Trop Training will be held March 9th at SHS. We will have both Orientation and Alcohol Training - at SHS at 7 pm. All who have not received Orientation should plan to attend - but it need not be repeated if you have already been trained. New parents/family members who are over 18 will need the Alcohol portion as well. Alcohol training is good for three years - if yours has expired, please plan to take again to ensure that you are able to work!
Students who are 16, or will be 16, during baseball season are also permitted to take the Orientation training.
