Dear Athletes and Parents,
I hope you are all enjoying this wonderful weather. Please take a second to go through the weekly schedule. We have a lot going on this week, two meets and pictures. We will be having practice on Monday during the eclipse. We need to finalize everything for our meet on Tuesday. Please remind athletes they should never look directly at the sun unless they have eye protection.
Also, because of testing on Tuesday student athletes may drive themselves or ride with a parent to the meet. If athletes are participating in Girls Discus, Pole Vault and Long Jump or Boys High Jump and Shot Put please arrive by 3pm. All other athletes need to arrive by 3:30pm. There will still be a bus to and from the meet and the bus will be leaving from the track at 2:30pm. Please use the ABSENCE FORM to indicate if you will not be riding the bus.
