The Spring sports season has finished. Congratulations and thank you to all student athletes and coaches for a great season. Thank you to the parents for your support this year. And a special shout-out to the 8th grade baseball team. Over the last two years, they have compiled a 22-0 record!


During the month of May or June, 6th graders will complete an Impact baseline concussion test during PE class. The tests are done on computers and will provide a baseline for the next two years at Fugett. The results are stored in an online database and if necessary, can be provided to parents and/or physicians if a student has a possible concussion. For more information, please see this link below or email Thomas Swift at tswift@wcasd.net.
