Dear Raider Families,
As we prepare for another exciting year of athletics, we want to thank you for your ongoing support of our student-athletes, coaches, and programs.
Due to the rising operational costs of hosting athletic events, general single-game admission prices for the 2026–2027 school year will increase by $1, making regular single-game tickets $8 per person.
However, thanks to the immense generosity of our athletic donors and community partners, we are thrilled to announce several new opportunities to keep our games accessible and affordable for families and students:
🎓 Student Admission Guidelines
High School Students: FREE admission to all home regular-season games, courtesy of our generous athletic donors! (Excludes post-season play and tournament games.)
Middle School Students (Grades 6–8): Can purchase the new $30 Raider Spirit Card. This card grants entry to all home high school regular-season athletic events.
Please note: The Raider Spirit Card is valid for the 2026–2027 school year only, excludes post-season/tournaments, and requires the student to be accompanied and supervised by a paying adult.
These Raider Spirit Cards will be sold at all middle schools.
These cards are not for middle school athletic events.
Elementary Students (Grades 5 & Below): FREE admission to all regular-season home games.
🎟️ Season Passes (Best Value for Families)
If you plan on attending multiple events throughout the year, our annual athletic passes offer significant savings. Passes are valid for all regular-season home high school athletic events:
Family Pass: $200 (Valid for up to 4 family members)
Individual Pass: $80
Passes WILL NOT be sold at the gate.
Passes must be purchased at least 24 hours in advance in order for them to be printed and picked up at the next home game. No passes will be issued any earlier than Monday, August 24. Details on how and where to purchase passes will be sent out early next week.
We deeply appreciate your understanding as we navigate increased event costs, and we are incredibly grateful to our donors who made free high school student entry possible.
We look forward to seeing our stands filled with Raider pride this season! Passes can be purchased at Eventlink.
Finally, we are glad to share that tickets for home games can be purchased at the gate using your debit or credit card (credit cards will be charged a 3% fee).
Go Raiders!
Good evening, Polar Bear Families!
We wanted to send out a few reminders as we begin the school year on Thursday, August 13th.
Students can begin entering the building at 7:25 AM. If you are dropping your student off, please enter and exit the parking lot in the south entrance.
For the first few days of school, we are asking all 4th through 8th grade students to report directly to their classrooms upon arrival rather than going through the breakfast line.
This will give our Kindergarten through 3rd grade students a little extra time and space to go through the breakfast line and get settled in. Once our younger students are through the line, 4th through 8th grade teachers will bring their students down to go through the line.
We appreciate your help and cooperation as we work to make the first few mornings as smooth and successful as possible for all of our students.
Finally, any student that turns in all first day paperwork by next Wednesday, August 19th, will receive a free ice cream!
Thank you!
We would like to welcome our newly elected PTSA officers on board!
Jenny Brown - President
Kristin Nunn - Vice President
Danielle Ponder - Vice President
Crystal Crowley - Secretary
Morgan Sexton Treasurer
Congratulations!
