To be eligible to participate in tryouts, students must:
Register for their sport through Aktivate https://www.registermyathlete.com/login/
Select Joyce Clark for the school.
Transportation
To make participation easier for families across the district, transportation will be provided from Carmichael Neighborhood School, Huachuca Mountain Neighborhood School, and Pueblo del Sol Neighborhood School to Town & Country Neighborhood School for all interested student-athletes during tryouts and throughout the season for practices and games.
Parents/guardians are responsible for picking up their student-athletes from the Town & Country Neighborhood School campus at the conclusion of all tryouts, practices, and games. Return transportation to neighborhood schools will not be provided after athletic activities.

📢 New Arizona Healthy Schools Act Takes Effect This School Year
Sierra Vista Unified School District is committed to keeping families informed about changes that affect our schools. Beginning this school year, Arizona's Healthy Schools Act (A.R.S. §15-242.01) establishes new statewide requirements for certain foods and beverages shared with students during the school day.
Please note: This is an Arizona state law, not an SVUSD-created rule. All public schools across Arizona are required to comply.
Here's what families need to know:
🥪 Students may still bring their own lunches and snacks from home for their personal consumption.
🚫 Students may not share lunches or snacks that contain any of the prohibited ingredients listed in the new law.
🎉 Birthdays, holidays, and classroom celebrations will continue! If food is brought to share with classmates, it must comply with the Arizona Healthy Schools Act.
🍎 Good news! Our food service partner, SFE, is already in compliance with the new law. All breakfasts, lunches, snacks, and beverages served through SVUSD meet the state's new requirements.
🎈 Elementary & K–8 Families: To make celebrations easy, our Food Service Department will offer Celebration Packs that include a compliant drink and cookies for $2 per student. More information and order forms will be available in your school office soon.
Thank you for partnering with us as we implement this new statewide requirement and continue creating healthy, welcoming schools for all students.
📄 Learn more by reading the attached information and reviewing the list of prohibited ingredients.
