*** PLEASE NOTE THAT THINGS CAN CHANGE BASED ON NEW GUIDELINES AND SAFTEY PROTOCALLS***
PRACTICE: The team practices from 3:00 - 4:45 pm every day. Daily attendance is required. We practice in the rain and snow, so please prepare. Please pick-up your child in front of the building no later than 5:00 pm. Students must notify a coach, in advance, if they are going to miss practice. If you miss a practice, please bring a note from home or send an email by the next practice. If you have to leave early from practice, bring all books and belongings down to the track. Coaches will excuse a student from practice if he or she needs time to catch up on school work. We ask that the student SPEAK to us in advance before a problem develops.
The day before a track meet will be a mandatory team practice. Two un-excused practices will result in suspension from one track meet. Three un-excused practices and or meets will result in dismissal from the team.
TRACK MEETS: Our home track meets will begin at 3:05 pm. All runners are “REQUIRED” to stay until the end of the track meet. A written note must be turned in to Mr. Dumas in advance, if a parent is to take their child home from an away meet. Pick-up times from away and home meets are approximate.
UNIFORMS: Each runner receives a top and must wear black shorts of their choice. These must be turned in following the last track meet. The students are responsible for taking care of their uniforms. Please follow the washing instructions. Each runner is given the option of using his/her own personal lock to secure belongings in the locker room. If a student loses his or her uniform they WILL BE required to pay for a new one.
INJURIES: All injuries should be reported to the coach and trainer immediately. All runners must complete and return the emergency card prior to the first meet.
Behavior
Being an athlete that represents our school includes exhibiting above average behavior at all times. In the opinion of the coaching staff, any participant that exhibits behavior during any of our activities that does not meet regular school criteria - they will be subject to the school discipline code. If the problems continue, after discussion with the parents/guardians, he will be asked to withdraw from the team. The coach deserves the right to remove an athlete from the team.
Peirce Middle School takes the “Middle School Athletic Code of Conduct” very seriously. Please familiarize yourself with the document (link below), and understand that submitting a signed form to the coaching staff is an understanding of the policies, and requirements of the code.
