Pep Rally will be at 3:00 on Thursday for Jr High and Elementary Students. Parents may attend but will be screened and must wear a mask while in the building. Parents will also sit separate from students and be dismissed from the gym before releasing students back to class. Jr high players and cheerleaders will leave shortly after the pep rally to go to Sidney.
Tonight's game against Lometa will be played in Cherokee at 7:30 p.m. Lometa's field is covered in water and the rain is not letting up.
We will not be passing out tickets but will be taking fee and spectator count at the gate. Please remember that we must follow UIL guidelines. Face coverings are required to be worn and practice social distancing. We want our students to be able to participate in extracurricular events so please help us by following the protocol.
Just a reminder that the UIL mitigation guidelines for extracurricular events state that face coverings must be worn by fans and spectators as described in the Executive Order GA-29. We must also practice social distancing between groups (members of the same household or persons who traveled together to the facility). I want to thank those that have been abiding by these guidelines. We have recently heard of another school that has been called on by UIL for not following the guidelines. We do not want to give UIL any reason to not allow CISD to have fans and spectators at our extracurricular events nor jeopardize our students’ season. Our students and the opposing teams have worked hard and deserve to be able to participate. Please help spread the word to family and friends that plan to attend these events.
Cherokee Indians will be playing in Lometa on Thursday, Sept. 3rd at 7:30 p.m. Masks are required. Seating will be limited to allow for social distancing. May want to bring lawn chairs. Tickets are not required.
***DATE HAS BEEN CHANGED*** School Picture Day is Wednesday, Sept. 23rd at 9 am. We will be taking the following pictures: Individual, Class Group, JH & HS Football & Cheer and Senior Cap & Gown pictures. Don't forget your uniforms!
