The North Point Activities Department hopes you had a great summer, and we can't wait to welcome you back to the Den for what is sure to be a great school year!

I'd like to thank all of our coaches and sponsors for the countless hours that many of them spent at North Point working with our students! From summer contact days, summer leagues, and various camps, our staff sacrificed their time this summer to stay connected to our Grizzlies! We appreciate you!

To our NP students who stayed active and involved this summer, great job! We know that the hard work and dedication you have for your sport or activity will serve you well when contests get underway on Aug. 29.

We are excited to welcome back all of our Grizzlies who are participating in a fall activity on August 12th for the start of fall practices.

The Activities Department really appreciates all the families that completed their online athletic registration by July 30th as requested back in May. We did have a number of last minute registrants so the office will be working through those this week to get you your final clearance.

Remember that all fall sports and activities must register online, even if you registered for a spring tryout like dance or cheer, the fall registration is required for a final check of grades, physical, and impact testing. Band must have a physical to participate, and Guard must have a physical and an impact test.

If you did not register or haven't gotten a clearance email you will not be able to start practicing on August 12th and could miss competition if you miss too many practices. Once we have worked through the registrations that were completed by July 30th, we will re-open the registration site for other registrants.

If you have questions, or a coach is missing information, please email them directly using the email listed in the spreadsheet.

If you have a student participating in a sport this year, or just enjoy visiting the Den for events, an Activity Pass is your best value, and the easiest way to gain quick access to NP venues for games!

The Activity Pass will even get you into road contests at other Wentzville School District Schools - Liberty, Holt, and Timberland.

A family pass (for a family of 5) is only $80 for the entire year! Admission into home events in the fall like football and volleyball is $5 for adults and $2 for students. If you attend all the varsity home games and games at our district opponents (Holt, Timberland, Liberty) you would spend $112 at the gate! By getting the family sports pass you can attend those games, plus lower level football and all the home volleyball you can handle this fall! Your activity pass will continue to pay off the rest of the year as you can use it at home basketball and wrestling and boys volleyball in the spring! It really does represent a great value as it will pay for itself during the football season alone!

The district and NPHS are trying to move to a cashless gate as much as possible. In order to help you get into events quickly with your Activity Pass these will only be digital this year. Please use a parent email to purchase the pass so that it does not get blocked in student email accounts.

Check out the link for the GoFan:How To Guide below to learn how to access your pass, how it will work at the gate, and how to distribute your family passes.

You can access fall sports schedules now on the webpage linked below. There is also an "Activity Scheduler" app available for your mobile device that will alert you of schedule changes. It is a great idea to go ahead and save that link to your browser for future reference.

Please remember that there is a good chance for early season schedule changes due to other school's participation numbers or unanticipated scheduling conflicts. We thank you for your patience as we iron those out with other schools.

A special accomplishment for our Volleyball Program after this spring season, both the Girls and Boys Team were recognized for their excellence in the classroom by earning the AVCA Team Academic Award! The NP volleyball program was one of only 7 in the entire state that earned this award for both the Girls and Boys Teams.

We love the focus that Coach Young and his staff place on excellence in the classroom and on the court!

The Grizzly Way Booster Club is an all school booster club that helps fund requests for all school sponsored teams and activities. Please check out their website to see how they've helped fund requests, over $75,000 worth in just a few short years since the opening of the building!

You can also check out their online spirit wear store, and look for opportunities to volunteer and get involved! Click the picture below to consider becoming a member today!

Attendance is important for all of our students here at North Point HS. Data shows that students who have excellent attendance are more likely to perform well in class and get the most out of their experience at school.

Please remember that if your student is participating in a sport or activity, they cannot miss class on a day of competition (or the Friday before a Saturday Contest) and still be eligible to compete.

Excused absences for doctors appointments, etc. must be approved by Dr. Adams at least 24 hours prior to a planned absence on a competition day. Please remember that WIN time counts toward this requirement, and students leaving for an unexcused absence during that time would also be ineligible to compete that day.

Please remember that participating in sports and activities here at North Point is a privilege, not a right. Student participants are expected to maintain their eligibility and citizenship by following our district and MSHSAA Guidelines. Please click on the pictures below to review the attached resources to help ensure your eligibility for the entirety of the school year.

Be sure to follow the Activities Department to stay up to date of everything happening at North Point.
