Soccer Starts This Week!
Congratulations to the athletes who have recently made the TBR Boys and Girls Soccer teams. Your games start this week! It is important students have a ride to away games as well as a prompt pick-up at the conclusion of each game.
We would love for you to come and cheer on our teams! All home games this year will be at the Our Lady of Assumption field. We ask all spectators to remain in the spectator area on the opposite side from where the team and coaches are situated. Cheering is welcome.
Class Changes this Week
A reminder that today is the beginning of any changes that needed to be made to our schedule. Students can view their updated schedule in Powerschool. Homeroom 8-6 and the previous 8-4 Homeroom schedules were re-printed as they have the most significant changes to their schedule.
We are not making any changes to class lists other than the one class we needed to re-group. With this in mind, we are not taking any additional requests for changes to homerooms. Our priority is to minimize disruptions to the least amount of students possible. We appreciate your patience.
