Your child will be coming home with a student activity pass today. Please note that this pass alone will NOT work for admission into games this year. Your 5-12 student was sent an email from Bound with a QR code. This QR code is what will be scanned at the gate for admission. You may either: 1) Print the QR code and tape it to the back of your child’s pass, or 2) Take a picture of the QR code and show it on your phone at home games. If you have any questions or did not receive the email from Bound, please let Kris in the office know.

Our Opening School Mass will be Wednesday night at 6:00. All new staff, students, and families will be recognized. Iowa State Bank will be grilling burgers for all after mass. Hope to see you there!

For students in grades 5th-12th grades, activity passes included in tuition. The pass will get them into any HOME game for free. For students in grade 4 and below, it's $40. Adults can get one for $185 and for seniors (60+), it's $100. Please bring cash or check to the MS/HS office to purchase.
