TRANSPORTATION WAIVER

The athletic department is now providing a transportation waiver for students who need to be driven home by their parent or guardian from an away game.  The expectation is still to have kids ride the bus home, but we understand that situations arise that requires a parent to drive the student home from an away game.  All forms must be submitted by 3 PM the DAY BEFORE your event.

The fee will be $100.00 for students participating in programs that are 9th – 12th grade levels and will be $75.00 for students participating in programs which are 7th and 8th grade levels. These fees will be a one-time annual fee and will enable the student to participate in multiple activities for the year.

Provisions will be made for exemption and/or accommodations in paying these fees for students in the free and reduced lunch program. You must go into School Pay to see if you are eligible.

The Athletic Department will be utilizing Student Central for athletic registrations.  This online registration platform will allow students and families in grades 7-12 to register for sports, complete all required athletic department forms, and PIAA CIPPE Sections 1-8 (athletic physical exam forms).
