Track & Field
Team Donation Fee
Team “Donation” Fee - $25
Given that track and field is a school sport, a mandatory team fee is no longer allowed. However, we still request a donation of up to $25 dollars to cover the cost of replacing jerseys, batons, shot puts, mats, etc… Checks can be made out to Buljan Middle School.

Track Meets
How Track Meets Work
In order for the meets to work, coaches must help at events or finish line. That being said, I like to have a team warm-up before the meet starts; please try to get to the location as soon as possible after school gets out. I’ll have a “base” inside the track at each meet with the following items (schedule of events, list of athletes’ events board and check-out sheet). If you are leaving the meet before it is over, a signature is required with your name, student’s name and departure time.
Track Meets dates Coming Soon…
Transportation
Due to a large number of students, Buljan no longer provides bus transportation to track meets. In the past, parents have arranged carpools to transport students to sporting events. If transporting student-athletes other than your own, the school requires a transportation agreement to be on file in the office (fingerprinting and proof of insurance is required).
