Important Information – Free Sports Physicals
Due to a large number of students attending free sports physicals today, we want to keep all parents informed.
We are working to ensure that all students are safely transported to GHS, complete their physicals, and return to GMS by 3:30 PM. However, if physicals run past 3:30 PM, we kindly ask for your patience.
Please note: For safety reasons, students will not be released to parents, guardians, or siblings at Georgetown High School. All students will be transported back to GMS, where they can be picked up.
Thank you for your understanding and support as we work to ensure the safety of all students.

Attention Bulldog Family,
Please send this link to your players' parents for them to make new profiles for the physicals. BigTeams has merged with Arbiter, so all families must make new profiles. The best thing about this one is that it's just one profile per family. They won't have to make separate profiles for each kid! If you'd like, you can send this message out to your people:
Parents! It's physical time. This is a reminder that we will have free physical day next Thursday. Please have the history page filled out when your son/daughter comes to the gym. If your son/daughter wears glasses, please make sure he/she has them during the exam.
Below is the link where you'll need to register and attach a picture of your physical. BigTeams has merged with Arbiter, so every family will need to make a new profile. Please have this completed before getting the physical as well.
https://students.arbitersports.com/georgetown-high-school
I've posted this to some of the SportsYou pages. I'm getting added to the rest in order to post to them as well. If you could post to any social media you may have will help as well. Winter and spring coaches - yall know how daunting of a task it was this past year to get everything loaded into BigTeams. Whatever you can do to get this process done early will help immensely.
Thank you for all you do to pour into our athletes!
