Information Regarding Early Winter Sports Home Games
As we approach the start of games for our Early Winter sports season, we would like to inform you that the majority of our home games are scheduled to begin at 4:30 PM or 5:00 PM.
Due to the gap between dismissal and game time, students wishing to support the Great Hollow teams must go home at the 2:33 PM dismissal. They are welcome to return for the game only if accompanied by an adult. Please be aware that the adult must stay with the student until the game concludes to ensure transportation home. Late buses are only available at 4:00 PM and 5:00 PM.
We appreciate your assistance and support of our athletic program.
