Are you going to be absent from practice?
If an athlete is not going to be at practice for any reason, a parent or guardian must notify Della Moore at della.moore@jeffco.k12.co.us in advance of the absence by email. Do NOT simply notify a teammate.
An important component of being on a high school sports team is attendance at practice. At Arvada West, attendance at practice and meets is mandatory for Track & Field athletes.
According to the policy regarding practice in the Jeffco Athlete's Handbook: Team members of all sports are required to attend all scheduled practices and meetings during the established sports season. If circumstances arise whereby the student cannot attend a practice or meeting, the validity of the reason will be adjudged by the individual coach. In all cases, however, the coach must be notified, prior to the practice or meeting missed, by personal contact, phone call, or written statement from the parent or guardian.
Attendance will be taken daily at the beginning of practice by your Coach.
If you arrive late to practice, please make sure to check in with your Coach so they can mark you as present.
