TR 7th and 8th Grade Parents, Tomorrow is the first day of tryouts. If your child is planning on trying out for volleyball or soccer or participating in Cross Country, they are required to have a current sports physical on file with the school along with the concussion form complete which is on our athletics webpage.
Your child CANNOT tryout if they do not have a current sports physical on file. They are only good for 13 months from the date of the physical. We are currently missing a significant amount of current physicals from the students who signed up to tryout or participate.
Please make sure that your child brings the current physical to school with them tomorrow or they will be sent home and unable to tryout.
Thank you,
Catie Peterson, Principal
Kim Ellis, Athletic Coordinator
