ATHLETIC REGISTRATION

All athletic registration forms need to be turned in between 9:00—12:00 and 1:00—3:00 p.m. on Monday, August 13 or Wednesday, August 15. Before turning out for volleyball, you must purchase an ASB Card ($30.00), clear all fines, and complete a physical, registration form and emergency card. Forms are available in the Main Office, Student Services Office and Athletic Office.

If you turned in a physical form at Kentlake last year, (dated after June 1, 2011, so once every two years), you do not need a new physical. Incoming 9th graders must have a school physical for High School Sports completed after June 1, 2012. Physicals from middle schools do NOT carry over.

ALL student athletes will need to turn in the athletic registration form and the emergency card at registration. If you are out of town on these two athletic registration days, you may have someone else register for you. Be sure to send a check for the ASB card ($30.00) OR pay online prior to the registration day, along with the athletic registration forms.

Volleyball tryouts will begin on Monday, August 20 (5pm to 7pm) and will continue on Tuesday, August 21st (9am to noon). Athletes who do not turn in all forms on August 13 or 15 will not be eligible to practice on the first day. The Athletic Participation Fee ($100, $50 if you receive reduced lunch) must be paid BY Monday, August 27 for ALL athletes (volleyball is a "cut" sport so the fee is not required until after the teams are announced). You may pay online with a credit card or at the Cashier’s Office with cash or check. The online payment option is available starting August 9.

Directions for online payments:

• Go to https://www1.kent.k12.wa.us/schoolpayment/
• Enter the student ID number, birthdate and home phone number for EACH student you plan to purchase fees/items for.
• Make sure “All Categories” is selected in the drop down box under the school name.

Thompson Named to US Olympic Team

Former Kentlake star Courtney Thompson was nominated today to the US Olympic Team for the 2012 Summer Olympics in London. The team must still be approved by the US Olympic Committee, but that is a formality. She will join Lindsey Berg in the setting duties. Thompson was instrumental in helping the US National Team to the World Grand Prix title this last weekend as they finished undefeated over the four week tournament. The US Olympic Team will train in Anaheim until they depart for London. Their first match is July 28th. Thompson led Kentlake to three straight State Championships from 2000 to 2002, dropping only one match in the three years.

Courtney Thompson's Olympic Dream on the Line

Jack Hamann has a good article on former Kentlake star Courtney Thompson's final push to make the US Olympic Team for the 2012 London Olympics. You can read the article at http://volleyblogseattle.blogspot.com/2012/06/courtney-thompsons-olympic-volleyball.html

Online Camp Payment

Using the KSD online payment system for camp is a little complicated.

To Pay On Line with a credit card you have to add Multiple units. So if you are paying $250 you have to add 10 at $25 OR if you are paying for two days to get to $150 you have to pay 6 at $25. The ONLINE system will ONLY work until June 20th – the last day of school. KSD will shut down the on line system after that. The Volleyball camp is the last item in the list. A quick way to find it is to filter for “Activities” in the box on the left side of the middle blue bar above the line items. People can still pay by check if they want – turned into the KL Cashier. The only way to pay with a credit card is the on line system (cashier accepts checks only).

Here is the link to log in – need student number, home phone and birth date to login.
