Cross Country for Grades 3-6 students will be starting this Thursday (Sept 30) at 8:30 am.  On Friday, students were invited to take a permission form if they were interested in joining.  Students were asked to have a parent/guardian read over the following letter that has all of the information regarding Cross Country at Rousseau this school year.  Students were told to return the signed form to the school by  Tues, Sept 28.

Here is the letter information in case you need it.

Dear Rousseau Students and Families:

We are excited to offer students in Grades 3-6 the opportunity to participate in Cross Country this year!  Due to the many Covid protocols that are in place to keep our school community safe, it will look different than it has in the past.  There will be no formal meet at the end.  We do hope that getting our students outdoors, doing something active together will contribute to improving their overall health (physical and mental).  We will hold practices on the days listed below from 8:30 – 9:00 am.  All practices will be posted on the Rousseau School website calendar as well.  Please ensure that your child has specific arrangements to be dropped off no earlier than 8:30 am.

***** Please Note: Our first practice is on Thurs, Sept 30. 

Practices:

Thurs, Sept 30, Tues, Oct 5, Thurs, Oct 7, Tues, Oct 12

 For our practices, please meet us on the basketball courts promptly at 8:30, dressed for the weather and to run.  Please also bring a water bottle filled with water. You may want to bring extra socks and shoes as the grass can be damp this time of year. Every morning, students will be asked to wear their mask at the beginning of our practice, as we will be doing some stretches before running to warm up.  Once students start running, they may lower their masks as long as they are all running in the same direction and staying spaced out.  Students will also be asked to hand sanitize upon their arrival to the basketball court.  Lastly, students will be asked to sign in so that we have a record of who has been in attendance.

Thank you so much for your interest in cross country. We look forward to seeing you on Thursday morning full of energy and ready to run! Notification of cancellations will be available on the school website.  Please feel free to contact Mrs. Bennett ([email protected]) or Mr. Middlebrook ([email protected])  if you have questions or concerns.

 

Please complete the form below, and detach and return to Mrs. Bennett by Tues, Sept 28.  Thank you for joining us in our support of student health and well-being,
