    Athletics give students learning opportunities that cannot be duplicated in a regular classroom. Not only is it fun to play a sport, but an athletic team instills a sense of pride and being part of something. Participation in athletics has also been shown to improve grades, increase test scores, promote school attendance, and develop higher self-confidence. 

    News and updates:

    All winter sports meeting in the gym October 2nd, 2024.  Please enter through the north doors of the building.  

     

     Dual-Enrollment

    Dual-enrollment athletes must register for their sport at the WRMS Office. Please bring 3 Proofs of Residency, a Copy of your Original Birth Certificate or Passport, an Immunization Record, a Sports Physical, and the most recent Grade Portfolio from your school. You will complete a dual enrollment form and a non-student transportation request in the office.  

    WRMS student-athlete academic standards:

    Daily attendance:

    Students must attend school for at least three periods of the day to participate in athletic practices, competitions, or other after-school activities. 

    Athletic Grade checks:

    We believe that our student-athletes are students first. 

                  Note: Policy change effective on Monday, October 11, 2021. 

    On THURSDAY of each week, the athletic director will run a grade check on current athletes. Coaches will be notified on Friday about student-athletes earning a grade below a C- in any class.

    The first time a student's grade falls below a C-, they will be placed on probation for the duration of the season.

    The second time a student receives a grade lower than a C-, they will not be eligible to participate in the next competition, and they will be unable to participate until their grades have improved to C—'s or above in all of their classes.

    Some students may require special consideration or individualized arrangements, and the Athletic Director may consider these considerations when making the final determination about an individual student’s eligibility.

    ImPACT testing

    Physicians recommend imPACT testing for all student-athletes.  Similar to sport physicals, ImPACT tests are good for two years from the date it was administered.

    This is not a mandatory test but is highly recommended for all student-athletes.

    Poor air quality protocol

    Occasionally, we encounter days with smoke in the air in the fall due to wildfires. This is our protocol for determining whether it is safe to practice outdoors.  

    Games:
    Yellow- (5-10 miles; 51-100 AQI) Proceed to watch any sensitive populations/asthmatics/other pre-existing conditions.
    Orange—(3-5 miles; 101-150 AQI) Proceed and monitor, in particular, any of the above athletes. Be overly sensitive that other athletes may have breathing issues.
    Red- (1.5-3 miles; 151-200 AQI) cancelled

    Practices:
    Yellow- (5-10 miles; 51-100 AQI) Proceed watch any sensitive populations/asthmatics/other pre-existing conditions
    Orange- (3-5 miles; 101-150 AQI) limit to moderate conditioning (no failure) and be mindful of any sensitive populations/asthmatics/other pre-existing conditions
    Red- (1.5-3 miles; 151-200 AQI) walkthrough only (may jog between or through drills to maintain pace with rests)/no conditioning/ no running
