Byron Track & Field
Week of April 16th, 2018
Welcome to Track & Field
Welcome to our weekly newsletter. I will do my best to send out a news bulletin every Sunday night. I will send them to parents emails (provided I have them) and I will post it on the team Facebook page. Attached will be the weekly agenda as well as any meet information for the week. All photos taken during the season will only be posted (not tagged) to Facebook. It is your responsibility to go and tag the photos if you want to "keep" them. Our Facebook page is: Byron Track-Field or simply hit the link below.

**Please Note ~ Our team policy will continue to be IF we have to pull kids out of school early to compete, then ONLY competing athletes will attend. If the bus leaves after the school day ends, then all team members will ride the bus.
If you need to pick up your athlete from a meet - just a reminder that we will ONLY release to a legal parent or guardian. You, the parent, must find either Mr. Schartzer (girls coach) or Mrs. Lake (boys coach) in order to sign your child out.
