Grading Policy
Grading Policy
The grade in Athletics is based on class effort/participation (75%) and uniform wear (25%). Effort/participation includes assignments, punctuality, following directions, sportsmanship, attitude, and behavior. Both effort/participation and uniform wear will be assessed on a daily basis, which will result in a weekly grade for each category.
Parent Notes for Sickness/Injury
Parent Notes for Sickness/Injury
Parent notes will not be accepted as a reason to miss practice. If an athlete is too ill or injured to practice then he/she must report to the Athletic Trainer or School Nurse at the Middle School or bring a written note from the doctor specifying the illness/injury and the number of days the athlete is to miss.
This comes directly from the Leander ISD Athlete Handbook.
Club Participation
Club Participation
An athlete in-season for any LISD sport shall not participate in club competition at the same time without the campus coordinator's approval. A LISD athletic event should not be missed for a club event. Consequences for missing a LISD athletic event may apply.
This comes directly from the Leander ISD Athlete Handbook.
Locker Room
Locker Room
Lockers and an assigned combination lock will be provided to each athlete. Only the athlete and the coaches should know the combination to the assigned lock. It is the athlete’s responsibility to lock up her belongings during class time. Athletes can only bring items into the locker room that can be locked in their locker. We encourage the athletes to leave book bags and other large items either in the coaches office or in the front of the gym next to the coaches' desk. Athletes who do not show responsibility in the locker room, such as not locking up belongings or leaving clothes lying around, will conference with a coach. Each student must replace his or her assigned lock if it is lost.
The locker room is strictly a technology free area. Cell phones should not be seen out inside the locker room for any reason. The gym is also a technology free area. Computers, cell phones, and other electronic devices are not allowed in the gym without instruction by a coach. Technology devices seen by a coach in the locker room or gym will be confiscated and turned into the front office.
*This comes directly from the Leander ISD Athlete Handbook: Use of audio or visual recording devices, including a cell phone, are not permitted in changing areas, restrooms, showers or locker rooms. Violators may be reported to campus administration, law enforcement or other governmental authorities and could be subject to consequences, including suspension or removal from athletic program.
Items left out in the locker room will be picked up and taken to the school's lost and found location in the FPMS Cafeteria daily. If an athlete has an item that has been lost or stolen, she should immediately report the item(s) to a coach. Action will be taken to recover lost or stolen items.
If injured, athletes can see the trainers at Vandegrift High School during Middle School hour, which is Monday-Friday from 7:00-8:00 a.m. (no Fridays during Vandegrift football season). The Training Room is located in Building 2 at VHS.
