"You are receiving this email because your child(ren) are participating in cheerleading or basketball for the winter 22/23 season. Please read the following important information carefully. The core part of this information comes directly from our school handbook that can always be found here.

Parents are required to work at least two shifts of concessions/admissions/scoreboard per sport their child participates in. Brandi Cusumano, our Athletic Director, created a Sign-Up Genius to make it easy for families to fulfill this requirement. Please follow this link to the Sign-Up Genius page and sign up to work at two games. The games you work do NOT have to be your child’s games! You can choose any two games for the season! "
