Student Physicals for 25-26 School Year
Don't forget that you can get your student's athletic physicals before school starts. Physical forms are available in the district office. Please use our forms since the packet also contains the other athletic information we need signed. When completed, you can drop the physicals off at the district office. If closed, there is a drop box in the door. You don't have to wait until school starts!
📢 Enrollment Fee Correction
We would like to issue a correction regarding the enrollment information that was recently sent out.
There was a typo in the section about the Activity Fee. It incorrectly stated that the $10 Activity Fee applies only to students in grades 7–12. The correct information is:
🔹 The $10 Activity Fee applies to all students enrolling in grades K–12.
We apologize for any confusion this may have caused and appreciate your understanding.
Thank you!
