Dear Parents,

For those of you that made it to the meeting last night....THANK YOU very much!  I am including the outline for those that couldn't make it.  PLEASE read through the material (there are new items that everyone needs to be aware of) and let me know if you have questions.  I have also corrected the dates in the outline (they are and have been correct on the master schedule...just forgot to update the dates from last year on this outline).

Thanks again!

Below is who we have in the system for completing the online registration and uploading doctor's physicals.  If you dont see your name on this list and have completed this online, please contact the school ASAP​!  If you have completed the physical but haven't uploaded into system, please do so ASAP!  If you haven't scheduled your appointment, please do this ASAP!  REMEMBER - anyone that does not have these things done can NOT practice on Monday!  Thanks!
