Second Winter Season:
- Indoor track and swimming sign ups will begin January 21st.
- The swimming and indoor track season will begin with practices on February 3rd.
All semester course scores will be final at the end of the semester. Students need to make sure that they are talking with their teachers and making sure they have their assignments completed. If there are absences or other issues that would allow for an extension, this would be determined by the teacher and student PRIOR to the close of the semester. When in doubt, it is always a good idea to ask the teacher! Our semester will end January 17.
Things to remember regarding Basketball:
- To continue to be eligible for athletics students need to maintain a 2.5 HOW average in all three HOW categories. Mr. Ouellet runs reports on Monday mornings; students and parents will be contacted if there is a concern of eligibility.
- Sport schedules can be accessed here. Parents can sign up for text/email alerts on the schedule page to be automatically notified with changes in games and practices.
