Dear Parents/Guardians:
The start of winter sports is just around the corner. JV and Varsity levels will begin on Monday, November 5 and Modified may start on Tuesday, November 13. We have two sports that are merged with another school in the winter, wrestling will be at Salem and Skiing at Stillwater. Coaches will contact athletes before the season starts with specific information about practices.
This fall, we began our partnership with FamilyID to get our athletes registered online for the season. This is a secure registration platform that provides you with an easy, user-friendly way to complete the forms and helps us to be more administratively efficient and environmentally responsible. When you register through FamilyID, the system keeps track of your information in your FamilyID profile. You enter your information only once for each family member for multiple uses and multiple programs. So, all of you who registered in the fall, it should be much easier this season! The registration process is as follows:
- A PARENT/GUARDIAN should register by clicking on the following link https://www.familyid.com/cambridge-athletics. To find your program, click on the link provided by the Organization above and select the registration form under the word Programs. This will only be open within 30 days of the start of the season.
- Next click on the green Register Now button and scroll, if necessary, to the Create Account/Log In green buttons. If this is your first time using FamilyID, click Create Account. If you already have a FamilyID account, Click Log In. Create your secure FamilyID account by entering the account owner First and Last names (parent/guardian), Email address and password. Select I Agree to the FamilyID Terms of Service. Click Create Account. You will receive an email with a link to activate your new account. (If you don’t see the email, check your E-mail filters (spam, junk, etc.). Clicking on the link in your activation E-mail, which will log you in to FamilyID.com.
- Once in the registration form, complete the information requested. All fields with a red* are required to have an answer. Click the Continue button when your form is complete. Be sure to review your registration summary. Click the green Submit button. After selecting ‘Submit’, the registration will be complete. You will receive a completion email from FamilyID confirming your registration. There is no charge to complete this process!
- At any time, you may login to update your information and to check your registration(s). To view a completed registration, select the 'Registration' tab on the blue bar.
- For assistance and support with registration, contact FamilyID at: or 888-800-5583 x1. Support is available 7 days per week and messages will be returned promptly.
The New York State Education Department (NYSED) along with the New York State Public High School Athletic Association (NYSPHSAA) requires that every athlete have a completed Health History for Athletics Form signed by a parent/guardian within 30 days of the start of the season (online at FamilyID.com) and proof of a physical examination within the last year on file in the Nurse’s Office. Our school physician, Dr. Baker-Porazinski will be available in the Nurse’s Office on Tuesdays to administer physical examinations if needed. The Health History for Athletics Form must be completed in order for the athlete to be seen by the doctor.
Most of the 2018-19 schedules are now available. Please keep in mind that changes will be made as the year goes on, but you can sign up to receive notifications of these changes! In the right hand corner is the Notify Me! button where you can register to receive notifications of any changes made to the schedules that you choose. There is also a mobile app that can be downloaded to your mobile phone just below that.
Thanks to the Booster Club and the handful of dedicated members who continue to do a tremendous job raising funds to help support our athletic programs! Their main source of revenue comes as a result of the great concession stands they run. As they gear up for the winter, they will call on you to help man the booth. If every parent could lend a hand, it would help tremendously. Please contact Booster Club President Chris Crucetti at 518-860-6001 or at .
Please don’t hesitate to contact me by phone or e-mail if you have questions. See you in a few weeks!
