levels. All donations are tax deductible and our school taxpayer id is #95-6006594. Donations are not refundable.

 

This school year, we are starting programs and practices prior to us being able to try out for our teams. Clearing for a sport does not mean that you have made the team. It does give you the ability to participate in any voluntary training sessions this school year.

 

If you plan to play multiple sports this year, you may clear for all of those at once. At the end of your clearance, you will be given the option to select multiple sports. Start out by picking the sport that you expect to play first this school year.

Multiple Sports

Once you complete a clearance for one sport and arrive at the Confirmation Message, you will have the option to check off additional sports/activities for the current school year. PLEASE ONLY CHECK OFF SPORTS YOU KNOW YOU WILL PLAY.  Don’t just check ones because you are interested in those.
If you decide to participate in an additional sport/activity later on, you can access the multiple sport check boxes by clicking on “Print” under the Confirmation Message of your original Clearance for that specific year.

         

Physicals

The physical form can be found and printed from the link on this page. It must be signed by a doctor or medical professional.

Why haven’t I been cleared?
