Participation Packet Information
The participation packet for sports and activities registration is to be completed online in ParentVUE. If you do not have a ParentVUE account currently, please contact the Northeast main office 402-436-1303 opt. 2 for assistance in creating the account prior to attempting to register, or with any other issues concerning ParentVUE if you are having trouble logging in. Go to https://home.lps.org/athletics/packet/ scroll down and click on the blue button “Enter ParentVue to Complete Packet”. Click on LPS High School Athletic and Activity Registration. You will come to a point where it says complete with a check mark in a green rectangle which is a glitch in the system. If you exit at this point, I will not be able to see it. You will need to scroll down slightly and click on Save and Continue, then on Submit, then OK.
The Nebraska School Activities Association requires that each student who wishes to participate in a sport, cheer or dance have a physical dated May 1st or after of the current school year. The online packet must be completed online before your student can try-out for any sport here at Northeast. If you do complete the consent portion prior to having the physical, please e-mail it to Cindy in the Athletics & Activities office at ctyrrel@lps.org or hand deliver it to the Athletics & Activities office, room 171 so it can be uploaded for you.
You can take a picture of your physical to upload with your phone if needed. The online system will only accept one page, so please be sure you upload the physical side (page 1 of 2). If you have a two-sided form with the medical history on side 2, only upload side 1 with the physician’s signature. Please make sure we can see the date of the physical. Here is an app you can put on your phone to help upload documents.
CamScanner – PDF Scanner App ( iOS | Android)
If you are participating in speech, debate (not currently offered at LNE), one act play production, instrumental music/vocal music and/or journalism you only need the consents done. No physical is required. Consents are due by the date listed on the Participation Packet page under Key Dates.
