If your student is still interested in participating in any of these sports, they MUST have a sports physical on file with the school in order to register. Once the physical is complete, please email the 1st page to me or bring a copy of it to Ellis Middle School. You will not be able to see the sports offered until I have the sports physical entered into the system.

Sports Physical Form

Registration is done through Parent Portal – under the School Store tab. Please note, high school practices began on August 14th (Girls Tennis, Girls Swimming and Diving), but you can still register for them. The LAST DAY to register for an Ellis FALL sport is Friday, Sept. 1. Winter and spring sports registration will open at a later time. One important thing to note is that I do grade checks every Thursday for athletes during their season. If they have 2 or more F’s, they are out competitions from Friday to the following Thursday. We stress being a student athlete here at Ellis Middle School.

Please make sure you fill out the free/reduced lunch form as it does affect the cost of your child’s sports.  This form can be found on the district webpage or simply click on the following link:  https://www.austin.k12.mn.us/district-offices/food-and-nutrition/free-and-reduced-price-lunch-forms. 

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at kelly.lang@austin.k12.mn.us.

Thank you,
Kelly Lang
