ATHLETIC NEWS:
The Baron Athletic Complex's new artificial turf field has been completed on time, and the surrounding six-lane track will also be ready soon. Be sure to save the date and time - Thursday, October 1, 4 pm - for our first home football game against the Covenant School on this impressive multi-sport surface!
Comprised of nine important facilities to be constructed in two phases, the BAC will impact literally every student on campus as it serves lacrosse, football, soccer, track, baseball and golf.
Phase One includes the new artificial turf field, the new six-lane track and a new, much larger parking area made possible by a massive retaining wall that has allowed for increased level ground. All of this has been built on the site of the original football field adjacent to Massey Gymnasium.
Here's the link to the Greene County Record's recent article on the BAC.
BOARDINGWARE: Information about a new online campus sign-out service was e-mailed to parents recently. This service will allow faculty and coaches to sign out students on their mobile devices from anywhere on or off campus. This is not a tracking service. It's just a way to make the sign-out/in process more efficient. It will also streamline the approval process for leaves and vacations as it will be easier for parents to complete the forms online.
Each parent will receive an e-mail from Boardingware with login information as soon as the system is set up and tested.
