Update

The most up to date roster has been posted, for those of you who have to/will turn in paperwork this week you will not be cleared; this is because nurses are 10 month employees like teachers and are on not working this week. Athletes that are currently away or will be going away for spring break need to email runningmounties@gmail.com with dates and where for attendance/quarantine purposes. 

As stated on the information sheet and in our preseason meeting, three unexcused absences and you will be asked to leave the team. If an athlete must miss or leave early from practice at all, they should send an email to the address above explaining why and date they will be missing. 

Day 1

All athletes should enter the athletic complex at woodman field through the gate in the circle (not the parking lot). If you are getting dropped off get let off on essex avenue or in the circle, parents do not pull into the parking lot. All athletes must fill out the daily screening google form linked to the right the day of practice. If an athlete checks yes for any answer they must STAY HOME, if you are not feeling well DO NOT come to practice. These are not suggestions but team rules and district guidelines that must be followed so that we can have a season and ensure the safety/well being of all athletes. 

Athletes must bring their own water and wear masks. Also, make sure you wear layers (sweats with t-shirt and shorts under) so that after the warm up you can shed if need be. Athletes who are not on the roster may attend the first part of practice for the team meeting however, they will not be able to practice nor stay in the facility until they are. For those of you who aren't cleared and haven't reached out as of yet we will speak tomorrow and do our best to help.

Spring Track

The most up to date roster has been posted, as we receive new clearances the roster will be updated. As stated before the first day of practice will be on Monday April 5th, 9am at woodman field. All athletes must wear masks and bring their own water.

Athletes, if you will be away during the break you must email runningmounties@gmail.com stating how long you are away and location. We need this so that we know you are away and don't just take you off of the roster for missing practice. I stated in the preseason team meeting; three unexcused absences and you will be asked to leave the team and if you haven't showed up at all you will be taken off the roster. 

Following district policies, if you are going to any state outside of the tri-state area (NY, PA, DEL, CONN, NJ) you will need to quarantine upon return. For your reference, here is the travel guidance as recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and New Jersey Department of Health. Just a reminder the school district and Montclair department of health is still requesting a 14 day quarantine upon return.
