01How to withdraw

Withdrawals must be requested in writing to the athletic director or the school office — email staytonathleticdepartment@gmail.com or call 503-769-2198. Telling a coach is not a withdrawal. The withdrawal date is the date the office receives the request.

02When to notify the school

Please notify the athletics office as soon as you know an athlete will not participate.

Prompt notice helps coaches maintain accurate rosters and offer open places to other eligible students.

03Season-ending injury or illness

If an athlete cannot continue because of injury or illness, notify the coach and athletics office. Medical clearance may be required before returning to play.

04Programs cancelled by the school

If a program is cancelled because of low participation, staffing, or a district decision, the athletics office will contact registered families about available options.

05Removal for conduct or eligibility

An athlete may be removed for conduct violations, academic ineligibility, or failure to complete required paperwork or a physical.

06Incomplete registrations

A registration is not ready for participation until required acknowledgements are accepted and the athlete's paperwork and physical requirements are complete.

07Returning later

A withdrawn athlete may register again while registration remains open and roster space is available, subject to eligibility and paperwork requirements.
