Dear Cicero Parents,
Many of you will have athletes playing for the first time this year during the winter sports season. As a new AD, I wanted to offer you some helpful information in order that there are as few misunderstandings or miscommunications as possible. Undoubtedly, some things will be a bit different, and there are bound to be adjustments. Thus, I appreciate your patience and understanding during this transition process. Here are some changes of which you will want to be aware:
Virtually all of the sports information you will need will be posted on our webpage. [
https://ciceroprepathletics.com/
] Hence, all you will need to do is go to our online website to find the information that is relevant to you. I will do the scheduling and the posting; you simply need to collect the information from the site. (A brief word of caution: I do not recommend printing schedules because changes happen often, and calendars will be updated regularly to reflect those changes. Consequently, the best thing to do is consult regularly the online calendar. For this reason, I also recommend that you sign up for alerts.)
There will be no seasonal meetings. Instead, I will send out notices such as this prior to each season. Then, during the first week of practice and after team placements, we will hold an athlete/parent meeting in order to cover the expectations that both I and the coaches have for the program in question.
Ownership is on the athletes. It is expected that athletes know how to access their schedules and know what they contain. Athletes should then be able to communicate that information back to you, the parents. Communication will largely be from the coaches to the athletes (teams) themselves. Your child is then responsible to communicate that information to you. Your child and the website are your primary resources for communication.
I welcome you to contact me personally at any time. It is important to me that I am available to you, and you should feel free to reach out to me whenever you would like. My contact information is available on the website, and my cell phone is the best way to reach me. (My number is posted in the signature of this e-mail.) Of course, I will frequently be out with the athletes attending games and practices, but please know that I always welcome you to contact me. If you leave a message, I will return your call as soon as I am able.
I am currently in the process of uploading winter schedules to our website (see link above). Middle school game schedules will come out in about a week, before the first set of games. Once dates and times are finalized, you will find all of that information on the website.
Many coaches are still being processed through our human resources department and are consequently not yet able to begin practices with students. In the meantime, I will continue to work personally with students by offering open gym times and weight room times. These are open to all, and I will announce them in advance on the website.
I am looking forward to getting to know you and your athletes over the course of the next season. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.
