Reminder for Student-Athletes and Families
Student-athletes are reminded that they are responsible for bringing all equipment, clothing, shoes, and other items needed for practices and games with them to school.

Please plan ahead and double-check that all necessary sports items are packed before leaving for school. The front office is unable to accept parent drop-offs of athletic equipment or other sports-related items during the school day.

If a student forgets an item, parents/guardians will need to make arrangements to provide it directly to their student after the school day has ended.

Thank you for your cooperation and for helping our student-athletes come prepared.

 

Monday is a teacher workday and there is no school for students.  Tuesday will be an “A” day.
