Sports clearance is all done online via Final Forms: https://tumwater-wa.finalforms.com/
We are very excited to announce that the Bush Middle School has partnered with Final Forms, an online forms and data management service. Final Forms will allow you to complete and sign athletic participation forms for your students. The most exciting news is that Final Forms saves data from season-to-season and year-to-year, meaning that you will never need to enter the same information twice! Final Forms also pre-populates information wherever possible, for each of your students, saving you time. Once you have completed all the required forms, your student will be cleared to participate.

Sports Physical Form We will also accept any doctor's physical documentation as long as it is current. Physicals are good for 2 years. Here is a list of options for Sports Physicals.
Sports Participation Fees: The Athletic Secretary will assess the fees within two weeks of practice starting and send an email on how to pay online, via TSD Payment Portal. The fees are $25 for an ASB card (once per year), $40 participation fee (per sport), and $5 banquet fee (per sport). The ASB & participation fees will be waived for Free/Reduced students who have completed the TSD Consent Form ($5 banquet fee is required by all athletes). A full refund is available if the student is cut from the team by coaches. Refunds are also available if a student turns out for a sport, then determines that the activity is not for them, provided the decision is made before the first competition. If a student is injured in the first portion of the season and cannot compete for the remainder of the season, the fees will be refunded. No refund for grade ineligibility. No partial refunds will be issued. No charge for managers & student helpers. Refund of banquet fee can be issued if a student quits before the end of the season, upon request.
