Student Registration
Welcome to SAS Fall 2023 Student Registration!
We truly feel grateful to be a part of your student's journey into middle school. We know this can be an exciting yet challenging time for both students and families, so we hope we can help make this a very special, fun, and positive experience.
We have gone completely digital for registration this year, so we kindly ask that you help us by completing both of the registration steps below. If at any point you have questions or need help with this process, feel welcome to email us at SAS@mail.wvu.edu.
If you still have questions or would like to learn more about SAS before registering your student, please explore the resources at the bottom of the page.
Registration
If you are ready to register, please find your school below and fill out the forms that correspond to your school. You must complete both steps of the registration process to register your student.
If your school is not specified below, please contact SAS@mail.wvu.edu or your school's SAS coordinator.
*NOTE: You must complete the Participant Information Form AND the Commitment to Being My Best Form to completely register your student.*
Step 1 - Participant Information Form - These forms help provide us information so that we can best be prepared to serve your student. It will cover everything we need to know from T-shirt sizes to emergency contacts to information our nurse needs to administer medications.
Step 2 - Review and Sign our Commitment to Being My Best and Waivers - Please go over the Commitment to Being My Best with your student - they will need to sign this as well. The waivers will cover liability, media release, and other items.
Once both of these are completed, your student is officially registered!
Resources
Now what?! Let's get ready to go! Here are a number of resources for you and your student to prepare for your big adventure:
- Review the Packing List - Please make sure to check the weather and adapt the list as needed for your week! Also, we want to reiterate that if you don't have something on the list, that's okay! We'll make sure your student has what they need. PRO TIP: Label everything you bring... even undies. Now get packing!
- Attend an information session - Every Monday at 6:00pm from August 21st through October 30th, you can join us on Zoom for a free and informal information session. Just click the link and jump on the call! https://wvu.zoom.us/j/97843464594

Pro Tip: For many sections, there are multiple photos, so don't forget to look for the arrows to see as much as possible!
