Athletics

Student athletes need to have all forms completed and a valid sports physical submitted and reviewed prior to the first day of practice.

If you have uploaded documents to Final Forms, please DO NOT email them to Meeker Athletics. Final Forms will be updated when the Athletic Director has updated the system. We are trying to avoid duplicates.

Remember to schedule your athletic physicals early so there is no delay in your sports participation. In addition to having a current physical, all student athletes must register using the Final Forms registration system.

Students will also need to purchase an ASB Membership for $15. This is a requirement to participate in any after school activities. Students without an ASB membership will not be eligible to participate.

Final Forms Troubleshooting

Meeker Athletics receives emails from students and parents needing help with various issues related to logging into their Final Forms accounts. Unfortunately, we do not have a list of usernames and passwords or a way to reset passwords. However, here is a list of what may be causing issues and possible resolutions:

The student has never logged into Final Forms.
- The student will need to confirm their account. Students need to login to their Office 365 account (same username and password needed to login to a school computer). Once confirmed, athletes should go to Outlook email where they will find their Final Forms Account confirmation link. If they cannot find the email, the Athletic Director can resend a link to confirm their account.

Parent has never logged into Final Forms.
- They need to confirm their account. Parents should search their email for a Final Forms confirmation email. If parents cannot locate their confirmation email, they will need to contact the building Athletic Director to confirm the email address Tacoma Public Schools has is correct. We can then resend a confirmation email.

Parent or athlete have logged in but forgot their password.
- Please use the “Forgot your Password” feature on the Final Forms login page.

If the parent does not have a valid email in ParentVUE there will not be an account for the student. Parents need to update their email with the school’s Registrar and the Athletic Director.

Homeschooled, Private School, Alternative Education students will need to have an account created for them. Please contact the Athletics Department at Athletics@tacoma.k12.wa.us.
