Concussion SessionAll student athletes and their parents or guardians will be required to attend a concussion education session provided by their respective middle and high schools. Attendance at one of these sessions is required before a student will be allowed to try out for any sport. Participation in the concussion education session is mandated by state law (Virginia Code 22.1-271.5). A concussion is a brain injury that is characterized by an onset of impairment of cognitive and/or physical functioning, and is caused by a blow to the head, face, or neck, or to the body that causes a sudden jarring of the head (e.g., a helmet to the head, being knocked to the ground). A concussion can occur with or without loss of consciousness. Virginia School Systems support the need to ensure that its staff, students, and the community are aware of the seriousness of brain injuries and concussions and how they can affect the student’s abilities in the educational setting. .
Sessions will be held on Sept. 7, Nov. 2, Jan. 10, and March 13. We will begin promptly at 6:30 and please bring a pen. |
AF Book Club?Do you have an idea for another club/ sesion?
We are considering starting up a Book Club at Atticus Finch. Meetings would take place twice a month, during lunchtime. Students will gather in Mrs. G's classroom and discuss books that the club has selected to read, while they have their lunch. Periodically, the club would publish a list of books and comments to recom, which would be posted on the website. Have an Idea for a Group/Club?Contact Mrs. G to find out the details on getting a group started.
