3rd Quarter Sports Registration - Open Now!

Registration for girls' basketball, wrestling, and cross-country skiing is now open! Interested students should pick up a registration packet outside the main office. To join, the following components must be submitted by December 19th to Mrs. Crane :

• Participation form

• Current physical on file with this school; physicals are good for 18 months

• $110 activity fee*; payable on ParentConnect or in the front office

*The activity fee is only required for the first two ASD interscholastic sports a student participates in each school year.

Paperwork is attached.

Cross-Country Skiing

Unlike most of our other sports, cross-country skiing requires specialized equipment. While we do have some old skis and poles that can be issued to students in need, our collection of ski boots is very limited. We highly encourage our Coyote Skiers to source their own NNN ski boots. Play It Again Sports is typically the most affordable local option.

CANDY GRAMS!

The final days to purchase Candy Grams during lunch will be Monday and Tuesday. Candy Grams cost $1.00 and will be delivered on Wednesday. Proceeds go towards a school improvement project run by the Student Government.
