Dear Upper School Families, 


We hope you and your family have enjoyed all of the fun things that summertime offers us, including rest and relaxation. We are about a month away from the start of the preseason for Fall Sports and hopefully you have continued to train in some capacity while away from campus. Preseason is the time when teams come together and can focus solely on their sport before school starts back up and classes begin. We want to give a warm welcome to all of our new Lions joining us this year!

 

Below is some important information on preseason practice schedules. Practice schedules are tentative at this time, so we ask that you check with coaches and on the website to see if changes have been made as we draw closer to the start of preseason practice. If you have any questions or need additional information, please don't hesitate to contact me at kjones@saes.org, Dena Saunders, Associate Director of Athletics, dsaunders@saes.org or Laura Lo, Assistant Director of Athletics, at llo@saes.org.

 

PLEASE NOTE: All students must have an up-to-date physical uploaded to Magnus Health in order to participate in preseason practice. Parents/guardians can access Magnus Health by visiting the school website (www.saes.org), clicking “Login” and after entering your credentials, click on the “Resources” tab. Students should not give forms to coaches.

 

I look forward to seeing everyone soon and enjoy the rest of the summer! 

 

Go Lions!


Kevin Jones

Director of Athletics
