MEDICAL CLEARANCE
Some athletes have not yet been cleared by the HS doctor to practice. ONLY CLEARED ATHLETES WILL BE ALLOWED TO PRACTICE THIS WEEK.
BOYS TEAM PRACTICES: PRACTICE CALENDAR HERE
I am attaching our practice calendar which is subject to change. This includes our tentative meet dates which are subject to change. We are practicing every day this week to reach the 10 practice minimum for our first meet (11 days in). Click HERE for PRACTICE CALENDAR.
PROCEDURE FOR PRACTICE
Facemasks must be worn at ALL times, including while running. Please bring an extra mask in case you lose, break, or soil yours during the day. Acceptable face masks are 3-ply, fit snuggly around your nose and mouth, and secure around the ears. Gaiters or around the neck "buffs" are NOT allowed. Each athlete must wear a watch. Water bottles must be clearly labeled with your name to avoid any accidental sharing.
If you are in-school, please drop your athletic bags in the ISS room, which is near the Nurse's office. DO NOT WANDER THE BUILDING OR VISIT TEACHERS. After-school, report to Gym B to socially-distance yourself from other athletes and work on homework. At 2:45pm a coach will escort you to a room for changing and then head to the track.
If you are not in-school, please arrive by 3pm at the HS Track. Please socially distance yourself on the football field and NOT under the ticket booth area. It is essential for our team to be seen following the rules at all times if we are to continue having a season beyond this week.
Parents: please arrive by 4:50pm to pick up your child from practice to avoid any unnecessary loitering of student-athletes in case we finish up early.
TRANSPORTATION (VERY IMPORTANT)
The school will not be providing transportation this season. Athletes are NOT ALLOWED to carpool with other athletes. If you are going to carpool with another parent, you must have a handwritten note with your parent signature on-file with the Athletic Director. One note will suffice all season.

Yearbook 2021 Wants your pictures
Spring 2020 was a strange one, but even though we weren't able to have a regular season, the staff of the Oriole wants your Spring 2020 photos to include in their 2021 yearbook.
The Goal: To make a collage of all BCHS T&F Spring 2020 team members.
What do we need from you?: A picture of yourself! It can be of you alone or with teammates (from the pre-COVID days)
When do we need it? By FALL 2020 (but Seniors please before you leave for school)
How do we want it? Put your photo(s) (they must be jpeg) in a Google folder and share it with the yearbook account at bchsoriole@bethlehemschools.org
Questions? Contact the Oriole at bchsoriole@bethlehemschools.org
Congratulations to our 2020 Senior Athletes
