Please bring your $5 per player if you haven't already paid.
Also, Jr. High volleyball practice will begin August 13. 6th through 8th grade girls are invited to join us. We will decide whether 5th graders will be pulled up once we know our numbers. We will practice August 13 - 16 from 3:30 - 5:00 PM. On Thursay, students need to go home after the noon dismissal and return for practice at 3:30. On Friday, and every day after that, there will be a classroom designated with a supervisor for any players wishing to stay at school after the 2:55 dismissal until 3:30 when practice begins. If taking advantage of this opportunity, the players will be required to remain in the room until the coach arrives. If a player doesn't wish to use this resource time, they must leave school and return for practice at 3:30. Players will not be allowed to be in the hallways or on school grounds without supervision. Practices for the rest of the season will be determined during this first week of practice. This information will be posted on the school live feed and facebook. Thank you and have a great evening.
