Practices for all UIL Academic events will be held before/after school as determined by the individual coach.  This is typically one 30-minute practice per week.  The schedule is posted above on the "Practice Schedule" tab.

Due to construction and for consistency, all students need to be dropped off in the mornings and picked up in the afternoon in the front of the school.  Please be sure to double-check the event schedule to ensure your student is here on time for the coach to get them from the front.

Event coaches will pick students up at the front doors at their scheduled time.  If a student is running late, they may not get into the building.

Initial sign-ups will be through our Coyote Time teachers or with Mrs. Garcia.
