EGUSD Athletic COVID-19 Waiver
Elk Grove Unified School District (“EGUSD”) is complying with guidance and taking reasonable steps to mitigate the risk of spreading COVID-19. However, this risk cannot be completely eliminated and EGUSD cannot guarantee that you and/or, if applicable, your student(s)/child(ren) will not become infected with COVID-19. Further, participating in the EGUSD athletic program and related events and activities (“Athletic Program”) could increase your and/or, if applicable, your student(s)/child(ren)’s risk of contracting COVID-19. Consequently, for the safety of our staff, students, parents, and other visitors, EGUSD requires all persons participating in its activities during this pandemic to acknowledge an assumption of the risk, waive (i.e. release) liability, and agree to abide by our COVID-19 protocols.

General Information

If you have any questions regarding our athletics program, please feel free to drop an e-mail.

Also make sure you check out our school website for dates and links regarding our Coral Night, Back to School Night, and Open House where you will have the opportunity to meet your coaches (a majority are teachers here). During that time, there will be informational booths for the different sports offered here at EHMS and copies of the physical and permission slip forms for you to take home, to get completed by a physician, and then bring back to Mr. Corpuz in room MK-8 to be kept on file for the school year. Once your paperwork is on file, you are eligible to tryout for all the sports offered that season as long you have a 2.0 GPA that semester prior to the tryouts. In addition, all parents/guardians and those players who made the team, must attend a mandatory meeting with the Athletic Director and their coaches during the sport in season to discuss the school’s expectations of a scholar athlete.
