times

not

it's
raining
at
home.
Do
not
drop
off

there
is a
chance

please
stick
around

be
sure

to
be
added
to
our
urgent
alert
system,
in
the
event
of a

send
a

Distance
Practice
On
the
days
that
we
are
at
Saugus
High
School,
the
Distance
kids
will
meet
at
Central
park
next
to
the
basketball
courts.
(Note
this
applies
to
the
Approved
Distance
athletes,
all
others
meet
at
the
track
at
Saugus).
If
you
have
children
that
have
to
be
dropped
at
both
the
track
and
the
park,
drop
at
the
track
first
at
5:45,
and
then
at
the
park,
do
not
leave
children
unattended!
please
make
sure
there
is a
coach
present
before
you
leave.
Pick
up
at
the
park
first
and
then
the
track.
Until
daylight
savings
begins,
the
Distance
kids
will
be
training
in
the
park.
It
is
just
down
the
street
from
the
high
school
and
a
safe
place
to
train.

Jelly Beans
and Jolly

Parents we
ask that you
bring 2 bags
of jelly
beans or
Jolly
Ranchers.
At the end
of each

give the

jelly beans
as a treat.
For the kids
with braces,
we give them
a Jolly

kids must be
heading out

them.

Urgent Alert
Message System
If you
would
like to
join our
Urgent
Alert
Text
System,
on your
cell
phone
text the
word "STORMTF"
to 41411 and
you
should
be
greeted
with a
welcome
message,
we use
this
system
rarely
for very
important
urgent
alerts,
for
example,
We
cancel
practice
early
due to
unforeseen
circumstances
It's
been
brought
to my
attention
that if
your
using T-Mobile,
you may
have to
contact
them to
have
Text
Message
Blocking
shut off
while
you
enroll.
I
believe
once
your
enrolled
you can
turn it
back on.
Please
be sure
to check
with
your
cell
phone
provider
if you
are
having
trouble
connecting
to our
urgent
alert
text
system.
We will
try to
help
you, but
in most
cases if
you get
an error
trying
to
connect,
I
suggest
you
contact
your
customer
service
and see
if there
is some
type of
blocking
on your
phone
preventing
signing
up for
these
types of
text
systems,
I've
been
told
that
some
games
use text
systems
to bill
your
phone,
our
system
will not
bill
your
phone,
we are
paying
for it.
________________________________________

If you
use
Twitter,
you can

alerts,
1) text

3)
Urgent
text
alerts

I
believe
this
will
work
even if
you
don't
have a
twitter
account.
We do
tweet
out a
link to
our
newsletter
each
week
also, so
