Dear Parent/Guardian,
We are pleased to announce that the Pemberton Elementary School Cross Country season
will begin next week. Cross country is an endurance running sport, with races which are
1 to 1.5 miles in length. Cross Country practice will be held Tuesdays and Thursdays
from 3:30 to 4:15. Tryouts will be held Tuesday, October 6th from 3:30 to 4:15. We will
be taking 25 students for the team! *Students must be picked up from tryouts and
practices no later than 4:25. Two late pickups will result in dismissal from the team.
Students must meet all of the following requirements to be eligible for the team:
 Must have a 2.0 or above GPA
 Can not have any office referrals after October 1
 Must correctly participate in physical education class
If your child meets the above requirements please complete the
permission slip at the bottom of this letter. Students must have a
completed and signed permission slip to attend try-outs. Permission
slips are due to Mrs. Ayd no later than Monday, October 5th.
Sincerely,
Katie Ayd, Lindsay Hatfield, and Michelle Ferre
Students will be closely supervised at all times by school staff. However, with any type
of physical activity there is the risk of injury. Pemberton Elementary School and its staff
will not be held liable in the event of an injury.
