FEWD (Faith and Education Winter Donations)

In the fall, Ankeny families are faced with a significant challenge. Iowa winter has us opening our closet for winter coats, hats, gloves and scarves. However, many Ankeny families lack the funds to purchase these items for their children. Project Fresh Start has stepped forward to help receive and coordinate donations of winter apparel. If you would like to donate new or gently used winter apparel items for any ages, we will have a donation bin located in the main office November 7-10.
If you are in need of winter apparel donations for your family, they will be available for pick up at Prairie Ridge Middle School on Saturday November 12th 11:00 AM-2:00 PM and Sunday November 13th 11:00 AM-1:00 PM.

Activity Registration/Winter Parent Meeting

Activity Registration

Ankeny Hawk Families,

As we are midway through the month of October, it is time to begin the process of gearing up for an exciting winter sports season.

One of the more stressful things every school year for student-athletes, parents, coaches, and the activities office is the process of obtaining permission to practice and compete.  We are excited to offer an online platform that houses athletic physicals and other important electronic forms that we hope will make this experience more convenient for all involved.

Athletic registrations must be renewed each school year.  Registrations from prior years are not valid.  If your student will participate in a 2022-23 winter sport, we ask that you complete this online registration process by Friday, October 28. This will give our office time to process all registrations, share information with coaches and directors, and clear permission to practice prior to the start of official practice.

Below you will find the link to the registration website as well as some general instructions to help you in the process.  You must complete this process for your student to be given permission to practice and compete.

Click here to access the Ankeny High School and Southview Activities registration site.

Once you are on the Activities Registration website, these instructions will guide you through the registration process.

If you have additional questions, you may contact the activities department at your student’s school.  For Southview, contact Mary Arnold at (515)965-9635.  For Ankeny High School, contact Lisa Meeker at (515)963-4335.

 

Winter Parent Meeting

If you have a student that plans to participate in basketball, wrestling, boys’ swimming, bowling or winter cheer, we ask that you attend an informational parent meeting held in the commons at AHS on Tuesday, November 1, at 6:30pm.

Activities Director, Adam McDonnell, will provide information related to student eligibility, athletic physical submission, our athletic trainer and the role of each staff member in the activities office.  After Mr. McDonnell’s presentation, winter coaches will provide program-specific information to parents.

We look forward to seeing you on Tuesday, November 1.
