Swedish Kickball starts tomorrow.

Teachers- please let students see which team they have been placed on (see below).  Mr. Nusser created the teams at random.  If you don't know people on your team, this is a chance to get to know some new people.  Tomorrow there will be a map which shows where each team will meet after the first 10 minutes of lunch for their game.  Please show up promptly so ASB can get the games started quickly.  If there is a HUGE issue with your team, ie  someone on your team has bullied you before and you already reported it to the office, please see Mr. N or email him BEFORE Tuesday at lunch.  There will be NO switches once lunch starts on Tuesday.  Good luck.

If you have LOP make sure you report to the LOP Lunch area immediately at the end of Advisory. Do not get lunch or go see your friends. You will be allowed to eat in LOP. 

Please note that "I forgot" or "They didn't come and get me" are not excuses and will result in more LOPs or greater consequences. Thank you for being responsible and reporting to LOP when assigned.

Swedish Kickball Logistics.

Games start today a lunch.  Each team will play at least one game Today, Weds, and Thursday at lunch.  The top 8 teams will qualify for the quarter finals on Friday.  Only students who are playing are allowed on the fields except for the student finals game next Tuesday and the student vs teacher game next Weds.

Students who are playing can be released to lunch 5 mins early so that they can get and eat their lunch first.  Go to your field after the first 10 minutes of lunch.  Games will start soon after the gate to the field is opened. 

To go out to the fields go between the science buildings.  See this picture for where each field is located.
