Junior High football parents. If there is anytime that I have to cancel a JH football game because of grades, I will cancel the season.
I am not going to wonder if we are going to play or not from week to week because of grades.
If you have any questions, please contact me at school.
Sports pictures are next Tuesday, September 8th after school.
Coding Club starts tomorrow from 3-4. Come and join the fun!
We will also be having a flight challenge meeting this Thursday, September 3rd from 3-4 pm. ##Spartanpride
