Parents of North Middle School Track Participants:
We are excited that your son/daughter has decided to participate in our middle school track program! We would just like to touch base with everyone and answer some of your questions before the season begins.
We are currently experiencing some growing pains and based on student sign-ups we will have record highs of students out for track and field. In order to accommodate the high volume of students we will start with a modified schedule. Coaches are asking athletes to dedicate March 25th to May 9th to Track and make every effort to attend practice and compete.
****PLEASE make sure your child has an updated physical on file at the High School office.
Practice runs on a daily basis from 3:15-5:00. Coaches should be notified as soon as possible if your child will not attend practice. Failure to do so will jeopardize events and participation in Meets.
Students should bring a water bottle and bring clothing appropriate for going outside in South Dakota spring weather. We will make every attempt to go outside. Lockers are available for issue to store items.
Please fill out attached emergency contact information using the following https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdR2_mkpGdkdBFedY0ZYTD9eepq2QUnDChse9-qMO4XFBYE-w/viewform. If you have more than one child please fill a form out for each athlete.

⚠️ We are hearing that the roads in the country are in tough shape, with water going over some of them. This may be a good day for you to consider alternate options of the best way for you to get your children home if you live outside of town. Our buses will travel where possible, but with conditions changing constantly, we cannot guarantee we will get down each road. Please consider your best options under the circumstances.
Interested in Dance Team? See the flyer below for tryout dates and times! 🐯

Reading Across America Week...
Beginning today, ALL 6th grade students started participating in a reading challenge in honor of Read Across America week! We will have daily dress up days and several classrooms may participate in reading challenges and activities throughout the following week.
Students will all be given a form to record the number of minutes they read. Each day students will bring these sheets to their ELA teacher. In order for students to receive credit for these minutes, they MUST have an adult's signature stating they truthfully read the stated amount of minutes. For every 20 minutes a student reads, they will be given a ticket which can be entered into a drawing.
This is where we would greatly appreciate your help! Do you have any connections to possible prizes?!? Restaurant coupons, free meals, gift cards? Or would you be willing to make a donation either as a prize (games, gift cards, school supplies) or a monetary donation? We will be purchasing a variety of prizes to encourage students to read 50,000 total as an entire 6th grade.
If you are able to donate, please send the donation to your child's ELA teacher. We will compile the prizes and purchase more as needed.
We thank you in advance for helping to make this year's reading challenge a success for all students! Please help encourage reading every day!
Thanks,
6th grade ELA teachers
