Tomorrow's Jr High Football AAA Benefit Game vs Magnet Cove will kick off at 6:30pm. Tickets will be $4 at the gate. Home fans should enter at the new entrance near the south endzone (by the new parking area), and guests should purchase tickets at the stairway entrance by the auditorium parking lot. Since it is the AAA Benefit Game, only AAA passes will be accepted. Fountain Lake Single Season and All-Sports Passes will go on sale digitally later this week. Stay tuned for more details...

Back to School Message! It was great to see most of you at Open House! We are excited to start back to school this Monday, August 16th. Car rider drop-off begins at 7:30 am and pickup begins at 3:00 pm. Our car route is exactly the same as last year except where you enter the campus. You enter the campus about 100 feet past the administration building, where you will see a large green sign that says main entrance. Once you enter there, you will turn right and then you will see the Agri building and go through the high school parking lot, and our line forms like normal. Please see the picture below. If you have a preschooler, you will need to enter through Cobra Drive, pull into the Safe Room B parking lot, and form a line facing Fason Drive. Once the buses have unloaded students around 7:50, you will pull down Fason Drive and drop the preschool students off at the corner of K-1 and form a curve to unload them in front of the office. Last year's transportation was pretty smooth and we are hoping this year is as well. Please be patient with us the first week, while we get all our procedures running smoothly. Our first priority is always to keep your child safe! We look forward to seeing you all on Monday! Mrs. Curry
