Important Coronavirus Update
As the coronavirus progresses, in an effort to be prudent, Section XI will suspend all games and scrimmages until April 3rd. As that date approaches, we will reassess the situation utilizing updated information.
Islip will continue to hold all OUTDOOR practices. However, per Section XI, no games, scrimmage, or combined practices will take place until after April 3rd.
News
As you have heard, all potential athletes need to be registered through our new portal, FinalForms. The attached documents will help you navigate this simple process. From start to finish it should not take more than 10 minutes and you will only have to fill out most of the forms once.
Sports Physicals MUST continue to be brought or sent in hard copy to the nurse for final clearance.
We are very excited to announce that the Islip School District Athletic Department has partnered with FinalForms, an online forms and data management service. FinalForms allows you to complete and sign athletic participation forms for your students. The most exciting news is that FinalForms saves data from season-to-season and year-to-year, meaning that you will never need to enter the same information twice! FinalForms also pre-populates information wherever possible, for each of your students, saving you time.
You may review your data at any time to verify it is current. You will be required to sign your forms once per year and after any update.
Click on the Parent Playbook (Islip Parent Playbook) to get started in FinalForms. If you require any support during the process, scroll to the page bottom and click “Use Support”.
We are asking that ALL parents of athletes use FinalForms.
Please register at: https://islip-ny.finalforms.com/
and follow the prompts to create your account, create your students and sign your forms.
Thank you for your assistance in streamlining our paperwork processes with the Islip School District.

About the Office of Health, Physical Education and Athletics
Physical Education and Health
All students are provided with the opportunity to engage in meaningful
learning experiences through quality physical education and health
programs which will develop the skills, knowledge, understanding and
appreciation needed to maintain lifelong healthy behaviors and
attitudes. The diversity and multicultural aspects of our programs will
enable students to become socially and personally responsible citizens
who will contribute to the well- being of their families, school and
community.
Athletics
The student athlete represents the best of his/her school community, and
therefore is held to a high standard. Student athletes are our
school's ambassadors to our community and to the schools with whom we
compete. They are often leaders in school and role models to children
not yet old enough to play sports. Interscholastic athletics helps to
provide insight into many life experiences with regard to
responsibility, fair play, cooperation, concern for others, leadership,
respect, good citizenship, loyalty, tolerance, resiliency,
sportsmanship, confronting fear, adapting, succeeding, and failing.
Interscholastic athletics in the Islip School District is an integral
part of the district's total educational program. The interscholastic
competitive environment provides an opportunity for our participants to
learn positive life skills and values. This is accomplished through the
implementation of the Educational Framework for Interscholastic Athletic
Programs promoted through the New York State Education Department. The
program promotes the four "C's" as stated below:
-
Competence
A student athlete in a quality program is competent in terms of: Skill
Development, Knowledge of the Game/Strategies,
Fitness/Conditioning/Healthy Behaviors
- Character
A student in a quality program demonstrates: Responsibility, Accountability, Dedication, Trustworthiness/fair Play, Self-Control
- Civility
A student athlete in a quality program demonstrates civility towards others, showing: Respect, Caring, Fairness
- Citizenship
A student athlete in a quality program demonstrates citizenship through
actions showing evidence of: Loyalty/Commitment, Teamwork, Role Modeling
The Islip interscholastic athletic program offers a wide variety of
individual and team sports. The experience begins with a modified
four-sport season program, provided for middle school seventh and eighth
grade students, progressing to a three-sport season high school
program, which includes opportunities for participation in junior
varsity programs and culminates with a varsity level experience for the
highest level student-athletes.
Islip School District Interscholastic Sports program including: athletic academic eligibility policy, teams offered, levels of participation, athletic department coaches, general sportsmanship guidelines, FAQ's, sports physical dates, tryout dates, directions to away contests, summer camps and downloadable sports physicals forms.
