Girls' Outdoor Track/Field
Student-Athletes & Parents,
Thank you for attending the Spring Sports Preseason Student-Athlete/Parent Meeting. Below you will find a summary of the topics covered:
- Student-Athletes
- Students FIRST
- Coaches promote a “school first” philosophy
- No penalty for staying after for extra help
- Proper communication with coaches required
- Academics
- Academic Eligibility Policy, page 100-101 (NHHS Student Handbook)
- The spring season starts in the 3rd marking period and ends in the 4th marking period.
- As a result, grades are reviewed twice in the spring season
- Before the season - 2nd MP grades
- A few weeks into the season - 3rd MP Grades
- Before the spring season begins, finalized 2nd marking period grades are reviewed.
- Students are permitted to start the season with 1 F on their report card.
- If students have 2 F’s on their report card, they will not be permitted to participate in the athletic program.
- This process of reviewing final grades is repeated after 2nd marking period grades are finalized.
- Attendance
- Attendance Requirements, page 104 (NHHS Student Handbook)
- Attendance Policy per the student-athlete handbook:
- Athletes are expected to attend all classes on a daily basis. Tardiness to class or cutting of class will not be tolerated. In addition to school sanctions, disciplinary action by the coach may also be appropriate.
- Athletes are required to stay in class for the entire period. If an early dismissal is necessary, all teachers will be informed by the school administration.
- As written in the North Haven Student Handbook:
- In order to participate in a practice or athletic contest, the athlete must attend a minimum of two (2) blocks of instruction. Study halls are not considered instructional blocks.
- Captain’s Presentation on Leadership, Culture, Social Media
- HERE is the overall presentation without “team-specific” slides
- Values/Expectations of a NHHS Student-Athlete
- Represent - Student-athletes, Family, Athletic Program, School, Town
- Acknowledgement Letter
- Once the student-athletes watch the presentation, captains will give each student-athlete this letter.
- The letter should be signed by the student-athlete & parent and returned to the captain/coach.
- After School Supervision Program
- An after school supervision program in the cafeteria has been implemented from 2 PM to 4 PM.
- Student-athletes are not allowed to roam the building or “hangout” as they wait for their practice or athletic competition to start.

Attendance
Attendance is mandatory for all scheduled practices and meets. Communication is the key. In the event you cannot make a practice or meet, you need to communicate directly via email to Coach Jackson and Coach Schreiber Having another player inform one of the coaches about your absence is unacceptable and will be considered unexcused. Absences whether excused or unexcused could result in a reduction of competing time and/or recieving a varsity letter. Our roster is very big this year so consistency is key.
