Basketball Tryouts and Registration
Registration for the upcoming middle school athletics winter season (boys’ and girls’ basketball) will be submitted through the ParentVue Portal, opening on October 31, 2022. Students should complete their pre-participation physical (MCPS Form SR-8) so that the medical eligibility form (last page of SR-8) is ready for online submission via the ParentVue Portal or for email submission to the local school athletic coordinator, prior to tryouts/practices. This form is valid for two years from the date of the exam and covers participation for all sports within that time period. This form must be completed and/or on file before a student-athlete can participate. All Winter sports tryouts/practices begin December 6, 2022

1. Student Featured in Local Production
We're excited that one of our own students, Lucy, is playing Clara in the @Rockville Civic Ballet Nutcracker this weekend and next. She took the Nutcracker on a tour of our school as part of #ClarasMagicalJourney to show our some of the neat places in our school including the ice castle for our upcoming show Frozen Jr. on Dec. 15-16. She spent some time in our shop classroom to fix her beloved Nutcracker after her brother broke him!
