KSHSAA Rules State:
"Parents, for the safety of the participants, official, and fans, all preschool children through 5th graders must sit with an adult. Middle school students should be with parents or the band or in the pep section watching the game. All students need to sit and watch the game unless they are going to the concession stand or restroom. Please limit the trips across the gym/field to time outs, between quarters, and between games."

A few reminders :
Please call the office prior to picking up your children for appointments. This helps us have them ready and waiting in the office for you when you arrive.
**New this year** Students must bring a Doctor's note back from providers after attending dental/medical appointments.
If your student's after school plans change, please call the office by 2:30pm to avoid after school confusion. This helps give office staff plenty of time to find students and get their messages to the classrooms and after school program.
If your child is a drop-in STARS student, a parent must notify the office if they are wanting them to stay for STARS. This is encouraged for the safety of your child, so that all parties know their location.
Want to look as good as we do?
Drink lots of water and buy our Trojan Nation gear!
