NOT RIDING THE BUS HOME FROM THE MEET?
If your child will not be riding the bus home from the meet on Thursday, a parent needs to email the Athletic Director’s office:  cnewland@pvlearners.net by Wednesday 2p.  They did say that if you don’t get that info in by then, they may be able to work something out, but they may not. If you don’t want to take the chance, be sure to get that email in excusing your child on time.

REMINDER:

BBQ PARTY @ LA PORTE’S before practice on Monday September 5th.  4-6P
5453 E. Danbury Rd.    Scottsdale, AZ 85254. Map Link:  http://bit.ly/nUo1A6

****Also note for the swimmers/divers to bring a t-shirt to tie dye at the bbq.****

CALENDAR CHANGE:

Wolves Invitational originally scheduled for Sept. 10 is now on the 13th / 14th for the divers depending on gender. September 17th (I know, Homecoming dance ) for the swimmers. More details to come.

Location: Chandler High School Aquatic Center.
350 N. Arizona Ave.
Chandler, AZ



FOR NEW SWIMMERS / DIVERS – meet at PHS to catch the bus. The coaches can specify where on campus you need to be, so ask them tomorrow at the Mandatory meeting. Parents – if you want to attend the meet, you will need to drive. The map links are on the calendar that was provided at the team meeting. I have attached an updated calendar with this email.

The Athletic Director is working on providing adequate transportation for the entire team as our team has potentially grown larger than what 1 bus can handle. That being said, he has confirmed that it is acceptable if you as a PARENT want to drive your child TO and FROM a meet, you can opt to do that- BUT – you must send him and email stating what you are doing.  NO KIDS ARE ALLOWED TO DRIVE TO AND FROM A MEET PER LIABILITY ISSUES. If you decide to do this during the season, please follow these guidelines:
Send an email to Corey Newland the Athletic Director to: cnewland@pvlearners.net by Wednesday before a meet by 2p.  You must also CC the coaches on this email so they are aware your child will not be on the bus.  Their emails are as follows:
 Coach Josh      coachjosh.tayrien@gmail.com
 Coach Laura    spinnme38@yahoo.com
 Coach Kelly     gr8teacher@cox.net

FINALLY:

$200 District Fee Payments are ready to be accepted. Unfortunately, the online process is not up and running. Payment will need to be in the form of a check made out to Pinnacle High School and brought to the Athletic Director’s office and given to Louise Gilbert the AD Secretary by September 7. Be sure to note your child and swim / dive in the memo line.
Remember to  turn this in with the tax credit form

Suits are in – to be distributed at Mandatory practice.
Caps – still awaiting delivery.
T-shirts are delayed a little and will be in around Sept. 8th. We will let you know when they come in.

Thank you and have a great week!
