Our kickoff event will look a little different than in years past thanks to Covid. WCPSS requires masks to be worn in all Wake Co buildings.

Each family should bring:
Chairs
Tent (if you have one but not required)
Something for you and your family to eat for lunch
Masks to go indoors
Snacks & drinks for the season if you haven't brought them yet
We will set up outside of the cafeteria in front of the school in the small parking lot (look for the white Millbrook tent)
Coach will have our mandatory meeting with families outside so people don't have to wear masks the whole time we are together.
