Football fans, don’t forget to pick up your tickets in the office before the game. They will be available starting Wednesday. If you can’t make it up to the office, give them a call, and they will reserve some for you. This year, due to COVID rules, you are required to have a ticket to enter the game. Also, you must be prepared to wear a mask and practice social distancing. We need to follow the rules! Thank you to all that have been supportive of these guidelines. We want this to be a great season for our athletes, and our spectators are a big part of that.

The end of the first six weeks is upon us. This Thursday is the last day to get grades in. Report cards will be coming out next week. Parents, be on the lookout for those.

Again, we are so thankful to everyone that is making this school year successful. We are grateful for each day we get to spend with our students in person. It truly takes the whole community to make this happen. Thank you all!
