Attendance Policy 

RULES:

• Athletes are expected to attend all practices.

• All TVL regular season meets are MANDATORY.  Most invitational and post-season meets have qualifying standards and athletes that meet these standards are expected to attend.

• All athletes are expected to stay at all dual meets until the end.  Attendance will be taken at the end of the meet.

• If an athlete has 3 or more unexcused absences throughout the regular season, they are subject to dismissal from the team.

Attendance will be taken at 3:30 daily.  Athletes will check in AND check out of practice.

Unexcused Absences (examples):

• Homework/School Projects

• Tutoring

• Club sport practices/games

• Doctor/Dentist appointment

• Vacations

• Concerts

• Family visits

• Driver's Education Classes/driving hours

• After-school job

We have built in 3 days to miss for reasonable excuses.  Please plan accordingly; the season track schedule is now available and if you can change appointments to avoid conflicts, that would be best.

**If there are extenuating circumstances, email the coach and we will reach out for discussion and consideration on a case by case basis.

Injury Policy:

All athletes are expected to attend and check in to ALL practices.  Once an athlete has checked in to practice, any injured athletes will be allowed to rehabilitate in the weight room ONLY if a coach is available to supervise.  Otherwise,  injured athletes will come to the track after they have been seen by the trainer.

Notes:

• Any student that stays  after school for extra help and arrives late to practice MUST have a signed note from that teacher.

• 2 late arrivals without a note equates to 1 unexcused absence.

• All students must arrive at school by 9:52 a.m. in order to participate in either a practice or a meet that day. A Friday absence or late arrival will need administrative approval in order to participate or attend any weekend school sponsored activities. Students who have a medical or other "excused" absence/tardy are eligible. Medical documentation or administrative approval will need to be obtained ahead of time for this. 

• All athletes are responsible for letting us know ahead of time that they will be late or absent from practice (see instructions below).

• Unless prior arrangements have been made with a coach, athletes must attend practice the day before a meet in order to be put into the lineup for that meet.
