AUGUST 2014 Update

Housekeeping business: • VERY IMPORTANT! Athletic packets have to be turned in by the first day of school for participation at practice on August 12th. Check to make sure you have TWO doctors’ signatures and freshman, make sure you print your certificate for the brain quiz! How do you turn them in? 1. You can hand them into Nancy Katz or Jay Thomas, who are in the E building (gym), throughout the week during normal school hours. DO NOT drop off the packets to the main office. 2. Or you can give them to me on Monday August 11th (explained below). • Parent meeting. The swim and dive parent meeting will be on SUNDAY August 17th from 1-2 pm in the school auditorium. I will review expectations for the season and share meet and fee information. Bring your checkbooks! ALSO, remember that every family needs to bring one box of snacks (granola bars, trail mix, fruit snacks, pretzels, etc.) and a case of water. Costco is a wonderful source! We will store these in our storage room in the auditorium and use them for meet days. • First practice is on MONDAY August 11th from 6-7 pm. We will NOT get in the water. First water practice will be August 12th from 6:30-8:15 pm. You will not be allowed in the water without your athletic packet turned in. I’m looking forward to a great season! Coach Paige
