Parent Teacher Conference Dates - Sept. 20 and 21
Our middle school evening will look a little different with due to the number of students we have. :) We have assigned you a block of time. This way everyone won't show up on the same night at the same time. I appreciate you letting us know if the assigned block of time doesn't work. This also allows our teachers the best opportunity to be completely prepared for you when you arrive.
Everyone will get 15 minutes with each teacher their child has. Your attendance is greatly appreciated. We look forward to having 100% attendance like we had the last few years!!!
Please note that each day of PTC's we DO NOT SERVE LUNCH.

Taken from: The Increasingly Important Role of Athletics in Schools
ESSENTIAL LIFE SKILLS
Athletics provides athletes with several benefits including the acquisition of valuable life skills that will benefit them throughout their life. These skills are more beneficial than the games themselves, and their impact can be powerful and transcending.
Some of these skills include:
- Effort - This is defined as giving it everything you have in both practice and games. Effort can overcome the lack of talent in many cases. A player who gives 100% effort is said to have heart. Life lesson: Give your best no matter what and you cannot question yourself in the end.
- Hard work - It is the preparation you put into becoming a better player before the game is played. This includes strength and endurance training, individual practice time, and film study. Life lesson: Preparation is the key to success. If you work hard to prepare, mistakes are less likely to occur.
- Self-discipline - It is the ability to maintain and carry out the role the coaches have determined within the game plan. This includes understanding your own individual strengths and weaknesses. Life lesson: Stay on task to get the job done no matter what distractions there may be.
- Teamwork - This is the ability to work with others to complete a goal successfully. A team will only be successful if each individual fulfills their role. Life lesson: Working with others is an essential part of being successful. Doing your own thing can be detrimental and lead to many problems.
- Time management - This is the ability to fulfill all obligations including practice, homework, family, friends, etc. Life lesson: You must be well-balanced and adept at handling all aspects of your life so that you are not overwhelmed and stressed out.
