  All athletes must be registered each athletic season on FamilyID.  Once your athlete is registered you will receive an email advising you if your child has been approved, or not approved.  If they are not approved, there will be an explanation.  You don't need to call the nurse's office to see if your athlete has been approved or not, you will get an email.

  For any other questions, please feel free to contact the Director of Athletics, Susan Dullea.
