Virtual students: OGMS boys interested in trying out for basketball this year need to join the basketball Google Classroom from your student account. These classrooms are organized by GRADE, so if you're in 5th grade, join the 5th grade Classroom, and so on. 5th Grade: s3v4dl 6th Grade: gqavu3b Once you join the class, you'll find a sign up form and a parent letter that you need to show your parents. Parents, any questions about boys basketball tryouts can be directed to Coach Daniel Davis at dadavis@paragouldschools.net
