Participating in middle school sports and activities
Concussion information
Alaska law requires school districts to have a program for the prevention and management of concussions in student athletes. See the documents below for an overview of ASD's program, concussion information, required forms and more.
Fees
A $100 activity fee per ASD-sponsored sport is required unless:
- a student applies for and receives a fee waiver based on hardship through the school activity office
- or a family meets the $390 cap* for middle or high school activity fees.
*A family cap will be implemented once the students in a family have paid $390 to participate in activities including any combination of middle and high school activities.
A $5 concussion baseline fee is required (no waivers).
Online payment
Online payment of fees is available at some schools through the Zangle student information system. Online payments for activities are being activated on a school-by-school basis during implementation of this feature. Contact your school with questions regarding payment.
