Dear Parents, Guardians and MS and HS Student-Athletes of the 2024-2025 seasons,

It is time to plan for the opportunities offered by the Pawling Central School District for the 2024-2025 sports seasons that are fast approaching.  With that in mind please take note of the information below that will help you to better take advantage of the upcoming programs in interscholastic athletics at Pawling High School and Pawling Middle School for students in grades 7 through 12..

 

1.)  2024-2025 PCSD Sports Start Dates: (M.S. grades 7, 8 and H.S. grades 9-12)

(Students DO NOT need workout gear for this meeting on September 6.)

The 2024-2025 sports seasons’ registrations will be processed through FAMILYID.COM Opens in a new browser tab . aka., Arbiters\Sports and remain open for 2 weeks and then close for the processing of medical forms and registrations.

3.)  Annual Required Health Exams (private physicals accepted*)

 

Parents should have plans to provide the school nurse with an updated private physical using a NYSED Health Exam Form Opens in a new browser tab in order for their child to participate in interscholastic athletics for the 2024-2025 school year.

 

Please remember to bring a copy of the updated Health Exam Form Opens in a new browser tab   for your pediatrician to complete.   All registration paperwork should be completed and submitted on FamilyID.com Opens in a new browser tab two weeks in advance of the first official team practice listed above in order for the school nurses to clear your student in time for participation in the first team practice.  This can all be done on the FamilyID.com Opens in a new browser tab website where the forms are available.  For those without internet access, appointments can and must be made with the athletic department for in-person sports registration by calling 845-855-4670 at least three weeks prior to the first official practices listed above! 

If the  PCSD offers school physicals, the dates and times will be posted on the Athletic Calendar but at this time there are no scheduled PCSD school physicals so parents should have alternate plans to provide a private physical at registration on FamilyID.

 

4.) The PCSD Athletic Calendar: https://pawlingschoolsnyus.tandem.co/ Opens in a new browser tab

(Football August 19)

Philosophy of Interscholastic Athletics

The interscholastic athletic program at Pawling Central Schools is an integral part of the educational program of the District.  The benefits of a comprehensive athletic program provide not only member athletes, but all students, staff, parents and community members’ opportunities for school/community interaction, the development of an involved, active citizenry, building school pride and increased interest and involvement in all school activities.

 The philosophy of the Pawling Central School District Athletic Department supports the development of students who are well rounded, productive and contributing members of our community and a democratic society in general. 

 The experiences gained through team competition in interscholastic athletics provide student/athletes learning opportunities that are complimentary to those learned in the classroom and yet are recognized as unique.  These equally important lessons provide completeness to the development of the individual and the entire learning community that cannot be attained in the classroom alone.  Students who choose to participate in interscholastic athletics are exposed to opportunities that further develop social, emotional and athletic skills.  Student-Athletes at the interscholastic level are taught to dismiss the concept of entitlement and learn the value of earned play time.  Furthermore, students develop a sense of team work, sportsmanship, self-discipline, dedication, hard work, and respect in addition to a lifestyle promoting physical health and wellness. 

 It is the goal of the Pawling Central School District Athletic Department to work in partnership with student-athletes, families, and the many community groups to experience quality, productive and enjoyable athletic opportunities.
