Hey McCallie Parents and Athletes,

Important info and reminders for our trip tomorrow:

Swimmers and divers can bring their suitcases & swim bags to the weight room tomorrow morning. They will pick them up when they get released to the bus. 

They will be released from class at 10:40am and should collect their belongings and head to the football stadium by 10:50am for us to load up the bus. We will leave at 11:00am with or without you so please be on time. We are on a tight schedule to get divers to their competition.

As a reminder, bring the $15 dollars to the bus for Ruby Falls. The board members will collect it there from you! 

Finally, if you have a 1st, 2nd or 3rd period on your schedule, YOU MUST BE MARKED PRESENT IN YOUR FIRST THREE PERIODS as you will be ineligible for the meet if you are marked absent. Our athletic director has made it clear he is being very strict about this rule. 

We have some Chattanooga Bound t-shirts left over if any parents would like to purchase one! 

Please contact me or our board president Steve Longo and we will give you more information if you are interested. Shirts are first come first served!
