Student/Athlete Uniform Care
Athletes
may be asked to provide or purchase a portion of the team uniform which
they will keep at the conclusion of the season. Individual athletes
will be responsible for the care and return of school equipment issued
to them. Washing/care instructions should be followed. If none are given
on or with the uniform; hand wash in cold water and air dry. Athletes
will be expected to pay for lost or damaged equipment or uniforms.
Please see the Athletic Director or School Treasurer for replacement
costs.
Multiple Activity Participation
At the
middle school level, participation in many activities is encouraged.
However, if a student has extracurricular activities that overlap with
school athletic schedules, that student should select one activity to
avoid future conflicts. If a conflict arises between school athletics
and a club or community team the athlete and parent must understand
that the school team responsibilities take priority. A student may participate in more than one activity as long as it does not interfere with practice or game times.
