For those unfamilar with the new attendance requirement for Stevenson 6th-8th Grade Athletics, here is how it works:
>> Students are required to commit to Stevenson Athletics for four days a week: Mon/Wed are generally practices, Tues/Thurs are usually games. Days in which there is no school means there is no sports committment unless otherwise communicated.
>> Students that have outside committments may request a Waiver to be excused from sports for one day a week. That day must be consistent week over week. In other words, a student may request a Waiver for every Monday but not Monday on one week, Tuesday the next week, etc.
>> Students that do not have a Waiver and do not have an excused absence from school will be expected to be present and accounted for on game and practice days or risk being noted as an unexcused absence.
>> Unexcused absences will result in diminished playing time during games. Multiple unexcused absences may result in dismissal from the team.
Also, it has come to the coaches' attention that several students fail to bring the proper attire for practices. Please note that any student not in a P.E. uniform will be designated as "out of uniform" for that day. "Out of uniform" is equivalent to an unexcused absence.
Parents: Stevenson 6th-8th Grade Athletics is in the process of establishing consistency and accountability across all sports. Coaches request your help in assuring that your child is present and prepared to practice, participate and play every day. If your child needs a Waiver, please contact Brooke Higgins. If you have any individual concerns, please direct those to Brooke Higgins or the coach for your sport.
Thanks!
