Welcome to Andale Middle School Activities & Athletics

Andale Middle School’s activities and athletics program offers numerous benefits to students, fostering a sense of belonging and pride within the school community. Successful activities and athletics enhance school spirit among students, staff, and families. Participants in school sports are more likely to maintain an active lifestyle into adulthood and develop a lifelong passion for physical activity. Fine arts activities, including choir, band, and theater, develop a wide range of skills, including creativity, fine motor skills, problem-solving, and self-expression.

Information

  • Both Athletic & Extra-Curricular Activities

  • Before a student athlete is permitted to report for practice in a sport, he/she must have a physical examination documented by a completed form furnished by the school. The form requires the student to gain permission of a parent or guardian. Physicals must be completed after May 1st to be valid for the upcoming school year. 

  • EXTRA CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES ELIGIBILITY (7-8 GRADES)

    • You, as an individual involved in an activity offered at our school, are recognized as an official representative of the school and its community. Your conduct and sportsmanship on and off the school premises should display the highest possible standards.

    • Students must be in attendance for at least ½ of the school day in order to be eligible for extracurricular activities.

    • Students earning a 64% or below are ineligible for one week (Monday-Sunday).

    • If the principal or teacher feels a child can not represent our school in a positive manner, he/she will be marked ineligible. This section would be marked if a child chooses to have inappropriate behavior resulting in detentions, in-school suspension, or out of school suspension.

  • Athletic Participate Fee Guidelines
    Renwick students will be charged a $25.00 fee per sport to participate in athletics in grades 7-8 to help offset athletic costs to the district. Athletics will include: Volleyball, Basketball, and Track.
    Students are encouraged to pay the $25.00 fee before the season starts. The fee must be paid to the school office by the first contest or the student will be dismissed from the team. Students will be refunded the fee if they are cut, dismissed, or quit participation in the team prior to
    the first contest. Families who receive free or reduced meals, will pay a pro-rated fee.

  • Engaging in outdoor athletics in high heat can be challenging and potentially dangerous. Here are some important tips to ensure safety:

    • Drink Water Regularly: Drink water before, during, and after physical activity. Aim to drink at least 8 ounces of water every 20 minutes during exercise.
    • Electrolyte Balance: Consider sports drinks that contain electrolytes to replace sodium, potassium, and other minerals lost through sweat.
    • Light-Colored Clothing: Wear light-colored, loose-fitting, and lightweight clothing to reflect the sun’s rays.
    • Moisture-Wicking Fabrics: Choose clothing made from moisture-wicking materials to help keep your body cool and dry.
    • Sunscreen: Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 to all exposed skin, and reapply every two hours or more frequently if sweating.
    • Intensity: Lower the intensity of your workout or take more frequent breaks to avoid overheating.
    • Cold Packs: Use cold packs or wet towels on your neck, wrists, and forehead to cool down quickly after exercise.
    • Cool Showers: Take a cool shower or bath to help lower your body temperature.

    Know the Signs of Heat-Related Illnesses

    • Heat Cramps: Muscle cramps, often in the legs or abdomen.
    • Heat Exhaustion: Heavy sweating, weakness, cold, pale and clammy skin, fast or weak pulse, nausea or vomiting, and fainting.
    • Heat Stroke: High body temperature (above 103°F), hot, red, dry or moist skin, rapid and strong pulse, possible unconsciousness. Heat stroke is a medical emergency and requires immediate attention.
    • Rest When Needed: If you feel dizzy, weak, or excessively tired, stop exercising and rest in a cool place.
    • Seek Medical Help: If you experience symptoms of heat stroke, seek medical help immediately.

    By following these precautions, you can minimize the risks associated with exercising in high heat and enjoy your outdoor activities safely.
