Each student must remove all jewelry for class (including earrings) and put long hair in a ponytail.  If your daughter has had her ears recently pierced and cannot remove them, you will need to provide tape or band-aids to cover her ears during PE.

We will issue each student a locker and lock to use while in class.  Encourage your daughter to use the locker to secure her things.  The coaching staff and school are not responsible for items that are not locked up.  The cost for lost locks is $5.00.

If your daughter is not feeling well and you do not want her to participate in Pre-Athletics, please send a note.  A parental note will excuse a student for up to 3 consecutive days, after that, a doctor’s note will be required.   Students should continue to dress out even if they have a note from a parent.  Excuse notes from a doctor will be honored as indicated in the note.

We are looking forward to a great year with your daughter.  Please call me if you have any concerns or questions.
