Basketball Season Gameday Reminders/Changes:
Changes:
In order to use our available accessible parking and avoid congestion in the hallway, we will be using the FEMA entrance this year. Enter through the FEMA entrance, pay admissions in the cafeteria, and then find your seat. For this year's scrimmage, canned food items will be collected in the cafeteria by the gym hallway doors.
The gate by the stairs will be open after the game for fans exiting, but will no longer be open before or during the games.
Reminders:
Admission costs are: $4 Adults, $2 Students, 60+ and 5 and under: Free
Fans will not be able to enter the FEMA building during games.
The Weight Room will be closed during games.
Students in grades 6-12 are able to sit in the student section behind the home bench. The stage is for team managers executing their jobs/duties and school staff working the game only. All other students and children should sit with their families and enjoy the game.
Please share with anyone who may not get our messages. We are excited for another season of Hornet Basketball and can't wait to see you there!

The Booster Club is opening up a winter store, just in time for Christmas! Spirit wear makes a perfect item to gift!
The store will include generic Hornet gear, new track and field gear, and new scholar bowl gear. Baseball and basketball are the same as the fall store, but re-released for the winter store!
The store will be open until NOON on Wednesday, November 18th. Orders will be in before we leave for Christmas break--a textcaster will notify when they are in!

Winter Weather Reminders
Now that we have officially entered November, here are a few reminders about winter weather and the procedures we follow at St. Elizabeth.
First and foremost, the safety of our students and staff will always be our primary consideration. This includes students riding buses, student drivers, and staff members commuting to and from school.
When a weather-related decision is made, we will communicate it first through TextCaster notifications to staff and student families. We will then share the information on Facebook and report it to local media outlets, including KRCG, KMIZ, and KOMU.
With Before Care beginning at 6:00 a.m., we will strive to make all morning decisions by 5:30 a.m. However, we also understand that families need time to make alternate arrangements. Whenever weather conditions and forecasts allow, we will do our best to make a decision the evening before.
We recognize that weather forecasts are not always accurate, and occasionally our decisions may not align with what actually happens. When making these decisions, we will consider several factors, including the anticipated timing of the weather event, the type of precipitation expected, and the level of agreement among multiple forecasts.
A few additional reminders about our procedures:
Early Dismissals: When possible, early dismissals will be announced at least one hour before dismissal.
After Care: After Care will remain open for one hour following an early dismissal.
Bus Routes: Any weather-related changes to bus routes will be communicated directly to the families affected through TextCaster.
Campus Closure: When school is canceled due to weather, the entire campus will be closed unless administration specifically authorizes it to reopen due to improving conditions.
Thank you for your understanding and flexibility as we work to make the safest decisions possible for our students, families, and staff.
