Middle School Activities

Middle school students may participate in interscholastic and intramural athletics and a variety of academic and recreational activities. Students who would like to participate in interscholastic and intramural sports must:

• Be enrolled as a full-time student in the Anchorage School District (4 or more classes)
• Have an Activity Participation form signed by a parent/guardian for each sport
• Have a current sports physical on file with the school; this exam is good for one year from date of issue

2008-09 Fees

In addition, students who participate in interscholastic sports must pay an $80.00 participation fee per sport, be eligible for a sports fee waiver, or meet the $330 family cap for middle school and high school sports fees.

In order to practice or play in a game, a student must be in attendance at school a minimum of one-half day, except for extenuating circumstances (such as a school field trip) approved by an administrator.
