You may take your child directly to the track meet (please communicate this to your home room teacher) or you may drop your child off at school by 8 am so we can leave by 8:15 am.

We are in need of drivers:
           If you are able to help with driving please let your child’s home room teacher know that you can help out.  We will leave promptly at 8:15am on Wednesday.  Please consider driving a few students to and from the stadium and at BL park in the parking lot and walk in rather than stopping at the curb.  If you would like to drop off/pick up your child at the stadium, please drop off no earlier than 8:45am.  Your student must check in with Mrs. DeGraaf upon arrival.

  • healthy lunch and snacks

Concessions:
Concessions will be limited, bring a lunch and snacks!

Pick up:
For parents that are in attendance, students may leave after the track meet is over and all students have assisted with clean-up.  We expect all students to stay through the whole track meet to encourage others who are still participating in the events. Students need to bring their adult to check out with Mrs. Degraaf at the end of the meet. Student will not be released until they have participated in clean-up. If other pick up arrangements/transportation have been made, please let us know in an e-mail.
