WMS Science Olympiad Application
Read the following information carefully before completing this application.  

Please fill out this application to be considered for the WMS Science Olympiad team.  [Selection for the team is very competitive, so be sure to fill out the application fully and to the best of your ability.]

Our team consists of 18 varsity team members and about 5 support team members who are members-in-training. With returning team members, there will be about 12 spots to fill.  Support team members will compete in the tournament as a JV team and are expected to attend all team meetings if they wish to be guaranteed a spot on the varsity team the following year.  They also serve as alternates that may be moved up to the varsity team if a spot becomes available.  We make every effort to balance grade level and gender representation while considering team needs each year.
