Homecoming chaos has begun and stress levels increase. Please remind each other that we are new at this, we are a strong team, and we are learning at a great rate. Yesterday's chaotic practice was over whelming. Please remember:
1. JV and Varsity has been practicing as a full team since April with very minor additions.
2. They performed as a team at camp this summer together
3. You have practiced a TOTAL of 5 times, let alone most of you new to the sport
4. YOU ARE DOING MUCH BETTER THAN YOU THINK. Remember to be patient with yourselves. Ask clarifying questions.
I have added a practice based on the vote the team decided on yesterday. Please be here at 7am Saturday morning. Please be awake and eat first. 7am on a Saturday is yucky, but you picked it... I fully support the initiative and am proud of you for asking and recognizing the commitment for such an early homecoming. We will be practicing both inside and outside. I want to use the open gym space to practice the stunts and for you to be spacial aware on the field.
Call with concerns, discrepancies, or conflicts. I have offered to have some bring younger siblings if necessary. Make sure you are communicating with each other for a ride as needed.
Dressing for homecoming week: Please remember that as a leader in the building, it is highly encouraged you cress up each day. Please remember our athletic handbook and student handbook rules on appropriate dress. COVER THE B's: boobs, belly, and butt. I will be a little more kind in telling you to cover up than deans or admin, but this conversation should not have to occur.

** you will not be permitted to leave once we have gathered at 3:30pm for the game. If you forget something, you will sit out until someone can bring it to you.
9/12/15: We no longer have a game, so we will be at the Fitness Festival:This is at Cherry Creek High School, address is on the calendar. Arrive at 7:30am. Wear burgundy uniforms, hair half up/half down with white bow. We will be done around 9am so you have time to rest and get ready for the dance. We all MUST be there as this is a district sponsored event. Plan your appointments for hair/makeup accordingly. This is a good time to remind you that acrylic nails are NOT ALLOWED for safety reasons as well as CHSAA sanctioned rule. If I see them, as pretty and expensive as they are, you will have to remove them and I will make you sit out until it is done.
Academic ineligibility: As we begin our season with games and performances, please remember that grades in the classroom determine the success of you on the team. You must be eligible to participate. Remain proactive with communication in what you need. Attend homework club/study hall to get things done and seek out help. Remember, if you do not sign in and out, I will mark you as NOT attending. Use this time wisely. Be professional in your study hall behavior. This effects everything.
Continue to ask questions. Communication with me and your family is key.
