Dear Student-Athletes and Parents/Guardians,

As approved by the Governor's office, Oregon Health Authority and Oregon Department of Education, Jesuit is pleased to offer practices for most sports this fall, beginning Monday, September 14 and running weekdays for 5 weeks. The full schedule is found later in this email.

These workouts are NOT required and will in no way influence eventual team placement during the regular season for each sport. Our primary goals for these sessions are to get students active, allow them to interact safely with their peers and have fun!

There are 3 steps required to sign up for fall practices:

1. For freshmen and juniors, an updated Medical Physical Form must have been turned in to Jesuit.

2. Read and sign the 2020-2021 Student Handbook by Friday, September 11 at 8:00 am, especially section 6.5 on Jesuit's Communicable Disease Policy (a link to the signature form will be emailed to you separately).

3. Register for each sport using the Google link below by Wednesday, Sept. 9.

Key Reminders:

When you sign up, you are committing to all five weeks of workouts.
There are specific check in locations for each workout space. Please carefully note which space (field or gym) to which your group is assigned, and follow the instructions on where to park and check in listed at the end of this email.
MASKS ARE REQUIRED AT ALL TIMES, except during distance running or wind sprints.
Parents and other spectators are not allowed at any workout due to contact-tracing requirements.
Stay home if you have a fever or are experiencing flu-like symptoms or are exposed to anyone with COVID-19. Here are the symptoms from the CDC.
Parents are required to notify Jesuit immediately if their child has participated in any fall workout and tests positive for COVID-19. Please email Mike Hughes at mhughes@jesuitportland.org.

School Attendance – Academic Reminders:

If a student is placed in 8th period for academic reasons (e.g., failure to turn in assignments, etc.), academics will take priority over practices. Students cannot miss 8th period or an extended time test because of athletic practices.
Students must attend classes all day in order to be eligible to practice. If a student misses any part of the school day (other than for a pre-arranged appointment), they may not practice that day.
