Athletic Schedules

In order to be academically eligible all student athletes must pass a minimum of five (5) subjects and fail no more than one (1) core course.

Tri-West has four 9-week grading periods. Student scholastic eligibility will be determined the day report cards are issued. A sound education is the foundation for any successful athletic program.

Physical

Tri-West Athletics has moved to a paperless clearance process as it regards the athletic physicals.

In order to place your student in the "clear" category, that is, participate in practices/tryouts and athletic events, we will need you to do the following:

1.  Go to:  https://triwestbruins-in.e-ppe.com
2.  Set up an account for you and your student
3.  Fill out the following pages online -- 

          - IHSAS Pre-Participation History
          - Parent Consent and Release
          - Concussion and Sudden Cardiac Arrest
          - Hendricks Regional Health Parental Consent
          - Download Page 2 of the IHSAA Physical Examination form, signed and dated by the doctor. Remember, the athletic physical must be dated AFTER April 1 of that year.

If you have questions, regarding the process of registering your student/athlete in the PRIVIT system, or the athletic physical process in general, please contact Mrs. Rawlings in the TWMS athletic office at 317-994-4243.
