Athletics at Eckstein Middle School

Athletic Registration

Eckstein Middle School is using FinalForms for all athletic forms and many extracurricular activity forms. You only need to create an account for your student once. This account will be available to your student for the remainder of their educational career with SPS. Learn more about FinalForms.

A parent must create their FinalForms account first before your student is able to create their account. We ask ALL parents/guardians of athletes to use FinalForms.

Already have an account? Log in to FinalForms:

In order to participate in Eckstein sports, FinalForms must be completed before tryouts.

Physicals

All students need a doctor-signed physical uploaded to FinalForms before they can participate in sports.

Physicals are valid for two years from the exam date. Check with Derek Grandbois at djgrandbois@seattleschools.org to see if your student has a current physical on file at Eckstein. Both Roosevelt and Nathan Hale High schools have a Teen Health Clinic that can provide sports physicals for our students.

Download a Athletic Physical to give to your student’s physician.


Weekly Grade Reports

Eckstein has decided to not require that grade check reports be turned in, though some coaches may still require it for specific teams. Administration will perform the grade checks via internal reports instead of requiring this step to take place.

Students are expected to maintain a 2.0 GPA with no more than 1 failing grade in order to be eligible to play in the game each week.

Please email the Athletic Coordinator for more information at djgrandbois@seattleschools.org
