Links
Important Forms:
IMPORTANT: Students who will be participating in 2008 Winter Sports need to view an information packet and return certain forms. The packet is available as a pdf file. These forms are due back in the Athletic Office by November 10th.
A new Green Health History/Questionnaire must be completed and signed EACH SEASON by the parent and student athlete. Sports physicals are good for 1 year from the first day of practice of the sport, so if you participated in a fall sport, you do not need a new physical, just a new green Health History form. This form can be downloaded- it is the Physical Exam Info part 2 below.
SEASON PASSES
The Athletic Department recognizes that the cost of attending athletic events is demanding at times. To encourage adult and student support, the Athletic Department will be offering Season Passes. Adult Passes are $40.00 and Student Passes are $27.00.
They will only be recognized at home games, and do not include games sponsored by Passaic County or NJSIAA.
They can be obtained in the Athletic Office.
