Things on our #TBW handout, like taking care of academics before it's too late and, of course:

Be where you're supposed to be, when you're supposed

to be there, doing what you're supposed to be doing!

Notes & Reminders

Our plan to use the Homeroom Enrichment Period for a Swim Video Review Session was nixed, so I instead created a Backgammon Session.  When I saw sport after sport listed with their own sessions, I immediately asked why ours had not been allowed!  OOPS!  Their mistake!  We will be allowed to have our Swim Enrichment Session in the next go-round.

Since our athletes' dry-land clothes are at the pool now, we're going to issue another set this week to keep in athletic lockers on campus.  Whether we're at the pool or on campus during 8th period, the expectation is that all will suit out and participate.  This is how athletes will be graded for the class.

Practice attendance is important!  Check  handbooks and note that 90% practice attendance is one requirement for lettering.

We invited several teams to join us Wednesday for a joint practice and early season Time Trials.  Parents who volunteered to help out with Home Meet Operations can support us by running stopwatches and recording times for the event.

This will not be a "take off early from work & rush to the pool" type event, but we would appreciate any help y'all can provide.

Saturday, we used a combination of parents and athletes to time and that's standard procedure for an exhibition-type meet like Time Trials.

When we put this practice/TT together last spring, it was met with enthusiasm...in recent days, we've gotten word from a few that they won't be attending.  Haven't heard from the others:

Brazosport (out)

Columbia (?)

El Campo (out)

Palacios (out)

Sweeny (?)

Van Vleck (maybe)

Wharton (?)
