In an effort to maintain appropriate social distancing, spectator seating will be limited for all Hempstead and Senior sophomore/varsity football games this year at Dalzell Field.

All students need to complete the physical packet before they can participate in any sports. Packets can be turned into the main office at any time during the school year. Sports physicals are valid for 13 months from the date of the examination; however, the health intake and concussion forms must be completed each school year. Packets are available in the main office.
Students who had their physicals signed on or after July 1, 2019 have received a one-time extension making them valid through December 31, 2020.

And now we have some reminders from your wellness teachers about clothing for PE class:
· It is highly recommended that you wear athletic attire to school on the days you have gym class. There will be no locker room use until further notice.
· Athletic shoes are required for participation in class activities. If you forget to bring appropriate shoes for physical activity (ex: you wore sandals or open-toe shoes) you will not be allowed to participate. Teachers will have a small selection for borrowing.
· Athletic tops and bottoms must follow school clothing guidelines.
· Students should demonstrate good hygiene after class by using deodorant appropriately and as needed.
· Clothes should be CLEAN and WASHED regularly
Happy Birthday to Lauren Klinge & Trenton Oberfoell!
