12-21-20 - Triple A Award Nominees

Congratulations to our Triple A Award nominees, Sydney Hunst and Lane Versteeg.  Details are below.

With the recent decision by Governor Walz to allow winter activities to begin on Monday January 4th, a local decision by the school district has approved Owatonna High School to begin all in-person practices, try-outs, and/or team sessions beginning on Monday January 4th.  All students must be registered before they can participate in any activities.

If you have not already registered for winter activities and are in need of assistance, please contact the activities office.  It is important that you register by 4:00 pm on Dec. 29 as our office will be closed Dec. 24-27 and Dec. 30-Jan. 3.  A reminder that sports physicals are required every 3 years.  If the system does not let you register it is likely because you do not have a valid physical on file, therefore, can not register for activities until this is completed and returned to our office via email.  Registration is currently open for all winter activities at https://owatonna2063a.cf.affinetysolutions.com/.  Directions on how to create an account and register are located on this site as well.  Please contact the activities office at nbenson@isd761.org if you have any questions and to return your sports physical.

Please watch for a separate email from OMS next Wednesday regarding Kids First basketball and wrestling.

IMPORTANT FALL UPDATE - FALL ACTIVITIES RESUME

The Minnesota State High School League has reinstated football and volleyball for the fall season.  Practice will begin Monday, Sept. 28 for both activities.  Those interested in participating must register for the activity by Friday, Sept. 25, as registration and payment is required before attending the first season practice on Sept. 28.  For those that registered for the “Volleyball Practice” and “Football Practice” fall practice seasons, please make sure you go back into your account and register again for “Volleyball” or “Football” as registering for the practice activity that started this month will not allow you to participate in the regular season.  If you are currently registered for another fall sport, you are eligible to participate in volleyball or football but please contact the activity office prior to registering.

The Middle School/Kids First activities will follow the below timelines with the High School.  

REGISTRATION - Registration for fall activities will begin August 3 with a new registration format called Affinety as we are no longer using Fee Pay.  The link to register can be found here.  Instructions on how to create a parent user account login AND how to register your child for an activity are included on the site and also in the tab above titled Handbook & Forms.

SPORTS PHYSICALS - Free sports physicals will be offered at the Owatonna Clinic but APPOINTMENTS ARE REQUIRED.  Due to social distancing, no walk ins will be allowed.  The dates for the physicals will be August 3-6, 5:30-8:00 at the Owatonna Clinic and they are 15 minute time slots.  All details are on Sign Up Genius.  Please read through the instructions on Sign Up Genius carefully.  The link to sign up for a time slot can be found here.

Remember that sports physicals need to be updated every 3 years and students cannot register for an activity unless the physical is current for the entire sport/activity season.  Please note that well child physicals do NOT clear your child for sports so be sure to ask for a 2020-2021 SPORTS physical. 

There are several places in Owatonna that will do sports physicals.  The ones that we are aware of are Compcare, Cedar Chiropractic, Bridges Chiropractic Health Clinic (formerly Bridge Street Chiropractic) and Balanced Healthcare (formerly McGregor Chiropractic).  These are options in addition to the Owatonna Clinic.

REGISTER FOR  ACTIVITIES HERE  Please use your child's 7 digit student ID number to assist with creating an account, not the 4 digit person ID number.  You can find the student ID number in your Infinite Campus portal.  

Our new registration system is now with Affinety, no longer Fee Pay.  Instructions on how to create a parent user account login and how to register your child for an activity are included on the site and also in the tab above titled Handbook & Forms.
