What If Student Is Tracked Out Or Absent?

*Due to short session times, we ask that students NOT come in to the school over their Track Out.*

Students can still participate remotely one time during the week with the assistance of their families. Please record mileage distance traveled in 30 minutes or less. Send name/distance data to cblischok@wcpss.net, Talking Points, or have student bring in data upon return to school. 

The Plan:

1. Meet In Gym: Sign In / Warmup / Light Stretching

2. Back Field / Gym (inclement weather): Run / Walk / Jog / Cool Down / Tally Laps

3. Lobby Area: Sign Out

Distance Tracking: 

• Track and record individual student distances

• Milestone Markers awarded to individuals for: 1 Mile, 5K, 5 Miles, 10 Miles, Half Marathon (13.1 Miles), 15 Miles, 20 Miles, Full Marathon (26.2 Miles), etc.

• Chart distance traveled by Club (a physical map will be displayed in the school and updated weekly)

Inclement Weather Policy:

• Gym will be utilized

• Smaller running groups / times

• Distance still tracked

What To Wear / Bring: 

• suitable for movement

• Properly fitting athletic shoes. The track surface is uneven in several places. (Please, no crocs / sandals / boots!)

• Water bottle (We will stop at restroom and water fountains at beginning / end - not during)

Pick Up:

• Students in Raleigh Parks & Rec. After Care will be returned to the cafeteria.

• All other students will be brought back inside to the Front Lobby for signout.

• Students must be picked up by 5:00 pm. Please walk to Front Entrance to physically sign out your child. (This is a free club that Coach B operates. Please respect his time.) 

Additional Notes:

Please understand that membership in HCES Running Club is a privilege. Any student that demonstrates inappropriate behavior during school/run club, chooses not to participate, or is not picked up on time may be dismissed from the Run Club.  

Method of Tracking: We use the Honor System. The student will pick up a popsicle stick each time a lap is completed. When time is up, total number of popsicle sticks are tallied for individual student.

We will keep a running record of laps completed for each student and distribute Milestone Markers later in the week.

Back Field: 6 Laps = 1 Mile

Gym: 35 Laps = 1 Mile (For safety purposes we will use multiple running groups. This will mean shorter run times on those days)
