6. IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING OUR PRACTICES AT THE WESTTOWN SCHOOL:

Athletes and SSJ track families, We have had great practices this week but we have some important information that needs to be shared. The Westtown School track and field facility is wonderful for our athletes; however the school has given us a warning as to how we are to use the track and field track and equipment for our team. These comments are not just for our team but for ANYONE that uses the track and surrounding area. It is important that we all adhere to Westtowns request so that we insure continued use of this great and convenient location for our team practices. PLEASE, PLEASE read carefully and go over again with your children.

1. There is to be no one at any time before, during or after practice on the grassed area of the infield of the track. The school has double seeded the area.
2. There is to be no one at any time lingering arould the large hills going down to the track from the parking lot (that is all the hills leading to the track that are currently netted down with seed).
3. When entering the track we can walk across the top field (by the parking lot) but must ONLY use the concrete stairs next to the field house and the new set of bleachers to access the track.
4. When using the long jump pits please access from the far end of the grass area closest to the pits runways. While waiting for your turn to jump stay off the infield.

Thank you for your attention to these important procedures. Let us all respect the priviledge of practicing at Westtown. We don't want to have to spend our precious practice time policing the areas around the track. Thanks for all the hard work and support that you bring to our team. Coach Shelley Steel

1. WE HOPE EVERYONE RECEIVED THE EMAIL YESTERDAY IN TIME FOR THE CANCELLATION OF PRACTICE. IN THE FUTURE THE EMAIL WILL BE SENT OUT AROUND 4:30PM. IF THE WEATHER IS REALLY BAD ON A SUNDAY FOR A MEET, WE WILL TRY TO GET AN EMAIL OUT TO YOU BY 11:30AM.

2. FINALLY IF YOUR CHILD WILL BE MISSING A TRACK MEET, PLEASE LET ME KNOW ASAP SO THAT WE CAN BE SURE TO HAVE THE ROSTER COMPLETED AND THE LABELS PRINTED FOR THE CHILDREN. THIS TAKES A LOT OF TIME AND PREPARATION AND LAST MINUTE CANCELLATIONS MESS US UP.

THANKS AGAIN FOR ALL OF YOUR HELP AND COOPERATION! HOPEFULLY THE CHILDREN HAVE A FUN TRACK SEASON AND CONTINUE TO IMPROVE ON THEIR OWN PERSONAL RECORDS.
