/in /by

Good Afternoon Weston Middle School Families,

 

I hope this email finds you well. I would like to tell you about some GREAT NEWS! This Spring we will run a Middle School Track program for all 6th, 7th & 8th graders. This program will meet every Monday, Thursday & Friday beginning on May 3rd on the Proctor Field Track. In addition, we are allowing any 8th grader (only) to participate on our high school teams in the following sports: Boys, Lacrosse, Girls Lacrosse and Softball.

 

As always, each student-athlete is required to register on FamilyID (www.familyid.com) and have an up to date physical on file with our school nurse.

 

PLEASE NOTE: The Weston Public Schools now require ALL student-athletes to weekly pool test for COVID-19. Each sport will have a designated day to test.  Testing will be located in Room 102 of the Middle School. Please register your student-athlete via the following link: Student Covid-19 Testing Notice (1).pdf. Should you have any difficulty registering your student-athlete for pool testing or have a specific health question please reach out to our school nurse Denise Schwerzler at 781-786-5627. All student-athletes MUST test each week in order to be eligible to participate.
