Football and Volleyball Parents- Important Information!
We are so excited to having our students playing sports again!! Due to Covid-19, we must take all precautions to keep all those competing and spectating safe. Each athlete has been given an athletics pass that, when presented (no photos of the card are allowed), will admit two people into the event for free. The card, itself, must be presented for entry; therefore, if you have not received yours from your athlete, please ask them for it. Upon entry, the spectators will also have to complete a health screening on their phone and must be cleared to enter the school or spectator areas. A team parents and B team parents will be let into the spectators area for only that team's competition. Masks will be required at all times, even outside during the football games. Seats are marked for social distancing. We do appreciate all our parents and the great even we had last week. See you at the game, but be sure to have your pass!
