ANNOUNCEMENTS/TODAY'S EVENTS
It's Monday! Don't forget to be awesome, EAGLE NATION!!!!!! Friday night's Teachers vs. Albany DJ game was packed with excitement. Thank you to all that attended and helped with the game as it was a successful fundraiser for the GTA Scholarship fund. Hopefully, you got your umbrella handy today, as there will be periods of heavy rain.
It seems like it has taken forever, but Modified Sports finally starts today. League and non-league games/meets will begin this week for the JV and Varsity Spring teams. Check out the schedule below for the season (please know that weather can cause dates and times to be subject to change for games and events).
Please remember that athletes cannot practice until they are approved on Family ID. If you want to play spring sports, there is still time to sign up. Modified Sports start today. Please register with Family ID if you haven't already done so. We offer Baseball, Softball, and Track & Field. See the info below for the link to register. -
Athletes must participate in a certain number of practices before being eligible for a scrimmage or a game/meet. Softball, track, and field athletes need 6 practices, and Baseball athletes need 10 practices.
If a student leaves school early due to being sick, they are not allowed to come back for practice or a game/event.
Remember, keep it classy, Eagle Nation!
