Good morning! All students that are playing 7th - 12th grade sports need to take a baseline concussion test when playing a sport. This is typically done in grades 7, 9, and 11. If you are new to TL-M or did not play a sport in grades 7, 9, or 11 you will need to take the baseline concussion test. Mrs. Schlafmann will be providing time for student athletes to take their test on Friday, August 5th at 11:00; Monday, August 8th at 11:00; and Monday, August 15th at 11:00. I will be at the school, so please contact me if one of the times does not work and we will get you set up to take the short test. I will also work with practice times for football, volleyball, golf, and cross country. Thanks!
