For all those playing a sport that necessitates wearing cleats outside you must use either the grass or the mat to cross to the fields. Please do not walk on the track with cleats or spikes. Please be sure to pick up and recycle any plastic water or drink bottles that you bring down to the field as Mr. Berry and the coaches are having to pick up many left down there each day. A note to all students- due to liability issues, there can be no activity in the gym or on the athletic fields without a school staff member present. This includes shooting around with a basketball or kicking a soccer ball or any type of athletic activity. Please wait until a coach or staff member is present. Thank you for your cooperation. Attention all students storing gym bags in the gym. Gym bags may NOT be left on the gym floor. They are blocking the fire extinguisher access which is a fire code violation. All bags must be placed on top of the bleachers. All bags left on the floor will be picked up and will have to be claimed at the very end of the day from the Athletic Department.
