Thank you for your patience in awaiting a time and day for summer practice. I was at the mercy of my Assistant Principal who ultimately has the final say in my practice times in the gym. I heard back today that we will be practicing on Thursdays from 1-5. This will start next Thursday June 21. I have decided to have only one day of practice in the summer so that everyone can take more breaks and vacations. Please try to keep in mind when ever someone is gone an entire stunt group suffers.
Practices will be the following dates in the mini-gym from 1-5:
June 21
June 28
July 5 NO PRACTICE- too many people will be on vacation since the 4th of July is on a Wed.
July 12
July 19
July 26 VERY IMPORTANT THAT EVERYONE IS HERE BEFORE CAMP
Please keep in mind our school is under major construction. I have been told that we may not be allowed in the gym with VERY short notice. which means, practices may be moved, or cancelled at the last minute. This is NOT IN OUR CONTROL. Please note- I will get the information of any changes to the captains as soon as I can.
Camp is July 30- August 2- I will give the girls their permission slips on the first day of practice, they will be due the next day of practice.
August 6-10 is a break from cheer
August 13-16th from 2:30-4:30 will be work week. THIS IS MANDATORY AND NO ONE MAY MISS IT! It was in your cheer packet that was handed out before try-outs in March- so there shouldn't be any conflicts.
August 24th- before school starts is our first home football game.
Please note- I too take vacations and I do so around practices. If I do not respond right away to my e-mail or texts, and phone it is because even I take breaks from cheer :-) I appreciate your understanding of this, as there is hardly a day that goes by that I don't have some cheer business going on!
On the first day of practice we will also fill out rooming lists for camp so be ready girls! You will need to room with members of YOUR OWN TEAM. It helps with bonding.
ATHLETIC CLEARANCE
TO THE GIRLS:
There are MANY of you NOT cleared to practice. The due date I set was Friday June 8th. It is now June 12th. DUE DATES MUST BE MET. Demerits start NOW. If you are not cleared by June 21 when we start practice I WILL SEND YOU HOME AND YOU WILL NOT PRACTICE, you will also get 2 demerits. PLEASE turn in ALL paperwork, not just emergency card, to COACH ARMSTRONG. You may do so by dropping it off in the office and they will put it in his box, or bringing it to him in his office. YOU MAY NOT interrupt football practice and hunt him down on the football field. Due dates are due dates, and THEY MUST BE MET! it is too hard for me to keep track of 43 girls if due dates aren't met.
Please make sure you order the shorts and skort I directed you to in an earlier message. Please Email me any dates you will be absent from practice asap. If work conflicts at any time throughout the year I need a copy of your work schedule in hand to excuse you due to work. Thanks!
I hope everyone is having a great summer and I can't wait to see you!
