Parent Information
Concession Volunteers Needed – Please Volunteer!
Want to know what’s happening at school? Want to meet other band parents? Concessions is the spot for you! We need every family participating in concessions this season! Our Band Booster organization earns and supports our programs through these sales in so many ways. It takes a small army each week to man the varsity stands! If every family volunteers one time, we will be well suited for these games. Please take a look at the schedule and volunteer for a shift. There are 120 shifts to fill….let’s not wait until we are begging the day of the game to fill these spots! See the Volunteer Opportunities tab to sign up.

**Volunteer Background Check**

The form is on line at the district website and can be reached through the link below. It takes less than 1 minute to complete. Please take the time today to complete this simple form! We are being required to check volunteers against the list, so the earlier the better! So if you are sewing flags, a pit dad, a chaperone, working concessions, or whatever…..you need to do a background check!
