PRACTICE & MEET SCHEDULES Practice schedules will be posted on the Coaches’ teacher web page for specific events. Weather is always a factor in track and we will try to have practice when scheduled as much as possible. If practices or meets have to be canceled we will put information on the teacher web pages as well as sending an email through athletics newsletter when applicable. Meets will most likely NOT be canceled for rain. Track meet days- some students will have early dismissal if they are in a field event that day. All work is required to be made up by the student, preferably by the end of that week.
