As you are planning your week, please remember to include our fall athlete parent meeting scheduled for Tuesday, August 6th at 5:30pm!
If your child plans to tryout for football, softball, or cheer, you MUST attend to get all paperwork completed for their eligibility!
**Cheer will hold ONE tryout! Any interested athlete MUST tryout during the August tryouts. However, if your child wants to play softball and only cheer during basketball season, they may do so. (assuming they make the squad) Athletes may also choose to only cheer during football season and play basketball. (They still need to tryout now though) But, cheerleaders will not be allowed to play another sport in the same season that they are cheering.**
Our teachers thoroughly enjoy spending the last few minutes of the school day with students in the car rider line, ensuring each child is safely placed into their vehicle. Thank you to our dedicated staff for their unwavering commitment and care.
Even during indoor recess, Mrs. Brooks' students remained enthusiastic about using technology to enhance their learning. Mrs. Brooks provides her students with opportunities to work both individually and in groups, ensuring they remain engaged and eager to use technology for learning, even during indoor recess.
