Important Information
All practices and games must occur at the school unless extenuating circumstances that have been approved by the building AD and fine arts coordinator.
Schools will work with the building AD to create a weekly practice schedule. Please submit final schedule to fine arts coordinator.
Wednesday night practices must conclude before 6:30p.m.
All rosters must be submitted to the building activities office and fine arts coordinator
Students must complete activity packet (see AD for information). Students must complete Fenworks enrollment/permission forms.

Information from ITS:
Each building will have a login for the device which has time of day restrictions and then each client (Riot & Epic Games) will need to be signed in to by the student with the K-12 account.
The first time they come to practice, we will want to assign them a computer as we will need to help them setup the games initially, as that download is device & profile specific.
