Due to recent Federal Regulations that affect schools contacting parents with systems like SchoolMessenger, it is now necessary that parents log into SchoolMessenger InfoCenter and opt-in to receive future phone calls. Below is a video link that will help walk you through this process. Punch Passes Punch pass cards are available for home athletic events. Passes cost $25 for adults pass and $15 for students for 10 home games. The cards will not expire at the end of the year so if you have any punches left, you can use them next year.
