Cheer Parent Meeting
September 3, 2008
Reminders of Contract Issues• Grades and School Attendance
– Unexcused Absences = benched 1 game– 1+ Fs or 2+ Ds = benched 1 game (or until improved)
• My Space and Face Book– Keep it appropriate – you are held responsible for any photos you are in (this
includes dress and drug/alcohol/smoking)• Drugs and Alcohol
– ZERO TOLERANCE!!! DON’T GET YOURSELF IN A POSITION WHERE YOU COULD GET IN TROUBLE!!!
• Practice/Game tardiness and attendance– 3 tardies = absence– The only excused absence for practices is missing school (excused), a major
medical issue (not routine ortho appt), or school related absence (ex: field trip)– Unexcused absence (or 3 tardies) = benched 1 game
• Making Up Games– You must serve your benched game and then also make it up at the next
possible event• 3 strikes, you’re out!
– Benched from 3 games (for any of the above reasons) and you are off the team – this record will start over again in the winter and then in the spring
