Winter Athletic Registration Requirements
Winter Sports Online Athletic Registration Deadline: November 21st
1. Vaccinations - All students must be fully vaccinated to play a Winter Sport.
If you have been vaccinated and have not uploaded your vaccination status, or exemption status, you can do so at the CPS Vaccination Portal. Please be sure to upload this right away so that your upload can be reviewed and approved.
If you have not received any of the vaccination shots information for vaccinations can be found at the link below. Remember that being fully vaccinated is 14 days after your final dose. This means that for Pfizer or Moderna you get one shot, 14 days later you get a second shot and 14 days later you are now fully vaccinated. If receiving the Johnson and Johnson - one shot vaccination - it is 14 days after the single shot that you are considered fully vaccinated. More details >>
