Good afternoon Tiger Family,
This is an update of our athletic attendance procedures. Tomorrow will be our final football game as we take on the Ridgeland Jaguars. Each student-athlete will be allowed two guests (Parent/Guardian) to attend the game. Our cheerleaders and football players will need to complete the Microsoft Form that was emailed to them from Athletic Director, Coach Brandyburg. Those younger non-school age children that are in the care of a parent/guardian attending the game will be admitted. This contest will be at no cost to our fans. Please be reminded that there is a clear bag policy as well as everyone entering the stadium will be searched and/or wanded. As we move into basketball season, please expect further communication as we share our new attendance procedures for our winter athletic contests.
Dear Allendale County Parents and Families,
Due to the forecast of heavy rains throughout the afternoon, all after-school events and activities will be cancelled today, November 7th. We ask that you please make arrangements for your child to be picked up promptly at the regular dismissal time. Thank you for your understanding, and we will keep you updated on any further changes.
Be safe out there,
Superintendent Dr. Vallerie Cave
