If you turned in your permission slip to attend state wrestling, you will receive an orange slip during 4th hour today! DO NOT LOSE THIS SLIP- we will not give new ones. On Wednesday when the announcement is made for students who are going to state wrestling to check out, you will bring that slip to the office and place it in a basket in front of the office door. This will be how you sign out.
If your permission slip indicated that you were attending on Thursday, you are not required to be at school on THursday at all, but if you come to school, please make sure to check in and out with the office.
Lastly- Reminder YOU HAVE to check in at Mizzou arena with Coach Tracey each day you attend, or your absence will not count as school excused.
