We are excited to announce that the Wheeler High School Athletic Department will be moving to the BAND App as our official Team Communication Platform starting this summer!
To simplify communication, all sports programs will now utilize BAND, so families only need one app to stay connected with their teams. This is for incoming 9th Graders-12th Graders.
If your student is interested in participating in a sport, you’ll find a link below to join each team’s BAND group. Coaches will use the app to post:
Summer conditioning schedules
Practice calendars
Team announcements
Important reminders
...and much more!
📲 Joining your team’s BAND group is essential to stay informed and connected.
