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.

#HeedtheRoar
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.
