ES & MS Track Announcement
Oyster-Adams elementary (4th & 5th grade) and middle school (6th - 8th grade) track will start in March. Practices will be twice weekly after school until 5:00 (days TBD). Please let me know if your student wants to sign up by e-mailing me: Stuart Logan [[email protected]].
We do not have enough coaches yet so also let me know if you are interested in coaching.
**Mandatory Health Forms**
If your student did not participate in a sport yet this school year, or if they did but their Universal Health Certificate (UHC) has expired, please submit the required forms so that your student will be ready for the first practice. The Portal for submitting forms is: www.thedciaa.com / athletes / participation forms.
If you have not previously submitted forms please read the information below. Before you hit “submit” please make a pdf of all forms in case they are rejected.
Unfortunately, DCIAA has made it harder to get forms approved.
Most common reasons why the DCIAA rejects health forms:
AT-13 Form: Consent for Athletic Participation
This is the first form in the 3-form Participation Packet.
- “Residence”- You must include Washington DC and zip code.
AT-14 Form: Student-Athlete Data & Emergency Treatment Information
This is the second form in the Participation Packet.
- “Emergency Contact”: 2 emergency contacts must be provided (parent is ok) with a different phone number and e-mail for each.
- Must include all health insurance information.
Concussion & Sudden Cardiac Arrest Info & Consent Form
- Leave nothing blank
Universal Health Certificate (UHC) Page 1, Part 1
- Complete everything, including "School or child care facility.”
- Check a box each for "Ethnicity" and “Race”. You can answer one w/ something besides Prefer Not to Answer and answer the other w/ Prefer Not to Answer, you can do both w/o choosing Prefer Not to Answer, you can choose Prefer Not to Answer for both. But you can’t leave one of the two questions blank.
- Provide emergency contact & health insurance info (even though you already did for the Emergency Contact form
- Sign and date
Universal Health Certificate (UHC) Page 1, Part 2
- doctor's office must provide all info
Universal Health Certificate (UHC) Page 2, Part 3
- ***** Fill in the first blanks at the top of the page with a pen: "Child's Last Name," "Child's First Name," and "Date of Birth."
- The doctor's office often does not complete this form. If it is blank, please complete it yourself before uploading the form. This applies even if DCIAA approved the UHC last year (and it is still valid).
Universal Health Certificate (UHC) Page 2, Part 4
- The doctor (or NP or DO) must check “yes” for “This child is cleared to play competitive sports.”
- The doctors or nurses themselves (not office staff) must sign, print and date the UHC, i.e. “Provider Name”, “Provider Phone”, “Provider Signature”. A staff member cannot “sign for” a doctor or nurse practitioner.
- UHC must have the stamp of the Provider's Office.
- Only an MD, DO, or NP will be accepted as the examiner.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
