General Season Information

• Practices will be Monday-Thursday starting between 2:50 and 3pm. We have told your children to be prepared to stay until about 4pm, but there will be days where our practices may go a bit longer or end a bit prior to 4pm. We will be setting up a Google Classroom team roster and will use this, general building announcements, and posts on the bulletin to try to give the team information on changes in practice or meet schedules. At the end of practice, you can pick your child up at either the track, the middle school, or wherever you and your child decide is best.

• Practices are held at the High School track, right past Whole Foods. Each member of the team is expected to change and walk to the track to meet with the rest of the team and the coaches each day there is practice. It is important for each member to understand that once school ends, they are expected to change and be at the track as soon as possible. Most members walk in groups, but it is important to know that they are not to wait for the coaches to organize them and walk them down, the expectation is to meet the coaches at the track on time.

• In order for your children to participate, they will need to have a physical and physical form signed by a doctor and emailed/faxed/handed to the nurses at the middle school. Coaches cannot collect these forms! No child will be allowed to participate in Spring Track without a current physical.

• Your child will also need to be registered via the Wellesley Public Schools online payment system. You can find instructions on how to do this HERE and follow the steps provided. There, you will need to fill out a medical form, emergency contact info, and pay a user fee for the season.

• A schedule for the meets, and all sporting events, can be found HERE . This site is going to be the most up-to-date information for meets, but we plan to have a printed schedule sent home within the next few days. FYI you may use this site to set up notifications for changes in any scheduled meet.

If you have any more questions, feel free to stop by before or after any practice or feel free to contact any coach via emails provided. You can also call MaryAnne McDonald at WHS or email her at mcdonaldm@wellesleyps.org. We hope this answers most questions and look forward to a very enjoyable season!
