The State released guidelines for fall sports this week. The Clarke Activities Department will be meeting with local public health and SCC Athletic Directors this next week to determine exactly how this will look for Clarke and the SCC.
I'm encouraging all students (7-12) who would like to participate in fall sports, to register through the FamilyID online system. This allows us to know who is wanting to play and gives us contact information to share with coaches. Coaches will then get in contact with those that have registered to share information about the upcoming season.
High school practices will will begin on August 10th. Middle school practices will begin once school has started.
