Registering your student for a sport:
All athletes should be registered before the first day of practice.
The steps need to be done in this order.
- Students in grades 7–12 who participate in athletics must have a current sports physical on file. Physical Exams must be completed within the past three years by a Physician, Nurse Practitioner or a Physician Assistant. The Minnesota State High School League Sports Qualifying Physical Examination Clearance Form (Spanish | Somali) must also be completed every three years. For more information on MSHSL physical examination requirements, visit our website or contact the nurse at your child’s school.
- Bring the completed sports physical to the main office at SHMS. You can also fax the physical to the main office at 952-423-7601.
- Log into EduTrack Connect to register for the sport.
- Pay using your credit card. Participation for each sport is $110. If you qualify for Free or Reduced Lunch, the system won’t charge you the $110.
