POSTPONEMENT - THS BASKETBALL - Dec. 8th

Troy High School Basketball @ Troy vs. Hiawatha on December 8, 2020 has been postponed. Hiawatha's Board of Education voted last night to keep Hiawatha in remote learning and therefore no activities or games can take place . A reschedule date at this time has not been decided. We will update that when a decision has been made.

If your student is on virtual learning and you need assistance, please feel free to reach out to our technology department with any questions.

Troy High and Middle School’s third “Kindness Pays” assembly of the school year took place on Tuesday, November 24, sending the students to Thanksgiving break on a positive note. The “Kindness Pays” program asks designated teachers to nominate students who have committed acts of integrity, kindness, and humility during the month. These students’ names are then drawn from a hat, and the winning name receives a gift certificate. All of the names will then go into another drawing at the end of the year with other months’ nominees.

This month, the good deeds for which the students were chosen included helping injured students carry their school supplies, general politeness to office staff, and admitting when one has made a mistake and then making an effort to improve.

The sponsor for November’s “Kindness Pays” program was D.C. Drug, and Troy High/Middle School appreciates the support.

TOPEKA, Kan. - The KSHSAA Board of Directors (BOD) met in a virtual format with all 78 members in attendance on Tuesday to discuss several items pertaining to the winter activity season. The BOD voted in favor to begin the winter activity competition season Dec. 1st and continue through Dec. 22nd before taking a winter moratorium for practice and competition (no practice and no competition) beginning Dec. 23rd.

The winter moratorium usually runs from Dec. 23rd to Dec. 27th however the board took action to extend the moratorium on practice and competition through Jan. 3rd. Practice may begin on Jan. 4th and competition may resume on Jan. 8th. This action was taken for high schools and middle schools.

The BOD also took action resulting in the requirement for all participants (including but not limited to athletes, coaches, officials, spectators, support staff and all others attending/participating in school activities) to wear a face covering in the manner it is intended to be worn while at the event venue and for the duration of the event. The only exception is provided for athletes during the time they are competing and for officials during active play.

· Basketball may have a maximum of 20 games, exclusive of the postseason.

· Swimming and Diving may have a maximum of 10 competitions, exclusive of the state meet.
