SchoolReach is the automated messaging system used by
Sanborn Central to contact parents and students with important and timely
information. Some patrons have reported missing and aborted calls. There are
now a couple of new ways to see if you’ve missed a SchoolReach call. The first
is a new SchoolReach app for your mobile device. The second is a toll-free
number you can call to hear the most recent message sent out, or all the
messages in the last 30 days. Both of these will only work for those on the
current SchoolReach contact list. Go to the SchoolReach page at www.sanborncentral.com for
instructions on both of these new items.
Reminder: The
Huron Arena has established the following rules in regards to the bleacher
area: The bleachers behind the north basket will be reserved for the tournament
band only and team personnel if space is available. The bleachers on the east
and west side of the main court will be reserved for the spectators of the two
teams playing. The tournament director will designate which side the spectators
will be seated on. The main floor bleachers will be reserved seating for the
teams playing in Sessions 1-2-4-6 (Thursday afternoon and evening, Friday
evening, Saturday evening). After the first game in each of those sessions, the
bleachers will be cleared out so the spectators of the second game in each
session can move into the bleachers. Spectators are asked to exit the bleachers
to the south after the players/officials have exited the floor from the first
game and the players/officials from game two have entered the court for
warm-ups. In other words, you will not be able to save seats in the bleachers
during the game ahead of yours in the sessions referenced above as they will be
completely clearing the bleachers between games. Tournament passes can be
purchased at the Huron Arena, or you can pay per session.
With the basketball tournaments upon us, the Blackhawk
Cheerleaders would like to remind everyone of the following Tournament Rules
that are set by the South Dakota High School Activities Association (SDHSAA).
These rules apply to all district, region and state events.
1. Banners and signs of all kinds are prohibited
2. All types of noisemakers are prohibited
3. Paper confetti and silly string are prohibited
4. Balloons are prohibited
5. Megaphones are prohibited except by a Cheerleader
6. Human tunnels created by students and/or adults are
prohibited
7. Laser pointers are prohibited and will be confiscated
8. Students are asked not to stand on the seats
9. All fans must wear shirts – Body paint is not allowed
for either students or adults
10. The following ARE permitted: Face paint, pennants,
number one fingers, foam noodles, homer hankies, rooter poms, etc.
Please help support our cheerleaders and players by using
good sportsmanship in cheering our teams to a victory. Good luck Blackhawk
cheerleaders, players and coaches!
