IMPORTANT OFF-SEASON ATHLETIC TRAINING INFORMATION
Kelso Parents and Athletes,
Beginning on Monday, October 26th, as long as county health numbers remain at current levels, we will open our facilities to Kelso High School student athletes and coaches for off-season training opportunities. We will do so by adhering to general and sport specific guidance provided by WIAA in conjunction with the Governor’s office and the Washington State Health Department. Decisions are being based on ongoing discussions with the Cowlitz County Health Department and the Kelso School District.
Please contact specific sport coaches for information and questions on workout availability and times.
NEED TO KNOW INFORMATION:
o REQUIRED: In order to be on campus, parents must complete an online waiver and consent form for their athlete. This will be done similar to our regular sport season registration process.
Access these forms at our KHS Athletics page.

You will need your Skyward Family Access login information.

They didn’t get a pandemic preparedness class before graduating college. But these 4 first-year Kelso teachers said they’ll be stronger teachers for it, even though they miss their students and wrestle to explain subjects by phone & internet. #WeAreKelso
