“NO CUTS” POLICY
In elementary school the children’s growth and development are best served when all interested students are allowed to participate in sports. To sustain such a policy, parents must be willing to provide additional help so there are sufficient coaches, supervision, and transportation.
The Sports Booster Club will inform parents if large numbers of students are trying out for a team and enlist their help, in order to avoid cuts.
SPECIAL NEEDS
The principal may, at her discretion, allow a student to participate in after school sports regardless of the participation requirements, if she determines that the benefits to the child justify an exception to the general policy.
SUPERVISION AND TRANSPORTATION OBLIGATION
The Principal, all school staff, volunteer coaches, and parent chaperones/ drivers are responsible for providing adequate supervision of pupils during the entire time they are on school premises or engaged in school-sponsored activities.
Pupils are never to be left unsupervised. Ineffective supervision as well as total lack of supervision may constitute lack of ordinary care required of those responsible.
Pupils are never to be sent on errands outside the school campus. They may leave the grounds or be released from school only at the written request of their parent and may be suspended or expelled for leaving campus without this written permission and official release.
Students who participate in after school activities must be picked up on time. If parents are late, children will be sent to extended care and parents will be charged. Students must follow all Gator Club rules.
The parent/guardian is expected to provide transportation to any event taking place outside normal school hours.
Student Sign-out
Students must be signed out at the end of the day. Coaches are responsible for supervision from 2:45 to 4:30 p.m. (or upon return from a game/practice). If a student is not picked up at 4:30 p.m., the Sports Coordinator or coach will check the student into Extended Care in the auditorium. The parents will be charged from the time of return from a game. Coaches may request longer practices if needed.
Parents may not take their child from the park or game location without informing the coach and signing the child out. Failure to do so may result in the child being excluded from participation in the Sports Program.
GRIEVANCES
Parents may not criticize, upbraid, insult, or undermine the authority of the coach.
If a parent or player has a complaint or concern regarding a coach, he/she should state it in writing and give it to the Sports Coordinator or the PTO representative of the Sports Booster Club.
In any serious matter, the grievance statement should be given directly to the principal
