    • All 7th and 8th grade students will be welcomed to participate as long as they attend on their scheduled days, are compliant with safety protocols and follow the established procedures.
    • Sign-ups and Health Updates will be done through Family ID.
      • We have replaced the Green Athletic Health History/Permission Form with a new online program called FamilyID. This program can be found on the top of the GCMS athletic webpage gardencity.k12.ny.us/.
      • For your child to be cleared to participate you must complete the FamilyID Clearance Forms found on the middle school athletic webpage no later than 10/13/20.
      • These forms contain important health information reviewed by the Health office as well as the mandatory policies and agreements. 
    • There will not be any “tryouts.” We will be able to accommodate everyone that signs up.
    • Daily attendance will be required for students who sign up and participate
      • This serves two purposes: 1) contact tracing and 2) parents have the expectation that their child will be in attendance and accounted for.
    • Participation in this program is completely voluntary and will not have any impact on your child trying out for interscholastic athletics, if we are able to have a season during the 2020-2021 school year.
    • Coaches and Students will be wearing masks.
    • Students must have their own water bottles to drink from. No sharing of water bottles is allowed.
    • Students will be provided with frequent mask breaks.
    • The school will provide all necessary equipment needed. (Only Field Hockey Players will be required to bring their own sticks and goggles)
    • Locker Rooms will not be available for use. Students must wear appropriate attire to school due to not being able to change prior to the activity.
    • After school the students will meet their coaches at the following designated outdoor locations:

    • At the conclusion of the training session, students will be dismissed from the fields to go home, they will not reenter the building. 
    • In the event of inclement weather prior to the end of the school day, we will cancel so that students can still take the bus home or get picked up.
    • In the event of inclement weather after the end of the school day and during activity the students will return to the middle school for sheltering and socially distance in designated locations until their rides come to take them home.
