Bishops Blog - Summer update
3 August 2016
It is hard to believe we are just weeks away from the start of the
2016 Fall Season. Our season starts on 19 August with Football conditioning and
then tryouts for all others starting on the 25th of August. We have a lot of
students trying out for our sports teams this fall, which is a great thing.
Here are some things to keep in mind as we get closer to the season kick off;
Late Registration - Please ensure you have registered with
FamilyID and have a current physical on file with the school nurse. The nurse
will be medically clearing all student athletes.
ImPACT - If you are due for IMPACT (Concussion
testing assessment) please email our trainer at sadukonis@awhs.org to schedule
testing. This is required every two years and she has emailed students who need
updating or initial test. This must be completed prior to tryouts.The available dates are
August 10, 11, 12 - 10am to 1pm, the computer lab has 16 computers, and the
testing takes about 45 minutes. Please respond by August 6th to Ms. Stephanie
Adukonis at her email sadukonis@awhs.org.
