Hello Families, 

We hope you are enjoying the warmer weather! Modified Sports are just around the corner. Many of you already completed paperwork on Final Forms for your students, thank you! If you did not complete the paperwork yet, please see the instructions below on how to do so.

• The modified track season will begin on April 1, with practice starting at 2:30.
• The modified baseball and softball seasons will begin on April 9. Coaches will be in contact with practice information at a later date.

Students will need a current physical, defined as a physical given within one year in order to participate.

We are very excited to announce Southern Cayuga partnered with FinalForms, which will replace our current Google Forms paperwork. FinalForms allows you to complete and sign athletic participation forms for your students. The most exciting news is that FinalForms saves data from season-to-season and year-to-year, meaning that you will never need to enter the same information twice!
FinalForms also pre-populates information wherever possible, for each of your students, saving you time.

You may review your data at any time to verify it is current. You will only need to make updates and resign forms prior to each season, per NYS regulations, instead of completing all forms from the beginning. If you do not have an account for your child on Final Forms yet, click on the Parent Playbook (attached) to get started in FinalForms. If you require any support during the process, scroll to the bottom-right of the page and click “Get Help”.
If you already created an account for your student, you do NOT need to create another account. You only need to:
1. Login to your account.
2. Select the sport your student would like to participate in during the spring season.
3. Update/sign any forms in red. Any form in green is all set. 

We are asking ALL parents of athletes use FinalForms.
Please register/complete forms at: https://southerncayuga-ny.finalforms.com/ and follow the prompts to create your account, create your students, and sign your forms.

Game schedules can be found on our Schedule Manager, Aktivate. The schedules are still being finalized and updated, but any updates or changes will be put on Aktivate. 

Please let me know if you have any questions.

In Partnership,

Hello Families,

We are less than a week away from the start of spring sports! Coaches are in the process of contacting families of students who signed up regarding practice times and locations. 

Just as a reminder, your child will need a current physical and paperwork filled out prior to the first day of practice. Thank you to those of you who already filled out paperwork and turned in physicals, it is greatly appreciated. If you did not fill out your students paperwork yet, please log into Final Forms and complete paperwork by Friday, March 8 in order to ensure your student is ready for the first day of practice. 

Below are instructions for how to sign your child up via Final Forms:

Hello Families,

We are very excited to have your student take part in the athletics program at SCCS and cannot wait to see all they will accomplish this spring!
Fall varsity sports will begin on Monday, August 21. Modified sports will begin on Wednesday, August 23. 

We will hold a fall parent/athlete information session on Wednesday, August 9, at 6:00 pm in the Auditorium. We will go over general information with all families at this meeting. Coaches will then meet with their individual teams after to go over team expectations and practice schedules. 

Students will need a current physical, defined as a physical given within one year in order to participate. Summer is a great time to get an updated physical if your child did not have one within the past year. We will be offering a limited number of physicals through the school on August 9 and August 17. If you would like to sign your child up for a physical through the school, please email our school nurse, Anne Reynolds, at ReynoldsAnne@SouthernCayuga.org. 

Your child will also need paperwork on file before they are able to begin practicing. The paperwork will be emailed towards the beginning of August. The paperwork must be filled out within a certain time of the first practice, and we are currently too far outside the window to begin collecting paperwork. 

Game schedules can be found on our Schedule Manager, Aktivate. The schedules are still being finalized and updated, but any updates or changes will be put on Aktivate. 
Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you,
Caitlin Wasielewski
