Attention spring sports families!
Tryouts for spring sports are coming up soon, and there is important information you need to know!
Students who wish to try out for spring sports (baseball, softball, and golf) MUST have a current athletics physical and be on Final Forms for the sport they wish to play.
If your child intends to try out for any of these sports, you need to ensure he or she has their physical and is on Final Forms BEFORE tryouts. The physical must be on file with the school, and the student must be in Final Forms and associated with his or her chosen sport prior to try out day. If these requirements are not met, your child WILL NOT be allowed to try out for the sport.
Tryouts for both baseball and softball are currently scheduled for January 29th at their respective fields, weather permitting. Make sure all requirements are met BEFORE this date.
We will have information on golf coming soon.
Please see the attached image for information about next week!!

The September 2023 newsletter is available NOW!! Please navigate to the Parents section of our website (click on the Parent Info tile on our homepage), and scroll down to the newsletter section to head to our newsletter database!
Please remember that we are hosting our Meet and Greet on Monday, August 14, 2023!! Come in and meet your student's teachers!! Please see the attached flyer for more information!
Please remember info on the following procedures: 1. Doors open at 7:30 am for student drop off every morning. 2. Car riders MUST be dropped off and picked up in the traffic circle at the school's front doors. Car riders CANNOT be dropped off or picked up on Cumberland Street. This is a safety hazard for students, and creates traffic flow problems. 3. Car rider and walker dismissal is at 3:13 pm, daily, unless we have an abbreviated day. 4. When picking up car riders in the afternoon, please follow Mrs. Smith's and Coach Tapp's directions for moving forward in the line. Once you have picked up your student and are directed to leave the traffic circle, please proceed up the alley along the fence line by the gym and exit to Georgia Street. This will avoid congestion on Cumberland Street.
Please see the attachment for important dates for August.
Please note that all online registration and FinalForms need to be completed by Friday, August 11, 2023. If you are having difficulties with this process, we will have help available at the Meet and Greet on Monday, August 14, 2023.
