• Listed below is some information to assist you in registering your gymnast.
     
     
    When communicating with your student athletes be sure to include:
     
    1. Parents/legal guardians must register student athletes on the rschool athletic website https://deerfield-ar.rschooltoday.com/
    NOTE:  This will not work on a cell phone - must use a computer.
     
    2.  A current athletic physical must be uploaded to rschool (NO PAPER) - Student/parents should check the date of the last exam to be sure the athletic physical is current. Athletic physicals are valid for 13 months from the date of the exam.  Be sure they are using the correct form - either of two forms listed below are acceptable.
    3.  Athletics is a separate entity from the Health Services/Nurses office.
