We estimate getting back to HHS around 12:15 am. Uniform Blue Band Polo tucked into khaki shorts. Short (ankle length) socks, athletic shoes (not converse, sandles, etc). An athletic shoe primarily of a neutral color is preferred - we've seen some bright red shoes on the field recently and they stick out!! Dinner Information Bring money for a fast-food dinner in the food court of the Galleria Mall. Student Return / Parent pick up information Please be prompt in picking students up after away games. We will be sending out a REMIND text message with a time of arrival back at HHS once we depart Spain Park. Parents: Please park in parking spots in the parking lot off of Billie Watkins and wait for your student to come to you or get out of your car and meet them. Parking in the bus loop or on Billie Watkins St. creates a problem for buses getting in as well as a safety issue for students late at night. If you are not receiving our REMIND text messages, follow these instructions: Send a text message to the number 81010 In the text message write:
Transportation For away games, students are required to ride the bus to and from the game. If there is a extenuating circumstance that would necessitate them leaving early for a game or riding home with a parent, please email a director prior to the game. Students must always check out with a director prior to leaving with a parent. Students that take the ACT/SAT on a Saturday morning are welcome to check out AFTER halftime of the Friday night game the night before the test.
