🌞 Important Update: Changes to Baseball and Softball Practices this Week 🌞 Dear players and parents, As much as we love the great outdoors, we also prioritize your safety and well-being. Due to the scorching heatwave expected this week, we've made some adjustments to our practice schedule: 📅 Tuesday: Today's practices will kick off with a 20-minute walkthrough outside. Afterward, we'll move indoors where it's cool and comfortable to continue our training. Hydration is key, so please remember to bring your water bottles! Practice will still end at 5pm. 📅 Wednesday and Thursday: There will be no after-school practices on these days. We understand the extreme weather conditions can be challenging, so we've arranged to utilize our PE time for practice instead. This will ensure everyone stays safe while continuing to work hard on improving our game. Remember, your safety always comes first! Stay hydrated, stay cool, and stay excited about our upcoming games. . 💪⚾️🥎

For a reward for students with good attendance we are going to watch a movie at the Glass Sword Cinema. Here are the details. The reward is for students who missed 0, 1, or 2 days of summer school. If they missed more, they are ineligible for the movie but are welcome to come to school. The movie is the Mario Movie. It is PG. We will need a signed permission slip for your child to attend. After the movie we are returning to school for lunch and fun. Weather permitting we will be playing in the water outside. Please send your student a dry change of clothes if they want to participate in the water action. Dismissal Friday is 3:35 for parent pick ups and 3:45 for buses as usual.

Summer School information! Junction Hill will be renovating its facilities this summer including a major parking lot resurfacing. This will impact summer school drop off and pick up procedures. Parents who are dropping off students for summer school will be directed to enter the school parking loop close to the building and drop off their students at the front door. Parents will then make a sharp left and exit out the driveway. This is virtually the opposite of the normal way and will last through the entirety of summer school. Please see the attached diagram for a clearer picture of this procedure. Also, please note summer school doors open at 7:25, but classes begin at 7:45. This is earlier than the normal school year. Students will be counted tardy if arrive after 7:45. Repeated tardiness during summer school can exclude students from the attendance based summer school reward incentive. Thank you.
