We highly recommend students attend the annual sports physical clinic night in June hosted by Dr. Sarah Woerner and other local doctors at 140 Litton Drive Suite 100.(At the roundabout) Cost is $15 and sports packets may be picked up at the Main Office or the Athletic Department. If your physical is completed by a family doctor please return the entire signed and completed athletic packet directly to Lyn Keck (office located in the hallway of Principal's Office) for student clearance.

If you are planning on driving students other than your children to school events a parent driver application is required. Forms may be picked up at the Main Office or Athletic Department and should be returned with copies of your insurance policy and drivers license to Lyn Keck for approval.
