Important Reminder for Middle School Summer School Students:
If your middle school athlete is enrolled in summer school, please note the following attendance policies:
**Shootouts or All-Day Events Off Campus: Students will be counted absent and will not qualify for the attendance incentive.
**On-Campus Conditioning Sessions During School Hours: Students must check in with their teacher first, then return to class after the session for their attendance to count.
