There are many of you that we do not have your Interscholastic Athletic Consent Form… You need to get a form from the nurse or coaches . Fill that form out and get it to the nurse..If you need an actual physical there will not be another exam intil some time in October..That means in order to participate you will need to go to the Work Place and get your physical. This will cost you some money.. Not sure how much..A outside physical by your Dr does not take the place of a school physical for athletic participation.The phone number is …431-8740..

Coach Roth and I would like the captains to be available to attend the orientation  which will be held in the caft.. If anyone else would like to be a part of orientation please let captains know..This is our opportunity to see if we have any interested freshman who may want to give X/Country a try.. We  also have some shirts and ,stickers to sell. Lets get there between 8- 8.30 so that you have time to set up your table.

Thank You

For the rest of the week the boys will practice at 3.30pm..Please be on time..

In our coaches meeting Iwas told by the John Jay administration that at this time there are no after school bus transportation!!! This is a very big deal not only for sports but all after school activities.. If this holds up as being true we have to look at solutioning some X /Country questions”:

1. Will parents be able to pick up at designated stop time?

2. Will parents allow athletes to car pool with other parents?

3. Will parents allow athletes to car pool with other athletes who are able to drive?

4. Do we change  start and stop time to accomadate carpooling? example..instead of going from 2-3.40pm we would go from 3 – 5pm?. Where do the kids go between 2pm and 3pm?

If this is a concern parents should make phone calls to the appropriate district administrator.

We have a lot of questions but very few answers at this time..

We will be scheduling a Parents /Coaches meeting  during the 1st week of school.  Our new Assistant Athletic Coordinator, Dave Seipp would like to attend. It will be a good opportunity to ask questions and maybe get a few answers.  We will be facing many obstacles this year.  The TEAM does not include only the athletes and coaches. This year more than ever we need full parent involvement for our TEAM to be successful.

 The X/Country schedule will be  online by Monday..
