The following regulations are set forth for seniors during practice days:

• After practice, you must immediately leave school grounds. No loitering in the parking lot is permitted.

• School rules always apply i.e. no vaping on school grounds. Any illegal behavior can affect your participation in the graduation ceremony.

• You are not allowed in the building during practice times without permission from Mrs. Landwher or Ms. Rizzo
  • You may enter the building after practice ONLY for school business such as paying outstanding fines.  Please enter through the main entrance. Do not loiter or “hang around” in the building.
