Cross Country News from Coach Tamo:

     The Nevada County Athletic League (NCAL) is permitting the cross country season to begin this spring. The season will be 6 weeks long, beginning March 1 and ending April 16. The week of spring break will not have any practices or meets.
     The intention of this survey is to gather team roster information.  Due to COVID guidelines and protocols, the practices and meets must follow strict guidelines.  One in particular is that meets can only be run between two schools.  I need to know the number of students in each grade who are interested in joining the team so we can schedule meets at the coaches’ meeting Wednesday evening.  Due to the strict guidelines, many of the schools who usually host meets will not meet the COVID facility requirements this year.  Because we have fewer venues and can only have two teams per meet, the number of races will be much less.  We are hoping to have at least 4-6 races this season, but that is yet to be determined.  The schools who can host are available on Mondays and Wednesdays, so practices will most likely run on Tuesdays and/or Thursdays. Final practice/meet schedule to be determined after the coaches meeting. Running on your own at home will be encouraged on non-practice days.
    I am sharing all of this with you so you can make an informed decision as to whether running this season is the right choice for your child and family this year.  I am super excited that we get to go out and run, but I want it to be clear that this will not be the same as in years past.  I am determined to have a fun, safe, and exciting cross country season!"
 
Students received a google interest form in the email from Mr. Pless on 2/16/21.  If you have any questions for Ms. Tamo please email [email protected].

Physical Education: Students are going to develop their physical abilities through a movement oriented program. There will not be in-person instruction but rather only distance learning physical education.  We will gain the benefits of physical activity and developing healthy habits together virtually through their Google Classroom.

Google Classroom

This is where you will see the syllabus, assignments, activities, videos and communication.  Students can access this through their google email and going to the waffle (google applications). Please do not hesitate to contact Mr. Griffin through google classroom or email [email protected]. Physical Activity Log (PAL): There will be an activity log put into google classroom and will also be available in hard-copy in the school office.  The PAL will be worth the majority of your grade.  25 Points for each weekly log. See attached. Students will be required to participate in moderate-vigorous exercise for at least 30-40 minutes five days a week. This will vary between required workouts posted in google classroom and student’s choice.
