It’s a Great Day to be a TIGER!
Academic Programming Parents should expect progress reports next Wednesday, November 11th. Don’t forget you can sign up for ActiveParent to keep track of your child’s grades and attendance. Students will not attend in-person classes on Friday, November 13th. Students will work from home so teachers can learn more about incorporating technology to improve teaching and learning.
Operations Your Tiger basketball teams will be back in action on Thursday, November 5th. In an effort to keep our players and fans safe at an indoor event such as this, basketball tickets are limited to two per participant. Players have submitted the names of the people who can purchase tickets. When purchasing a ticket at the door, you will be required to show your ID. This procedure will be in effect for both teams.
We hope you can join us on Friday, November 6 at TIger Stadium where we will take on Kossuth in the first round playoff game. Tickets are on sale in the high school office and are $8.00 each. These will be available to the public beginning Thursday, November 5th. Buy your tickets early as there are a limited number available, and there may not be any tickets for sale at the gate.
