Boys Track 2024!

Good afternoon everyone,

If we haven't met yet, my name is David Voland, and I am the head boys track coach. I wanted to reach out about a few things:

• 1st day of practice on Wednesday

• Parent meeting on 1/25

• Team Week at Dick Pond Athletics (for shoes and more)

• I also wanted to send some resources regarding signing up on PowerSchool and ensuring those physicals are turned in (if still needed).

First day of practice: Wednesday, 1/17

Our first practice will take place this Wednesday. We will meet in the cafeteria at 3:00 for a full-team meeting. This will be a required practice for ALL athletes who are not currently competing in a winter sport. It's GO TIME!

Parent Meeting on Thursday, 1/25

Our parent meeting will take place on Thursday, 1/25 from 5:15 - 6:15 in room 224/225. It is required that at least one parent be present. Athletes do not need to come. Even if your athlete is currently in a winter sport, it would be a good idea to send at least one parent to this meeting to learn everything there is to know about the upcoming track season.

Team Week at Dick Pond athletics starts Monday, 1/29

Team week at Dick Pond athletics in Carol Stream is where athletes can get 10% off all spikes, trainers, apparel, and accessories. You can also get $20 in Pond Rewards for every $200 spent, and these rewards never expire. Finally, the team will earn 5% back on every purchase you make. It's a great deal for everyone! We can discuss this more at the parent meeting, but I just wanted to put this on your radar now.

And now for some logistics:

Signing Up on PowerSchool:

According to my records, some athletes on this list still need to officially sign up for Track & Field on PowerSchool. Parents can follow these steps to get athletes signed up. After our initial practice and team meeting on Wednesday, athletes won't be able to participate if they are not officially signed up.

Athletic Physicals are Required:

According to my records, some athletes on this list still need to turn in an updated athletic physical to the athletic office. After our initial practice and team meeting on Wednesday, athletes won't be able to participate if they do not have an updated physical on file. If needed, here is a copy of the blank athletic physical form.

Not planning to do track this year?

This email list of parents and athletes consists of: those who have already signed up for track this season, those who participated in track last year or XC this year, and those who were recommended by other teachers/coaches/staff and/or talked with me throughout the year about being interested in track. if you are no longer interested in doing track, no worries! Please just let me know so that I can get a better idea of what our roster will look like this year.

That's it! Thank you, everyone. Please let me know if you have any questions. Athletes... see you Wednesday in the cafeteria at 3:00!
