Several things that I need your son/daughter to complete for me by Sept 10, 2009. If they have NEVER competed in ATHLETICS at Grissom!

They need to go to the www.starsportsmanship.com website and complete the STAR program, once they have completed the program, they copy the certificate at the end of the program. The certificate has to be on file at the school before they can compete. The code for Grissom is 01271. I also will need a copy of their birth certificate and a school transcript from last year.

THE FOLLOWING FORMS ARE FOR EVERYONE TO COMPLETE: (1) Physical Form, (2) Release form, (3) HCS Athletic Form, (4) Leave Permission Form, (5) Driving Forms

Three of those forms were e-mailed tonight (August 12,) the other two will be handed out at in class on Thursday and also available on Friday night.
