Students may participate in multiple sports :)

Fee: Free 

Eligibility: All 5th-8th grade students can participate. There are no try-outs and students do not need prior experience to participate. 

Academic Eligibility: Students must have and maintain C's or above in their classes to  participate.  If a student becomes academically ineligible (we will check Quarter 1 Report Card grades for initial eligibility), there is a process for rejoining the team once grades improve. Our goal is for all interested students to keep their grades up and benefit from playing sports!

How To Register: Complete the registration form at this link by Friday, October 30th. 

STEM Sportsmanship Policy: The STEM sports program is proud of our long history of sportsmanship, displayed by STEM student athletes, coaches, and fans. Whether at practice or a game/competition, STEM student athletes must show respect to their teammates, coaches, opponents, officials, etc. STEM fans are expected to show sportsmanship at games/competitions by cheering on all student athletes and remaining positive in spite of missed calls, losses, or other difficult situations. We are grateful for your support!

STEM Jersey If your student would like to play in basketball games, a black STEM jersey with a number is required.  Please order here by Tuesday, November 17th.

STEM students wear the same jersey for all STEM sports teams. Students can also wear it to school as uniform. The jersey is made from a dri-fit material. The cost is $25 payable by cash to Ms. Rose.

Please let me know if you have any questions. 

Go STEM!!
