Varsity Football – Practice at 9:00 AM

We appreciate your patience and understanding as we navigate this unexpected disruption. The safety and well-being of our students and staff remain our top priority.
Sincerely,

Bus routes for the high school will run at the adjusted dismissal time. The high school football team (9-12) will practice immediately upon dismissal. Middle school football will be canceled for today.
