🏆 ORD TERRACE SPORTS ARE HERE! 🏆
🏀🏃‍♀️🦦 Quarter 1 Sports Opportunities
Dear Ord Terrace Families,
We are excited to offer THREE sports opportunities this quarter! 🎉
🏀 Basketball and 🏃 Running Club will begin NEXT WEEK, so please return your permission slips as soon as possible!

📝 HOW TO SIGN UP

For Basketball and Running Club:
➡️ Return your completed permission slip to the RED BASKET in the FRONT OFFICE.
➡️ Once we receive the permission slip, families will be added to a ParentSquare group for sport-specific updates.
For Otter Squad:
➡️ Please still return the permission slip to the RED BASKET.
⚠️ Returning the permission slip does NOT guarantee a spot on the Otter Squad team. Please review the previous ParentSquare post for information about the tryout/selection process.

⚠️ A FEW IMPORTANT REMINDERS

• Each team/activity has a limited number of spots, so we may not be able to accommodate every student who signs up.
• If your student is already participating in a club and would also like to participate in a sport, please make sure the schedules do not conflict.
• If there is a schedule conflict, please let us know which activity your student prefers. This will allow us to open opportunities for another student who may not have been able to join a club. 💙
