SCHOOL NEWS:
SPORTS BANQUET
Our annual sports banquet will be held on Tuesday, March 17th at 6:30pm in the gym. We will be honoring all of our athletes for the following sports: cross country, golf, soccer, volleyball, football, wrestling, boys and girls basketball, dance, and cheer. There will be a dinner before the awards presentation. Please bring a covered dish. We will provide ham, rolls, cake, drinks, and table service (plates and silverware).
SPORTS PHYSICALS
Sports physicals will be offered for $10 on Friday, April 17th. Forms will be sent home at a later date. Checks should be made payable to Sullivan Family Practice. We cannot emphasize enough how our students SHOULD get this done at school! Many times our students cannot practice when the sports season starts because they do not have a physical on file. This will eliminate the hassle of rushing to get one completed. DO IT NOW and HAVE IT DONE for the next school year!! It’s cheap and easy.
==========================================
ATTENDANCE – what to do when your child is absent
For your child’s absence to be excused, you must phone in first thing in the morning to the school office 812-398-3851 or email cking@swest.k12.in.us. Also, send in a doctor’s excuse upon return (if they went to a doctor, dentist, etc.). Emailing your teacher is fine as a courtesy to the teacher but the office needs to be called so they can be excused.
