Athletic Update

The state playoff games will begin next week. We will be using paperless tickets for the games. Information on HomeTown Ticketing is on the athletic website. Also, when dropping off and picking up students from practice or games, the police are asking parents not to park on Conestoga Road as it creates a safety concern. Please use the main lot for drop off and pick up. Congratulations to the girls tennis team for winning the state championship!

Class Parent Organizations & Class Meetings

Each class at Conestoga has a Parent Chairperson, and the parents meet monthly with Administrators and Counselors to get updates on what is happening at school. This is a wonderful opportunity to meet other parents, get information and have your questions answered. Parent meetings will not be held during the month of December but will resume in January 2023.
