Parents of Student Athletes: Please review the following excerpt from our Athletic Handbook as a reminder of our attendance policy for athletes on game days: Any team member who misses any part of the day will not be allowed to participate in a game on that date. To participate in practice any team member must be present for 65% of the school day. Prior permission from the school can be an exception to this rule. In order to ensure the safety of the participant, an illness will not be an excusable reason unless medically verified by a doctor or dentist. Only pre arrangements with Administration can excuse any other absence. To pre approve your child's absence on a game day or practice, please contact Heather Richardson, Athletic Secretary 520-720-4781 x107. Sincerely, St. David Schools Athletics Department
