Cheer Club Information

Athletic permission forms and physicals must be submitted prior to the start of the season. We understand that it can be very difficult to schedule physicals, so if you want to submit paperwork now for later sports, our Athletic Liaison, Donna Sullivan, will accept and file it for the future. Additionally, each fall, WPHS hosts a Physical Clinic.

Physicals are not required to participate in Forensics. Note: Chiropractors who are certified to complete school sports physicals and whose certificate is on file with CHSAA are accepted; however, the athletic department may require extra time to verify with CHSAA. This form does not have to be used; you may use a form that your doctor provides)

If your child receives free or reduced lunch, please check with the office staff to see if that includes athletics and activities.
