Athletics

Only 7th and 8th grade students are allowed to participate in school athletics currently.  Make sure to fill out the athletics portion of registration, even if your student is just thinking about joining.  Registering for a sport does not require the student to participate, but it is helpful to have the information.  Students are always welcome to join once the particular sport’s season begins, even if they did not register!

Continuing Families

Registration is a required for all students.  The process ensures your student’s information and permissions are verified and updated for the upcoming school year.   Registration is done through the Infinite Campus Parent Portal.
