Please inform your Athletic Directors to pay close attention to the following details when entering rosters to avoid the tedious process of correcting mistakes. If you have any questions or need help, reach out to Reed Willis or Amy Thornton before entering rosters. 

Points of Emphasis

• When entering rosters be sure to select "Deselect All" before entering your roster.
• If you do not, the entire list of students will be added to the roster, and YOU will need to delete each entry one by one.

As regular season contests begin, please be reminded:

• Each participating school must have an administrator or designee present at every athletic contest and identify themselves to any officials directing the game.

Safety isn't limited to the time spent at athletic contests; it extends to when our staff, students and fans leave the venue. We encourage you to communicate and promote these important safety tips:

• Park in Well-Lit Areas: Advise staff, students, and fans to park their vehicles in well-lit areas. Visibility is a powerful deterrent to unwanted incidents.
• Valuables Out of Sight: Remind everyone to stow valuables out of sight. Leaving items in plain view may attract theft.
• Lock Your Vehicles: Ensure that vehicles are securely locked. This simple step can prevent break-ins.
• Travel in Groups: Encourage carpooling or walking in groups, especially at night. There's safety in numbers.
• Report Signs of Trouble: If anyone sees trouble or suspicious activity, urge them to report it to the proper authorities immediately.

Safety is a collective responsibility, and by promoting these measures, we can help keep our school community safe even after the final whistle has blown. Thank you for your commitment to safety and the well-being of our school community.
