Key Dates for 2022-2023

Key Dates for 2023-2024

Spring Extracurriculars *Note Updates

Registration for spring extracurriculars is open through Monday, April 10, on Jumbula. See the chart for offerings and find more information on the Heilicher website's activities and athletics pages.

PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING:

• Girls on the Run practices begin Monday, March 27, and Wednesday, March 29, at 3:50 p.m. If your student is still involved in mid-winter extracurriculars, they are not expected to be at these practices.
• Soccer will only be once a week: K-2 on Tuesdays and 3-4 on Mondays. Due to a miscommunication with AKA Sports, we have to change spring soccer to once a week. While unplanned, we are excited to be able to honor the request many of you have had to participate in soccer one day a week. The soccer price was set by the league for once a week and is $130.
• Tennis is now available to fifth grade and has more flexible options for K-5 for one-four days a week, Monday-Thursday, thanks to your feedback and working with Twin City Tennis Camps. If you already signed up, please reregister and you will be refunded the original fee.
• Ultimate Frisbee needs at least two more participants who do not identify as male in order to run. The league requires that no more than three players of one gender play on the field at a time.

Please reach out with any questions to After-School Activities Coordinator Jeremy Savran for activities or Athletic Director Lee Metzger for sports.
