HOW TO REGISTER FOR ESSEX TECH ATHLETICS:

- User fee(s) must be paid through the online registration process;
- Online registration must be completed and submitted;
- A current physical exam (within the last 13 months) will be required to be uploaded during the registration process.
Payment Directions for FREE or REDUCED Athletic Fees:
If a student athlete has been approved for free or reduced lunch, they are automatically approved for free or reduced ($50) athletic user fees. Parents / Guardians must sign off and return the “Sharing Information With Other Programs” form. This will allow administration to share your son or daughter’s lunch status with Athletics so waivers can be approved. This form can be found in the athletic office, assistant principals office, or under the “Families” tab on the Essex Tech website.
Payment:
- During registration, there will be a “Discount Code” option in the “Participant” section of the process.
- The code “Free” should be entered in the discount code box if your student athlete has been approved for free lunch and this information has been shared with the Athletic Department.
- The code “Reduced” should be entered in the discount code box if your student athlete has been approved for reduced lunch and this information has been shared with the Athletic Department.
- **All registrations will be required to submit a full payment to register for Athletics. If a discount code is connected to the registration, the Athletic Department will adjust accordingly and issue a refund once information has been confirmed.**
