Reminders Regarding Lorain County Invite

Hey Guys:

There are a few things to review prior to today's invitational, and a notice from the Athletic Director, Brent Schremp:

• Dress for the weather! Bring a hat, gloves, dress in layers.
• Eat a healthy and ample lunch. Food = Fuel! Also bring healthy snacks...bananas, crackers, whole grain bread & peanut butter, granola bars are a few examples...and bring water.
• Bring money for concessions...but don't eat that food until after your races.

The Athletic Director would like to emphasize our attendance policy. Students must attend 5 periods in a day to participate in an athletic competition that day. I'm including his reminder here:

C. SCHOOL ATTENDANCE ELIGIBILITY

1. Ohio law requires attendance each day that school is in session. Regular attendance and punctuality are necessary for academic success.

2. Student athletes must be in attendance for five (5) consecutive periods a day to be eligible to participate in athletic practice or interscholastic contests scheduled for that date (for policy purposes, split lunch period (i.e.4/5) is equal to one full period). The only exceptions to this policy are prior approved absences (i.e. funeral, appointment with doctor/dentist, driver’s examination, school-sponsored field trip, administrator’s discretion, etc.).
