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. 

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.
