The Baseball Meeting is Coming! If you are interested in baseball and are in grades 6-8, be there!
Attention Baseball Players!
There will be a parent and player meeting on Tuesday, July 21 at 5:30 in the CEL gym for boys entering grades 6-8 this school year that are interested in participating in baseball at Chester-East Lincoln School.
The following information will be covered at the meeting but I'm including it in this email ahead of time so parents are aware that these things need to be turned in to our school office in order for a student to participate in an extracurricular activity at CEL
Turn in a current physical (prior to first practice)
Sign a concussion form (prior to first practice)
Pay the $35 activity fee (prior to first game)
Sign a positive sportsmanship agreement (prior to first game)
REGISTRATION IS NEXT WEEK!
Back to school registration is next week on Tuesday, July 21 and Wednesday July 22 from 2-6 pm on both days in the library at NH-M. We can't wait to see you! If for some reason you cannot make either day to register your student, please call the office at 217-445-2421 to arrange an appointment to register your child.
