Volume 5: August 20, 2023

Join us at our Parent University and Back to School Dance.
There have been many questions/comments related to changes in the rivalry game that is now scheduled for Thursday, August 17 at 7 p.m.
In response, please note the following:
1. Why did PSD change the game?
Polk School District did not make the decision to change the game. The Officials Association that is experiencing a major employee shortage, like many, informed us of the new date.
2. Why can we not play on Saturday?
We asked if it was possible to play on Saturday. Unfortunately, that was not an option.
3. Can the game not start earlier?
We asked to have the game begin earlier than 7:30. Officials that are available are traveling from all over the state which takes time; however, we were able to back it up 30 minutes to 7:00 p.m.
4. Do we know if any more games will be changed in the future?
No, we were notified Sunday afternoon regarding this week’s change. As of now, they review games and personnel on a weekly basis.
5. We are aware that other teams have conflicting events already scheduled?
Yes, we realize fall is a busy time. Again, we were not given any options related to other available dates.
We realize there are many emotions and expectations that come with this annual event. We, like so many in the community, share in the disappointment that the game has been moved to Thursday. It is an inconvenience related to all that has been planned in anticipation of the big game and regularly scheduled events (spirit days, pep rallies, school picture days, etc.) However, at the end of the day, we have many hard-working players, cheerleaders, and band members that deserve the opportunity to enjoy this game despite all the factors that we cannot control. We appreciate our dedicated fans and stakeholders that empathize, understand, and continue to support our efforts. We look forward to a great game! ❤️🖤💛 Go Dawgs! ❤️🖤🐾 Go Jackets 💛🖤🐝
Reminder: Friday, August 25th is going to be a busy day! Kona Ice, Neon Day, Fab Friday, and Summer Reader Rewards Day!! Are you ready? #fabfriday #konaice

📣📣ATTENTION POLK COUNTY COMMUNITY!🏈🏈
We have an important update regarding the highly anticipated rivalry game between Cedartown and Rockmart this week! The game has been rescheduled to take place on Thursday, August 17th, instead of the initially planned date of Friday, August 18th.
We appreciate your patience and understanding as this change was unavoidable due to the availability of game officials.
