All home basketball games will begin at 4:45 p.m. In order for students to attend the games, the parents will need to bring their child to the game. We will not have supervision at school between 3:35 p.m. and the start of the game. Parents are asked to remain with their children during the basketball game. The basketball games are not drop off events, children will not be permitted to stay without a parent or guardian present.
