7th Grade Girls Track Information

2010 Highland Park Middle School

Track Information

We are sorry for any inconvenience but because of the construction of the new track and field at the middle school, all track workouts (7^th grade & 8^th grade) will be before school and at Germany Park. 

Athletes should be prepared to work out in the rain and the cold.  If it is storming (i.e. lightening or hard rain) the coaches will communicate with each other and make the decision to move practice to a middle school gym.  If this decision is made, there will be at least one coach at Germany Park to direct the athletes to the middle school.  All athletes will be expected to attend practice at the middle school in the event of bad weather.  Any other time that a practice is canceled or moved, coaches will communicate with the athletes at least one day prior to the move or cancellation.  Please check e-mails and websites for changes, as well!!!

All athletes will be transported from Germany Park to HPMS by buses.  The school district has allowed for two buses to take 8^th grade athletes from GP to HPMS at 7:20 a.m. and 7^th grade athletes from GP to HPMS at 8:10 a.m.  Female athletes will ride one bus and male athletes will ride another bus.  NO ATHLETE WILL BE PERMITTED TO BE TRANSPORTED FROM GERMANY PARK TO THE MIDDLE SCHOOL IN ANY OTHER WAY BUT BY THE BUSES PROVIDED.  There will be at least one coach on each of the buses traveling to the middle school.
