How do I get CLEARED to participate?

Students cannot just show up to practice - there are requirements to be "cleared" to participate:

Final Forms Sports Clearance Process

Students and parents must complete the sports clearance process through Final Forms.  This system is wonderful, easy to use and means NO MORE STANDING IN CLEARANCE LINES! In early August, every enrolled PSD family received an email from PSD inviting them to complete this process.  As part of this program, students will need to access, read, and complete the forms available in an email sent by Final Forms to their PSD Student Outlook account.  While the easiest way to access this email is through a PSD student-issued laptop, this may be difficult for 7th graders and 10th graders who do not yet have their laptops. If you need to complete this process without a PSD device, please consider using one of the following methods:

Students can sign into their school Outlook account in two ways:

Option 1: Through Clever Account

1.     Visit Clever Puyallup SD.

2.     Log in using the student email address:       firstname.lastname@students.puyallupsd.org

3.     Enter the password used to sign into the PSD computer.

4.     In Clever, access Microsoft 365 Office.

5.     Sign into Office, open the Outlook application, and find the email from Final     Forms. 

 Option 2: Through Microsoft 365

1.     Go to Microsoft 365 Sign In.

2.     Log in using the student email address:   firstname.lastname@students.puyallupsd.org

3.     Enter the password used to sign into the PSD computer.

4.     Click on the Outlook icon.

Once in the student account, there will be an email from Final Forms that guides them to the student pages they need to complete. If the student email is missing, please complete the parent signatures on Final Forms to enable student access. If the parent has completed the process and your student still does not receive an email from Final Forms, please contact your athletic director.

Payment Information

Every athlete must buy an ASB card and pay the sports fee for each season through Intouch. Visit https://wa-puyallup.intouchreceipting.com/to make payments.  Cash and check payments may be made through the office at jr. highs and bookkeepers at the high schools.

• Purchase a Glacier View Junior High School ASB card ($30).
• Pay the PSD Athletic Fee, this is a per sport fee ($50). If you are trying out for a team that makes cuts (basketball, soccer, volleyball) you should pay the fees after you make the team, not before. 

Once you and your student have completed the online forms, you have uploaded the current athletic physical and it has been reviewed/accepted by the athletic director, all your items will turn "green" and say Eligible on the main Final Forms page. 

You are no longer required to turn in a copy of your physical to the athletic director if it has been uploaded and you do not need to be "cleared" at the school!   If you would like to double check that your athlete has been fully cleared, please send an email to belleral@puyallupsd.org . 

 

 

What about the concussion screening?

A Baseline Concussion Screening (BCS) is required for students participating in basketball, football, soccer, volleyball, or wrestling. Starting in August 2024 the BCS will no longer be required prior to the season for students to tryout for a team. Once teams are determined the BSC will be conducted during the season. 

Are cuts made in GV sports?

Cuts are made in some sports when there are more students turning out for a sport than there are roster spots (volleyball, basketball, soccer). If cuts are made, there is a tryout process. Some athletic teams do not have cuts (football, cross country, wrestling, track and field). 

What about practices?

Practices in all sports are typically right after school each weekday, and last about 90 - 100 minutes. Saturday practices may be necessary at the start of the season to meet minimum practice requirements in some sports. Most days there is an activity bus to take students home. 

GRADES MATTER!

Your athletic eligibility will depend on the grades from Interim Progress Reports (IPR) during the season. After the first semester in 7th grade, your eligibility is also based on grades from the previous semester. Grades determine your participation.
