We've had a great start to the season — thank you for your support in helping practices run smoothly! To continue providing a positive experience for everyone, we want to share a few reminders about building use during practices — especially at CCES. These guidelines, however, apply to all school locations.

Unfortunately, we received a report of behavior concerns at CCES on Monday night.

In response, we're asking everyone to follow these expectations:

• Arrive no more than 10–15 minutes before your player's practice begins.
• A parent or guardian must supervise siblings at all times.
• If you choose to wait inside, please stay near the front entrance.
• Do not enter other parts of the building, including classrooms or the Media Center.

Please note: We are only authorized to use the gym for SFBA activities. Accessing other areas of the school risks our facility privileges. Let's work together to ensure we can continue using these spaces throughout the season. If we are not allowed to use the facilities, we will not have a season.

We appreciate your cooperation in respecting our school facilities and helping us maintain a safe, welcoming environment for all.

Thank you again for your understanding and support — let's keep making this a joyful season for our players!

Thank you!
