A few reminders about our upcoming Winter sports season
If you have not already done so, please make sure there is an updated copy of your sports physical on file in the School Nurse's office.
Every athlete and parent must read sign and return the permission slip and medical release form. These documents can be downloaded from the Forms and Documents section to the right.
Please read/review the Parent / Student Extra-Curricular Handbook
Weekly Practice Schedules will be posted at Minerva and Johnsburg Schools and handed out weekly to team members.
This is a reminder that we may have holidays in winter during the sports season. Practices can be scheduled during breaks so please plan accordingly.
We are all looking forward to seeing some great games and meets.
PRACTICES
Early Practice: A supervised study hall is provided by MCS staff, or in a teacher-supervised homework hall. The school day ends at 2:36. Students are expected to go home at dismissal and return to practice (3:00) or report to the supervised study hall.
Late Practice: (generally 4:45 in Minerva and 4:40 in Johnsburg) All students MUST go home and return at the designated time.
Games: The same guidelines apply to students awaiting the start of home games or transportation to away games.
Behavior: If behavior problems are reported, parents will be called to pick up their child and students forfeit the opportunity to participate in athletics that day. Persistent after-school behavior problems will result in suspension from the team
Athletic practices are held in Minerva and Johnsburg on a rotating schedule. This schedule is developed weekly by the athletic director, posted in both school locations, and handed out to athletes weekly.
