SPORTS

Attention:  all Winter (and Spring) Athletes – but mostly winter!  We have a new sport turnout process

 in place.  There are new forms – physical, emergency card, sport guideline, eligibility card – that must be picked up and then returned to Ms. Silver in the main office.  Coaches will NOT be accepting any

paperwork at turnout.  You cannot turnout without a bright yellow index card that is the bottom half

of the new physical.  DO NOT WAIT UNTIL MONDAY, Nov. 12th.  We don’t have school that day

and there won’t be anyone here to check you in.  Coaches will not be collecting last minute forms.

Stop by at your earliest convenience.  Thanks!  GO SPARTANS!  (basketball, boys swim/dive, wrestling and gymnastics)
