7th grade immunizations REQUIRED
We’d like to remind our Rising 7th Grade families that students are required to have a Tdap booster, Meningococcal, and HPV vaccinations to enter 7th grade. Proof of immunizations are due no later than August 17th to ensure your student can be permitted to start school on August 21. You can check to see what your student is missing by going into the Health section of ParentVue.
Immunization records can be dropped off at the school or emailed to Mr. Forberg at [email protected]. Please do not email immunization records to Nurse Camacho as she will not be in the building until August 14th and may not be accessing emails before then.
For more information, please use the following link. Additional reminders may be sent out throughout the summer.
FALL ATHLETICS
If your student intends to try out for a sports team this year, please remember to get their sports physical completed along with concussion training. 1st time athletes MUST attend an in-person concussion training. Any athlete that has tried out for or played a sport previously in middle school should do the training online here.
Our first in-person Concussion Training will be on August 15th. 7th & 8th Grade returning students will have a session at 6:00 p.m. and a session for 6th Grade students will begin at 7:00 p.m. The 2023-24 sports physical form is attached to this newsletter and you only need one form for any/all sports for the year.
Fall tryouts for Boys Soccer, Football, Girls Track, Volleyball, and Cheerleading will begin on Monday, August 28th after school from 3:15 - 5:15. Students will need to make sure they bring/wear proper athletic attire for their sport (athletic shorts, sneakers/cleats, and an appropriate shirt). They will have an opportunity to change in the locker room before tryouts begin. Coaches will be checking an updated Eligibility List at the beginning of practice to see if the updated Athletic Physical and Concussion Training have been completed before trying out. If they are missing any part, they will not be able to try out until all paperwork has been submitted.
To ensure a fair and equitable tryout for all athletes, all tryouts and practices are closed to the public per Prince William County Public Schools policy. Please respect all athletes participating in that sport as some athletes might be nervous during the tryout process.
Completed Athletic Physical forms can be dropped off to the school on Wednesday August 9th from 1:00 – 3:00 p.m., Tuesday August 15th at the Concussion Training, or brought by the student to Mr. Larson during the first week of school. Emailed forms will not be accepted. It is highly recommended that you keep a copy of the completed sports physical!!! If you have any questions about middle school athletics, please email our Athletic Director, Mr. Larson, at [email protected]
