Dear Students,

Summer time is almost over and I know your excitement level is increasing the closer we get to registration and the actual start of classes.   To all of you who are coming back to McCormick we can’t wait to see you and to hear all the stories about what fun things you did during your summer break.  To those who are new to McCormick this year we welcome you and will do all that we can to make this year one that you will remember as the best year you have ever had.  Al of our teachers and staff anxiously wait to see you on the 25^th of August.  Here are a few things for you to consider when getting ready for the start of school:

SPORTS:  If you are planning to participate in any of our sports but especially our fall sports, cross country, football, or volleyball, you will need to have a physical completed by your primary health provider before you can practice.  All fall sports begin practice on August 16.  Cross country will practice at 3:00 PM in front of the school, football will practice at 8:00 AM on the football field and volleyball will have practice for 8^th graders from 7-9 AM and for 7^th graders from 9-11:30 AM in McCormick’s gym.   Each sport will have a parent meeting:  Cross country on August 16 at 4:30 after practice, football on August 12 at 6:00 PM in the school’s cafeteria, and volleyball on August 16, at 12:00 noon in McCormick’s auditorium.  If you have any questions please call the school at 771-2650.
