Important Reminders

Winter season is quickly approaching...

Parents please remember to Register your child in Genesis for a Winter Sport.

Look for the email if they need ImPACT testing. Two sessions took place today at 4pm and 5pm. The make up session will be on 11/14- REMOTE at 4pm and 5pm. They must sign up in the email with the link sent to those who need it and are registered for a Winter Sport. If you did not receive and need one this means your child hasn't been registered in Genesis.

School provided physicals will take place on Wednesday, 11/1. You must register for a time slot at this link.
