Attention parents of athletes in grades 6-11:
The new school year will bring a change to sports registration for SCA. FamilyID will no longer be utilized. The new system will be more beneficial for you as a parent, as well as the Athletic Trainer and coaches. Healthy Roster is an electronic medical record app used by all Geisinger Athletic Trainers to document athlete injuries. It is HIPAA compliant, allowing only the Athletic Trainer, the parent and the coach of the athlete's specific team, to see the athlete's information. As a parent, you can simply take pictures of your athlete's PIAA paperwork and add it to the app. Other PIAA and SCA papers will already be integrated into the app to fill out prior to each sports season, similar to FamilyID. Please bear with us as this is new to us as well.
ImPACT testing for concussions will no longer be utilized either. Geisinger is switching to a new program, and that is in the works as well.
If you have not already downloaded the Healthy Roster app, please send the Athletic Trainer an email of who you are, who your athlete(s) are, their upcoming grade, and their birth date. Do not expect a response with a code to link you to your athlete's profile until AFTER mid June!!
Free physicals at the school have NOT been scheduled yet. We need to wait until Healthy Roster is completely set up over the summer to schedule them. This may not be until late July/early August. Please check back over the summer for an announcement. You are always welcome to bring your child to their PCP for a physical at your convenience.
Send Healthy Roster email request to:
