Athletics Update

Volleyball practices and games continue this week and MSS hosts Sr. boys games again on Wednesday.

Our student spectator policy for volleyball will be similar to basketball:

• MSS students who are staying to support our teams are expected to be seated in the main gym and supporting all players in a positive manner.
• Any MSS student who is not supporting in a positive manner and/or disrupting game play will be removed from the gym and will also have their viewing privileges removed for the remainder of the volleyball season.
