FYI:

On the 7th we will photograph students who were absent or enrolled after the original picture day. Another retake day will be scheduled after proofs are sent home.
Passes for sporting events: If you purchased an athletic pass through the booster club you must show it at the gate to get in or pay $5 admission.

Homecoming Basketball Shirts due first thing tomorrow, November 3. Forms were passed out last week to students.
