are also some important concession, chain, and merchandise volunteer opportunities provided for the games

Grades:
We have been discussing academic grades with the players and will continue to do so this week. We are working
to push everyone to turn in all missing assignments and zeros in the gradebook. Please take time to partner with
us and ask your sons to show you their grades on the Home Access Center (HAC). The end of the six-week
grading cycle is September 18th.
Enjoy the week.
Go Rangers!

Planning Ahead for Homecoming (Jeeps/Broncos/Convertibles &
Truck/Trailers)
This year’s homecoming game is set for Friday, September 18th against McNeil HS. The Homecoming Parade is
a time-honored tradition at Vista Ridge HS. The parade day has been set for Wednesday, September 16th. The
VR Football team is responsible for obtaining vehicles for the school’s royal court in the parade. We need 8
vehicles for the court. Either Jeeps, Broncos, or Convertibles would be best for the parade. If you have one of
these vehicles and would like to be a part of the parade vehicles, please email me. Chad.Scott@leanderisd.org I
will send you the parade agenda, the parade route, and waiver information.
In addition, myself, and the booster club are working on obtaining a few Trucks and Trailers we can decorate for
the parade. These will also be used to hold varsity players or seniors throughout the parade route. If you have a
trailer/truck and are interested, please let me or our booster club president know and we will be in contact with
you. Chad.Scott@leanderisd.org or VistaRidgePresident@gmail.com
Player Game Day Meals:
Player game day meals are ready to order for this week. The deadline to order will be 24hrs prior to your son’s
game. There will be three links: 9th, JV, and Varsity. Remember that 9th & JV meals arrive on sub-varsity game
days and Varsity meals arrive on the varsity game days. All meals will be delivered to VRHS by Jason’s Deli
and the coaches will distribute the meals to those that order one. Each meal box will be labeled with your son’s
name. Please know that this is an optional service that is provided. If players want to bring their own meal that
is fine as well. Should you have any pre-game meal questions please contact Jake.Hinson@leanderisd.org
