Athletics

Dear Athletic Parents / Guardians,

At Hedrick, our top priority is student learning, and we encourage our student-athletes to prioritize academics first and athletics second. As a reminder, athletes in secondary schools within the MSD must demonstrate academic progress to be eligible for participation in athletics.

Each Thursday / Friday, we issue grade check sheets to every athlete. Students must turn in their completed grade check sheets to their coach at practice on Monday.  Advisory teachers must initial the sheets confirming a student is passing.  If they are not passing a class, the respective teacher's signature is required.  

If a student is not passing a class, they will be placed on probation for one week to improve their grade. If the grade remains below passing after the week, the student will be excluded from contests during that period. Additionally, any student who does not turn in their grade check sheet will not be allowed to participate until it is submitted.

We appreciate your cooperation and support in upholding these academic requirements.

Sincerely,
Hedrick Middle School

Athletic Fees/Registration: $75.00 for football.  All other sports are $50. Athletes must pay for the first two sports they participate in, with a cap of $100 per student ($125 if playing football) per year. We do not refund sports fees after rosters are posted, unless approved by the athletic director. Registration (including all forms and physicals) must be done online to register for Hedrick sports.  Please use link provided to register here.

Schedules/Rosters:  Will be available on the website once all contests have been confirmed with competing schools.  Please note schedules are subject to change.  

Uniforms:  Hedrick provides student uniforms.  Please note that parents may be responsible for some items, such as shoes.  Any lost uniforms or uniforms not turned in will incur a fee that will be charged to your student's account.     

Practices:  All sports practice in rain or shine, unless it is unsafe do so.  Drop off and pick-up locations for all sports is the lower Jackson Street parking lot.  If there is smoke, please check smoke schedule before for any changes to the schedule.  

Smoke Schedule:  The health and safety of our students, staff, and community are at the center of our decision making.  We closely monitor the air quality during wildfire season.  If the air quality deteriorates, or the index becomes too high, we will send out communication by 3:00 pm when we need to run a different after school practice schedule.  The website we use to determine the air quality is Oregon DEQ Air Quality Monitoring.  We also use the OSAA Heat Index Calculator.  We continue to make updates by 3 pm if any adjustments are needed and the updated schedule is provided in the link below.  If you do not receive an update, then practices run normally.
