Attn: Parents and Students Another friendly reminder with the rescheduling of the elementary track and field day HHS students will have finals on this day finals on this day. Please remember that students will not be allowed to go outside to the event unless accompanied by an adult. If you would like to sign your student out you must come by the office. If you are attending with your student they are signed out for the day. If you would like them to attend with another adult, again you must call the office and that adult must come to the building to check your student out. Your student will be signed out for the day and cannot come in/out of the building. Example: If you have signed your student out for the day they will not be allowed to enter the building to eat lunch, then return to the track event. This would also apply to going in/out to take a final. If you have questions please call the high school office. Thank you in advance!
