Trips and Meets

1. Athletes are reminded that they represent themselves, our school, and our town. How they behave shapes the impressions of people around the peninsula. Problems with bus behavior or during trips will result in disciplinary action which may include suspension or expulsion from the team.

2. For our trips, we will leave on time. We will travel together going to the meet. The bus will bring us back from out-of-town meets. Phones will be available for students to call for rides at school.

3. Board policy procedure 2151P

Principal/designee may excuse participants from travel to or from practices or contests with the club, team or activity, provided the coach or advisor has been notified of the arrangement and one of the following conditions is met: (1) (both high school and middle school) the participant is riding with his or her own parent/guardian, or (2) (high school only) a parental note allowing the participant to ride with another adult. Participants will not be allowed to travel without adult supervision even if they have a parental note.

Please note, it may be in the athlete's best interest to allow them to ride home with the team even if you were at the meet. Sometimes, an athlete is not satisfied with his or her performance. Riding home on the bus would allow an athlete to decompress and debrief their performance with teammates. It oftentimes takes a teammate's reassurance to put things in perspective. Time on the bus does contribute to team-building.
