while you do it. Tutorials: Unless you are failing or close to failing, you need
to be at practice. Talk to your teachers about being in HR for tutorials.
NBMS practices at the high school and then rides a bus back to school.
TENNIS PRACTICE
We will play matches on Mondays, Tuesdays, or Thursdays with tournaments on some Saturdays in the Spring.
Tuesday and Thursday matches will start at 4:00Saturday matches are at 8:00Players who win challenge matches during practice and who
are high enough on the ladder will travel to matches. Directions to matches can be found on the
Edublogs BMS Tennis Web Site
MATCHES
Players must keep their grade above a 70. Failure to do so for a six week period means that you must go to tutorials. Failing for 2 six week periods could remove you from the team
If you are missing practice for band, you must come after your rehearsal or report to the other athletic course at school to work out.
Tutorials is not for doing work, it is for getting help if you are failing or close to failing, or if you have missed a class and need to get makeup work. Not for doing homework.
GRADES, BAND, TUTORIALS
