Parents of 7th and 8th graders - I wanted to send a message out to you to let you know that fall middle school sports (Football, Volleyball, and Cross Country) start on the first day of school after school. Students should have athletic clothing and shoes/cleats on the first day of school for practice. Also - in order to practice or play each student must have 2 documents up to date - 1) Each year you have to sign a concussion information sheet 2) A valid sports physical - Physicals are valid for 12 months + 30 days. Both forms can be found online here: https://www.algona.k12.ia.us/page/athletics-and-activities or picked up in any of our offices at the HS/MS campus. If you have any questions - please let me know - Go Bulldogs!! ~ Andy Jacobson, Activities Director View PDF- https://5il.co/21eod
