PRIDE in our Behavior, Learning & Community

GENERAL GUIDELINES:

1. Locker rooms will be available for practices.  If possible, athletes should try and wear their practice clothes and sneakers to school.
2. Athletes are responsible for providing their own water. Water bottle filling stations are available at Clark Lane.  They may NOT be available at tracks during meets. Plan accordingly. 
3. The season runs from approximately week of April 6th-May 31st.
4. A championship meet, for top athletes only, will be held in June.
5. Calendars and other important information will be routinely updated in our Google Classroom. It is your responsibility as an athlete to check the Google Classroom.  
6. As a student-athlete, you are expected to maintain good grades, attendance, and behavior. 

PRACTICES:

1. Practices will typically be held at Clark Lane on Monday, Tuesday & Wednesday after school until 3:45pm and Fridays after school until 4:30pm. Some days may change due to faculty meetings or track meets.
2. We may hold a few practices at the high school. Students would need to be picked up from the high school at 4pm on these days. Notice will be given before these practices occur.
3. Athletes should report immediately to the field house to change when the bell rings.
4. Athletes can take the late bus home Monday-Wednesday or be picked up. On Friday's parent pick up is REQUIRED as there is no late bus. Athletes should be picked up by the athletic fields if not taking the late bus.
5. In case of inclement weather, practice MAY be cancelled or we may have practice indoors in the fieldhouse.  LISTEN for an announcement at school and/or check our Google Classroom. 

MEETS:

We will have 5 meets. Home meets are at Waterford High School.

For home meets: 

• Students will take a bus from Clark Lane to Waterford High School 

• Home meets start at approximately 3:45-4pm and will end approximately 5:30pm-6pm. 

• Spectators are welcome to attend home meets.

• Please DO NOT park in the bus lot. 

• Athletes must have a ride home from Waterford High School upon the conclusion of the meet. 

• Please do not bring pets to track meets at Waterford High School.

For away meets: 

• Students will take a bus from Clark Lane to our away destination 

• Away meets start at approximately 3:45-4pm and will end between 5:30-6pm. 

• Spectators are welcome to attend away meets.

• At the conclusion of the meet, athletes will ride the bus back to Clark Lane and will need a ride home from Clark Lane. 

If you do not wish to have your athlete ride the bus, you MUST fill out the Travel Release Form and submit it to the track coach a minimum of 12 hours prior to the meet. If you wish to transport your child to/from all meets, you may submit one travel release form at the beginning of the season. You will then need to sign out your athlete any time you drive them home from an away meet.
