Fall Activities Parent/Guardian Meeting
Parents/guardians unable to attend the meeting held Thursday, August 14 can fulfill the requirement for participation by watching the video attached here and returning the signed release form by Wednesday, August 20. No athlete will be allowed to participate in a game or competition until the requirement is met. The purpose of this new requirement for participation is to meet the NSAA requirement that all parents and athletes are aware of the risks that come with participating in extra curricular activities.
A summary of the concussion policy is as follows:
It authorizes and gives authority of coaches and administration to limit return following a suspected concussion or brain injury notwithstanding a doctor's release; a requirement that coaches adhere to the policy and their safety training; a requirement that students and parents honestly report signs of a possible concussion or brain injury. There is also a free 20 minute course on concussions through the NFHS; you can find the link on the NSAA web site.
Please watch this video of the parent meeting and sign/return the Parent Release Form for Concussion Meeting
