Dear Parents and Students, In preparation for the 2022-2023 school year, I would like to take this opportunity to explain some items that need to be completed before next year to allow all students who wish to participate in athletics to be able to try out for their favorite sports. The fall sports season begins with Heat Acclimatization for varsity football and varsity golf practices on August 8th. Most other sports will begin their fall seasons on August 15th. Some of our junior high sports like golf or tennis may start a little later than that. For a student to participate in athletics, he or she as well as a parent, must have an account with Planet HS. Directions on how to create an account are below, as well as directions as to how to proceed if you already have an account. Once accounts are set up and information completed in PlanetHS, a student must have a physical from a physician dated on or after June 1, 2022. (The Athletic Department will be providing physicals in the Middle School on June 8th and 10th. High School physicals will be done on June 14th.) The Wallenpaupack Athletic Department will continue to use a program that is part of Big Teams called Planet HS, or Student Central. This program will allow students and parents to access the PIAA CIPPE form for physicals. Sections 1 - 6 of the CIPPE may be completed online. Physicals may be uploaded to your account. Those of you who will have a private physician do your physical, will be able to upload that to your account as well. Electronic paperwork must be completed by August 1, 2022, to ensure that an athlete may participate in a fall sport. I am looking forward to the 2022 - 2023 school year and would like to provide as many students with the opportunity to compete in sports as possible. I will be in the Athletic Office throughout the summer where you can contact me if you have any questions. Thank you in advance for your cooperation. Sincerely, Ann Marie Simons, RAA New Student Guide: https://bigteams.force.com/support/s/article/PHS-Parent-Student-Getting-Started-With-Registration Returning Student Guide: https://bigteams.force.com/support/s/article/Returning-Parent-Student-Getting-Started-Registration
Any student who wishes to participate in a Wallenpaupack Area School District PIAA sports team for the 2021-2022 school year, must complete the CIPPE form, which is also found under the "WAHS->Athletics->Forms" link on our website. Please note that it is also available on Student Central (see above) once your account is setup. | ||
