Please plan accordingly

Parents, we understand it is the holiday season and you might have plans which require your child to leave early. If this is the case, as per district guidelines, we require a signed letter from a parent stating this and the reason. When you arrive for pick up you should come to where the team is sitting and inform a member of the coaching staff; if this is not possible then your child will need to stay with the team for the entirety of the meet.
