Dear Parents and Guardians,

As the fall sports season wraps up with Rock County hosting sub-district volleyball on Monday and Tuesday, I’d like to offer a friendly reminder for home events: please ensure your children remain seated with you throughout the event. We’ve noticed instances of students playing in the multipurpose room and running around the commons area. On several occasions, we’ve had to ask children to return to their seats and stop running.

Your cooperation helps us maintain a safe and respectful environment for all attendees. Thank you for your support!

Mrs. Fischer

Good luck to the Knights Cross Country runners at state!
