KSHSAA Buffer Week, Rule 9, goes into effect Monday, 11/10, through Sunday, 11/16.

During KSHSAA Buffer Week, high school athletes cannot access school facilities for workouts, and coaches are prohibited from conducting practices or conditioning. The week provides a break between fall and winter sports seasons, and winter sports practices may begin on the Monday following Buffer Week. Some voluntary non-school-related musical activities may be allowed, but school staff cannot be involved. The Fall Athletic Buffer Week does not eliminate football practice for those high schools who qualify for football play-offs until such time their football season is over.

This rule does not apply to middle school athletes, who may continue with their regular practice and season schedules.

If you have any questions, please contact our District Athletic/Activity Director, Cole Bottom.

Fall is in full swing, and that means daylight saving time will draw to a close and end on the first Sunday in November at 2am, when clocks "fall back" an hour.

Daylight saving time was first established in the U.S. by Congress after the Calder Act, or the Standard Time Act of 1918, was passed more than 100 years ago and was more recently amended with the Energy Policy Act of 2005.

Don’t be early for whatever you have planned for Sunday!

Happy Halloween!

Halloween is an annual celebration on October 31st with origins in the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, which later merged with Christian observances like All Hallows' Eve. Modern traditions include wearing costumes, trick-or-treating, carving pumpkins (jack-o'-lanterns), and decorating. The holiday has evolved to incorporate both a spooky cultural theme and spiritual meanings related to transformation and the afterlife.
