Happy Veterans Day!
In regards to PIAA paperwork for WINTER ATHLETES-
Parents of fall athletes:
In the Healthy Roster app, under the “documents” tab, please complete the form titled “CIPPE Section 7 Recertification”. You will find this in the drop down tab after selecting the “+” in the top right corner. You do NOT need to enter insurance info.
Parents of winter athletes:
If you have not already received access to Healthy Roster, please email Alexcis at aconingsby@scasd.us with your child’s NAME, DOB, GRADE and the sport they are playing. I need this email in order to add you as a parent on their profile. I will then send you a link and code (via Healthy Roster domain) that will give you access. Once connected, there are 6 forms that will need to be completed in order for your child to start practicing. Section 6 is the PIAA physical, that must be completed by a doctor or PA. If your child received a yearly physical after May 1, 2024, contact their PCP and ask for a copy to be faxed to the school (570-356-2835). Convenient Care also allows walk-ins for sports physicals. They do not need to be on the PIAA form, as long as somewhere on the physical it states that the child is cleared to participate in sports.
Any questions, you can email Alexcis (aconingsby@scasd.us) or message her via Healthy Roster.

Mr. Mensch's 9th Grade Honors English students took a break from reading Fahrenheit 451 to serve as listening buddies in some 3rd and 4th Grade classrooms yesterday morning. This experience is part of an MTSS initiative in the elementary school. The younger students are working on skills such as word reading, fluency, and comprehension. The best way to accomplish these goals is to read aloud as much as possible to anyone who is willing to patiently listen. The 3rd and 4th Graders found some Freshmen who were all ears! 📖
Dr. Cindy Reck recently treated 7th Grade Science students to a fun lesson on food chemistry! Students learned about emulsions by making and tasting their own vinaigrette dressing!
