We are asking all Spring Athletes to come to school with their clothes, equipment, and water for practice at the beginning of the day. Athletes can ask a teacher to "house" their equipment in their classroom until the end of the day or request a locker to put their stuff in during the day. We are asking parents to not bring in the athlete's equipment throughout the day or drop it off right before practice as it is their responsibility to come prepared for practice and it avoids chaos in the front office.

ALL practices are closed to outside community members. This gives the most opportunity for our athletes to compete without becoming anxious or stressed. Coaches will be asking spectators to leave during this time to ensure they get a fair opportunity for all athletes.

Thank you for understanding and your continued support of our Athletic Department. Any questions related to athletics can be directed to Mr. Larson at [email protected]  

TICKETS 

To make entry into our events more effective and efficient, we are asking that you bring exact change or provide bills less than, or equal to, the amount of $10. When we receive $20 or even $50 bills, it creates an issue with providing the right amount of change for everyone throughout the night and holds up our line when we need to create more change throughout the night. Adult tickets are $3 and student tickets are $1, if you have a 3rd Quarter VISA, you are free.  Thank you for your consideration.

 

Monday will be an "A" Day.
