Dear Cross Country Parents/Guardians,
Hello! I hope you've all had a great summer and I'm looking forward to another exciting year of cross country at The NCLA! We'll be hosting five home meets this year and we'll have a home course to use for practice. I think that will make it much more fun for the students this year. I look forward to watching them challenge themselves and strive for excellence daily!
Please note that all athletic forms must be completed and submitted to Mr. Lake before students are allowed to practice. If you don't currently have all of the necessary forms, you can access them by visiting The NCLA's homepage, looking to the left of the screen under "The NCLA Links" and clicking on "Docs, Lists and Forms," then clicking on "Athletics."
I will be communicating with you often via email, so please check your email regularly, particularly if it's very hot out or if it's raining on a practice or meet day. I have attached a schedule for the season, and this will soon be available on the NCLA website. Please note that practice starts next Tuesday, August 25. Students on the cross country team are expected to participate in all practices and meets unless they are absent from school or I have previous notice from a parent/guardian. Practices are not optional and repeated absences without notice from a parent/guardian will result in dismissal from the team. Please be sure to make arrangements to pick up your children promptly at the end of each practice and meet.
I look forward to seeing all of you and your children soon, it's going to be a great season! Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you and have a great week!
