If your 4th or 5th grade student is interested in participating in an official DCIAA sport(s) this year— 
- Fall: Cross Country
- Winter: Basketball
- Spring: Track & Field
—you will need to complete the 2025–26 DCPS Student‑Athlete Participation Packet.
👉 Click here to access the packet
Important details:
- The packet only needs to be completed once per school year.
- Clearance is valid for the entire year (or until the health form expires).
- Submit forms as early as possible, ideally before school starts, since the clearance process can take time.
💡 Tip: Make sure to submit the packet with an unexpired Universal Health Certificate to avoid delays.
