Please ensure the following items are completed prior to the first practice next Monday, August 12th: Sports Physical: All students who are going to participate in a sporting event must have a sports physical dated after May 1, 2024, on file at the school. ImPACT Concussion Test: Pleasanton Public Schools requires all students participating in sports to complete the ImPACT baseline concussion test. An email with an ImPACT code to complete the baseline test was sent to all 7th-12th grade students, and the email was sent to the student's school email address. If you did not receive a code, please reach out to Mr. Loomis. NSAA Consent Form: Any student going out for an NSAA activity must have an NSAA consent form filled out and submitted to the front office. The consent form can be found on the school webpage by clicking on the parent forms link. Once you have completed the ImPACT test, please email Mr. Loomis at cloomis@pleasantonbulldogs.org with your first and last name to let him know. Students who are missing any one of the three requirements will not be permitted to practice until they complete it. If you have any questions, please email Mr. Loomis. Looking forward to the upcoming activity school year!
