Reminders: Coaches are expected to monitor their students. Students will not be allowed in the classrooms until a coach or judge is present.

Students will be able to gather in the commons or high school cafeteria between rounds. Lunch and concessions will be in the middle school cafeteria. This is located just down the hall from the high school cafeteria. Coaches will gather in the high school library and library Annex.  Bus drivers may utilize the faculty lounge and/or the judge’s lounge in the Home Ec. Classroom.
