Students are welcome to stay after school to attend the games and cheer on their peers. We will make an announcement at the end of the day with instructions on where students should report if they are staying for the athletic games. Tickets cost $6 and can be purchased through the GoFan app or with cash at the event. We accept cash at all athletic events.
Athletic Eligibility
WCPSS announced last week that they have modified the eligibility requirement that states that students must pass 70% of their classes. This means that our students must pass 5 out of their 6 classes in order to be eligible to participate on an athletic team. This new criteria will take place immediately and apply to students that are currently playing a winter sport and students that would like to try out for a Spring Sport. Eligibility will be based on student's 2nd quarter grades when they are finalized on Friday, January 17th. If you have any questions about eligibility, you may contact our Athletic Director, Coach Umphrey at vumphrey@wcpss.net.
Interest Meetings for Spring Sports & DragonFly
Interest Meetings for Spring Sports will take place this week. Times and locations are listed below. 7th and 8th grade students wishing to participate on an athletic team in the Spring must set up/update their account in Dragonfly. You will upload your child's physical form, acknowledge parent/student contracts, and etc. on this site. Please follow this LINK for instructions on how to set up your account. Please email Athletic Director Umphrey at vumphrey@wcpss.net if you have any questions. All students should be picked up in the bus loop.
