JV Team for Next Year
Posted on May 21st, 2010
Here is a message we emailed to the JV student and parent email addresses we have (some bounced):
Students and Parents,
Congratulations to you students that were placed on the Junior Varsity team for next school year! As you know, there were many students who tried out for the team, and it was difficult for us to decide where to place students for next year. We have received a few questions already about the JV team and wanted to provide you an update regarding that team.
First of all, we want to point out that the JV and Varsity teams are still subject to change. We anticipate there will be some students (both men and ladies) that will be moved from the JV to Varsity team before the school year starts. Those decisions will be based on how things go during the summer. We have practices and activities planned for the summer and hope students will take advantage of these to improve their dancing and performance. We have not made final decisions regarding who will be moved, so we will be watching the dancers closely to determine who is improving and working hard.
Second, some students have already informed us of some scheduling difficulties regarding the plan to have JV during B4 (Day 2 Period 4) next year. We are still finalizing who the JV coach will be for next year. When the coach has been arranged, their schedule may necessitate a change to a different period or day. For now, we recommend students participate in all practices and activities. When the schedule for next year has been finalized, we can discuss any difficulties that may arise. We will also add all students to the appropriate class period at that time.
We look forward to next year! It will be exciting, with many new team members and a new coach!
Let us know if you have any questions.
