FREE SPORTS PHYSICALS On Tuesday, May 29th, Gray Stone is hosting a FREE SPORTS PHYSICAL night beginning at 5:30pm.  All students are encouraged to attend this event to get a physical that will be valid for all of next year.  A physical is required to tryout for any sports team and physicals are valid for only 365 days.  That means if your physical runs out in the middle of the season, you will be ineligible until you get a new one.  By getting a physical on this date, you don't have to worry about when your physical expires.  You will be set for all of next year.  Physical forms can be found on this website or picked up in the office.
CHEERLEADING TRY-OUTS Clinic Days will be held at Gray Stone on May 29, May 30, and June 1 from 3:30 – 5:30pm in the Gym.  Cheers, chants, dances, etc. will be taught on those days.  It is suggested that prospective cheerleaders attend all days, but it is not required. Tryouts will be held on Saturday, June 2nd from 10am – 12pm in the GS Gym.  Anyone interested in trying out must have a valid physical on file with the Athletic Trainer.  Physicals must be on the NCHSAA approved form that is attached.  No exceptions.  Physicals are valid for 365 days from the exam.  For cheerleading, physicals must be in by May 30. Free physicals are being offered at the school on May 29th beginning at 5:30pm.  The medical history portion of the physical must be completed prior to seeing the doctor that evening.  This is an ideal time to get your physical because it is FREE and it will be valid for the entire year next year. Any returning cheerleaders interested in becoming a team captain should contact the coach ASAP.
ADMISSIONS The application period for the 2012-2013 school year is closed. All additional applicants that apply at this time will be placed at the bottom of the posted waiting list. All Lottery information and results are posted under School News on this home page. |
