Kindergarten and New Student Information

📣 Attention RGS Parents of Student-Athletes! 🥎⚾🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️
As softball, baseball, and cross-country seasons are quickly approaching, now is the time to make sure your child has a current sports physical on file!

✅ Sports physicals are valid for 13 months.
✅ General (well-child) physicals are valid for 12 months.
✅ Incoming 6th graders: Your required 6th-grade physical will also count for participation in school sports, including tryouts.

If your child had a physical completed last school year, it would carry over as long as it has not expired based on the date of the physical.

Please remember: Students without a current physical on file will NOT be allowed to participate in open fields, tryouts, or practices. There are no exceptions.

We look forward to another great sports season!

Please text Mrs. Michael 618-322-5955 to sign up for baseball, softball and/or cross-country!!
