Dear Parent/Guardian and Athlete:
Welcome to the Athletic program at Marengo Middle School. Being a member of a MCMS team carries certain responsibilities. Each student athlete must commit themselves to the tenets of loyalty and dedication. Parent support is a key ingredient in developing a successful young athlete. Both parents and athletes are expected to be positive leaders in promoting good sportsmanship. The administration and coaches would like to thank you for the support you continue to give our coaches and your student. This support allows us to help your child excel as an individual and athlete. The leadership and teamwork skills that athletes learn on the court, field, and track are instrumental as they grow to young adults. These skills transfer to the classroom and to decisions they are making outside of the school walls. It is our goal at MCMS to provide the youth with the opportunity to experience success through interscholastic competition as they develop into mature, responsible citizens. This handbook is provided to give parents and athletes the information required to help them become a successful MCMS athlete. We ask you to read this handbook carefully and discuss it with your athlete as he/she becomes involved in the MCMS athletic program. We invite you to take an active role in our programs as a supportive parent and enthusiastic spectator. It is mandatory that the parents and athlete complete the emergency form, concussion form, and the handbook agreement/insurance waiver form, and have a physical before a student athlete may participate in try-outs, practice or interscholastic competition. If you have any questions, please contact the coach or Athletic Director. Please return these forms to the Athletic Director or office. The administration and coaches would like to thank you for the opportunity to work with your athlete.
Respectfully,
Dr. Lea Damisch Jennifer Arreola Jennifer Turner
Superintendent Principal Athletic Director
