Kanawha RedHawks 1st News Update
📣Hello Kanawha Families!
Please take a few minutes to read this full update — lots of important information!
📲 TeamSnap Posts & Communication
• We post updates in both the chat and under the “Posts” tab on TeamSnap.
• Posts do not send a push notification, but they are emailed at the same time.
• To find them later, go to Messages > Posts — this is easier than scrolling through the chat.
🚨 Practice Reminders
• A parent or guardian must remain at the field for the entire practice.
This is for safety in case of early dismissal due to weather, injuries, etc.
🔴 There are no exceptions.
• If your child will be absent, please mark it in TeamSnap under Attendance/Calendar and notify your coach.
