LOOKING AHEAD
As we prepare for our first football game next week, please make sure students have tall, athletic black socks for their uniform. Veterans should also confirm shoes fit - this can still be addressed if necessary - but don't wait until next week. We will feed the students dinner before every game - they are NOT to leave the campus for any reason. We will take care of them all night!!

PARKING FAVOR

At the dismissal of a marching band rehearsal, over 100 students are leaving the side exit of the building. With that many cars lined up to pick up students, it is an accident waiting to happen. Please find a parking space in front of the school and wait for your student to safely walk to your car. The line of cars around the entire parking lot is not a safe dismissal for any of our students. Also, please do not pull in to the side lane that runs next to the cafeteria and loading dock; students walk this way and many are pushing equipment up that drive, which poses a safety issue if there is heavy traffic. The loading dock should also be kept clear for equipment storage. Thanks for your help with this issue - we appreciate your assistance keeping all students safe!
