The After School Sports teachers want to stress appropriate behavior during our after school sports time. If your student is unable to act appropriately, there will be some type of consequence. Consequences will range from a time out or to being permanently removed from the After School Sports program. Parents, we are counting on you to discuss this with your child and support our enforcement of rules when they apply to your situation.
Thank you for your interest and support in our After School Sports program. After School Sports will be a positive experience for everyone! If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Thank you!
