Again, charges will be handled through the business office.
• Important change for this season: ALL RUNNERS MUST BE SIGNED OUT FROM EACH MEET BY A PARENTS IF THEY ARE NOT RETURNING ON THE BUS. A sign-out log will be kept on a clip board in the team area at each meet. Parents must sign out each runner when leaving. Also, if your child is driving to a meet OR riding home with someone other than his/her own parent, we must have written permission on file. Driving forms are available through the athletic office.
• The varsity runners will have an internal and external requirement for community service this season. More details to come.
• Please plan join us for the 3rd annual Charger Classic this Thursday, 9/10 @ 4PM. Parents are welcome to run with the team or just come to cheer them on! Please plan to stay after the run for our Season Kick-off Team Dinner. All families are encouraged to attend - we are really excited about the season and we're looking forward to celebrating it with all of you!
