What should I wear?

• Clothing must meet school dress code (which means shorts are at least finger-tip length and shirts have wide shoulder straps).
• Sun screen, hats, and glasses are suggested.
• Bathing suits are obviously not appropriate for school.
• A watch is useful so that you make it to your events on time.

What should I bring?

• Bring money for snacks and drinks.
• Feel free to bring a beach towel or picnic blanket for "chillin'" when your events are not going on.

What are the lunch plans?

• We will be providing lunch for you.
• All other food/snacks/drinks must be purchased.  Please do not bring large bills.  Ones and change are appreciated.  

Where will team day be located?

• All events will be in the stadium.  You will report to the field with your 1st period teacher at 8:45 AM.
• You may NOT leave the field for any reason EXCEPT with the permission of Mrs. Johnson.  She will have the passes at the snack sales table.
• If you violate any rules, dress in violation of the dress code, or behave in an unsafe manner, you will be  immediately sent to Mrs. Johnson's room for BIR the remainder of the day.  

How do I sign up for an event?

• Sign-ups occur during recess Thursday, Friday, and Monday.  
• You do not have to sign-up with your homeroom.  You can sign up with anyone!  Create your own teams!
• Kickball team sign ups are handled through Mr. Marialke.
• When an event is full, no one else can sign up for that event.
• You may not sign up anyone other than yourself!  
• If an event doesn't fill up, you can just show up at that event on field day and participate.   Students who signed up will compete first and write-ins can compete as there is time or space.
