Elmwood Raider Football - Weekly Update

    Hello, and thank you for such an awesome turnout for our victory over Lingle last Thursday! It was a tremendous effort by all of our players!!! We are getting better every week and working very hard to be our best!! Next week we will be playing Woodland at RHS on Thursday starting at 5:30. It is going to be a great time, and we encourage all to be there and cheer us on! We will not have a 2^nd game vs. Woodland, but we are all (White and Green Team) going to be a part of the game. We are having another exciting Jamboree at RHS stadium next Saturday, Sep. 22^nd. It is going to be a lot of fun as our White Team players get a lot of playing time and face some good competition. We will start at 8:30 and end at 10:30.   Because we are playing at RHS we will have our players meet us at RHS instead of taking the bus to the RHS Jamboree. We will have our players take their game equipment and jersey home on Friday afternoon after practice for the Jamboree on Saturday. They will just make sure to bring back all of their equipment on Monday.

      Next week we will expect our players to complete their Academic Success Sheets. These are designed to help our players keep track of their academic progress in order to be their very best! We stress that school comes first, and that it is highly important to not only complete their school work but to excel.

These are easy to fill out and to complete. It does require a parent signature, a student signature, and a teacher signature. It is the student athlete’s responsibility to check their grades using our online Pinnacle Grade Book feature and to place their grades, any missing assignments, etc. on the sheet. Our students and parents now have access to their Pinnacle Grade Book as they have, or will receive their Pinnacle user name and password. It is a wonderful tool to use in the midst of our busy season and throughout the rest of the school year. These Academic Success Sheets will be due to me by Thursday of next week. It should be plenty of time to complete it.

It is going to be an exciting week as we get better and strive for excellence each and every day!!!!

Thank you for your valuable time and awesome support!!!

Go Raiders!!!
