| BASKETBALL REGISTRATION Today is the last day to register for basketball. Please register your son or daughter through the School registration system and provide a copy of your child’s Baptismal Certificate (preferred) or Birth Certificate. To register, please go online via our website,http://assumption-school.sportssignup.com/site/ The link can also be found on the Assumption School website, under the “Athletics” tab. You will then be prompted to create a login & password. Once you’ve completed the registration process and paid in full, a confirmation receipt will be e-mailed to you immediately. Athletics at Assumption School has been integral part of our comprehensive school program. It encourages competitive play, while promoting Catholic values, teamwork and sportsmanship. We encourage all students to participate. As you may know, the Catholic school basketball league that our students play in was forced to disband due to several school closings. The Catholic Youth Organization (CYO) of the Diocese Paterson is the only league available if we want to continue to offer basketball to our students. However, CYO has been historically offered to members of the Parish and Assumption School students. Because of these unique issues, the following clarifies our basketball plans for this year: Both Assumption School students and Non-Assumption School students are eligible and welcomed to play CYO.Assumption School students and non-Assumption School students will be combined on a team. There will be no cuts. Our expectation is that the teams will be mostly Assumption School students. If more than 18 register to play, the team may be split based on criteria other than talent. Practices will be held at the convenience of the coach. Accordingly, if a coach wants to practice after school, the non-Assumption School children will be made aware. Only Assumption School students would be eligible to play in school-only tournaments or leagues. For example, when the 8th graders play Villa Walsh or Oratory Prep or the February Frenzy for the younger grades. Accordingly, Assumption School students must register for CYO to be eligible for these games. We understand that there has been some confusion. We hope that this plan is in best interest of our students. ASSUMPTION FALL FASHION SHOW – Thursday, October 17, 2019 It’s almost time for our big event!
