ATTENTION ALL USHS/USMS WINTER SPORTS ATHLETES AND PARENTS
Don't look now but winter sports season is right around the corner! In order to make sure you are ready to go for another exciting season, the USHS Athletic Department would like to provide a few important reminders of what you will need to have done before you can start participating in winter sports. So, please take a few minutes to review these reminders and check your status.
PARENTS - Please make sure you have signed your child(ren) up in Final Forms for the winter sport they plan on playing. Only parents can log in and sign your child up for a winter sport so please make sure you are checking that status. If your child decides not to participate in a winter sport, please make sure you remove them from that sport in Final Forms. Coaches use these lists to formulate their rosters and begin communicating with their student-athletes so we need them as accurate as possible.
PARENTS AND STUDENTS - Please make sure you have a valid physical on file in the USHS/USMS office. Physicals are good for 13 months and can be done at a variety of medical facilities. You CANNOT begin to participate in any winter sport until you have a valid physical on file. If you have questions about your physical status, please contact the USHS Athletic Department.
PARENTS AND STUDENTS - Please make sure you have completed ALL the required forms in Final Forms. These forms include Emergency Medical information, Athlete/Parent Code of Conduct, and Winter Sport Parent Meeting Information, among others. All of these must be completed before your child can begin participating in their winter sport.
STUDENTS - Please make sure you are in good academic standing in order to be eligible to participate. The end of the first quarter is quickly approaching and your grades must meet the district requirements in order to be eligible to participate in the winter sports season. Remember, you are students first, athletes second.
PARENTS AND STUDENTS - Please make sure you are in communication with your child(ren)'s winter sport coach(es) for important, team specific updates. These updates might include, team meetings, information, and schedules so please make sure you have made contact with your coach(es).
Hopefully these reminders will help you avoid confusion and delay as we gear up for the winter sports season. If you have any questions or concerns with any of these reminders or need assistance in any way, please do not hesitate to reach out to your school's athletic department. We are happy to help. Thank you for your continued support and participation in athletics at USHS/USMS. We appreciate your dedication and are committed to helping make this a memorable experience for you.

USHS ATHLETIC SHOUT OUTS
The USHS Athletic Department would like to send some special SHOUT OUTS to some pretty awesome student athletes on some pretty awesome accomplishments this past week.
First, a CONGRATULATIONS SHOUT OUT goes out to Senior Lady Rams soccer player Shiloh S. who with last week's three goal performance, broke the school record for most points in a season with 53. This record was previously held by Kate Schilling since 2005. Another record broken for Shiloh and the Lady Rams soccer team! Ram Nation is extremely proud of Shiloh's accomplishment but even more proud of how she represents our school and community off the pitch.
Next, a CONGRATULATIONS SHOUT OUT goes out to members of the USHS Varsity Boys Cross Country team who finished in third place in the 22 team field at this past weekend's Marion Harding Invitational. The Rams were paced by Juniors Carter Pohlman who was 7th overall in the 194 person field with a time of 16:27. Fellow Junior Franklin Arnold was 9th overall (16:38) and Senior Henry Minehart also turned in a top 25 finish with a 23rd place finish (17:10). The Lady Rams were 9th overall in the 20 team field with Senior Jocelyn Leightey leading the charge in 6th place (19:48) and Sophomore Madison Miles who was 11th (20:18). Another great day at the office for our Runnin' Rams. Ram Nation is still extremely proud of these performances but even more proud of how these teams represent our school and community off the course.
Some great stuff continuing to go on with our fall sports teams and athletes so make sure you are catching them in action before it's too late.

Dear Parents:
At 1:20pm today we went on a short instructional lock down . There was a suspicious vehicle in the parking lot. The lock down only lasted 4 minutes. The 4 minutes gave us enough time to investigate. Our students' and staff safety is our top priority. At no time was anyone in danger, we were just being cautious.
Please reach out if you have any questions or concerns.
Sincerely,
Patty Parrott, Tim Watson, and Bert Dible
