4/7 We are going to CANCEL today - 23 degrees at 6pm and too cold. We DO HAVE PRACTICE. We'll see them after school. Please know also, meets start at 4pm when we do have them during the week - but it depends on how quickly the other schools arrive also. Thank you. The very bottom is the schedule again.
-4/4 Hello : Please know that we are looking ahead to the weather on Monday 4/7, our first track meet. The weather is looking very cold and possibly snow ( WHAT!!??). IF we need to cancel - a parent square notification will go out - and we will have kids call their parents and we will update here as well. We WILL still have practice though. We won't know officially until that day comes and we see how the weather will be for after 4pm. So we might not ( If we do end up needing to cancel) notify anyone until 1:30pm. IF you DON'T hear anything at all, then the meet is A YES. Keeping our fingers crossed it will warm up and the snow will skip us :) . Thanks so much !
4/3 Uniforms were passed out for Frederick students on 4/2 and today 4/3 GMS students will get a track uniform if needed. Please know that you won't see these fee's until next week sometime in Infinite Campus.
If you have given a check or cash already, we have that and once we enter the athletic fee and uniform fee, we will clear it out right away if you have sent in payment already. With 185 total, we are waiting until everyone gets their uniforms too so we just go in one time and assign the fee and uniforms. Thank you so much ! Please join parent square also as the coaches will send messages that way. Frederick we will email you.
Thank you !.
3/31: All meets are 4pm starting time ( this depends on when all schools arrive at the school that is hosting - start time is usually more like 4:15 -4:30pm - although we do strive to start as close to 4pm as possible.
3/19 : We canceled today due to pending inclement weather and teacher conferences. We will see them MONDAY 3/31. PLEASE FILL OUT PAPER WORK. Keep the High School addresses so you know where to drive to for the meets.
Also, many parents are asking how long is a track meet. It depends when we start and how many schools are there. The basic after school meets are about 3 hours. Depending on what event they are in - they can leave after their event - but if they are running and in a field event - then they would be there longer. Girls Run First while boys do field events and then it switches. Giving a time is very difficult. With 100+ kids, not every child will be able to be in every track meet, so if you know they can't attend a meet, they need to let the coach know ahead of time. Thanks ! Sign up for Parent Square - we gave all the kids papers for parents on how to sign up.
3/17 Hope to see you this week if you are done with the play and volleyball! Just let the coach's know it's your first day when we are doing attendance and we'll get you caught up! THANKS !!
3/10: There is not a parent meeting. Info will be given to the kids. A sheet with how to get Parent Square will be given out if you have not signed up for that yet and getting things from Mr. Smith that way. If there are any further questions, there are six coaches, please feel free to come and chat with any of us outside :) We'll be outside at pick up each day. Thank you !
