Athletic Destinations Lawrence High School Athletic Department Athletic Destinations Room 703 (ISS room) Lawrence High School Athletic Department On Selected Days 3pm to 6pm A Structured Learning Environment for Winter Athletes This winter season, Lawrence High School will be providing an academic support program to help give a structured environment to athletes to work on homework as well as get academic support in their classes from certified LHS teachers. This program, called Athletic Destinations, will take place during the times on the selected dates in room 703. Students should arrive when the program starts each day, but may also arrive late (when their practice ends) and are expected to stay until the program ends at 6pm. If students are going to leave before 6, we ask that the parent/guardian come to the front security desk to have the player excused from the program and escorted to the doors. There will be a certified teacher in the room who will have access to the students grades and assignments to help them stay organized, and the room the program takes place in has many of the textbooks and resources students use throughout the day.

Sportsmanship is KEY Good Sportsmanship is the Cardinal Rule for all Coaches, Athletes, Officials, and Fans Its Just a Game

Drop Off and Pick Up of Athletes Pick up promptly from practices or games Coaches are not expected to stay throughout the night supervising your children, athletes can be removed from the team for multiple late pickups Park in spots, DO NOT line up in front of building

Parent/Coach Relationship Communication from coach will happen throughout the season Each team’s rules, schedules and policies will be shared with players/parents Coaches will not/are not expected discuss strategy or game play with parents Please do not expect coaches to discuss playing time or meet directly after a game/meet. Contact with coaches should start with the players!

Procedures to follow if you have concerns Step 1: Student-athletes should first have a discussion with coach about any issues or concerns Step 2: Parents can make an appointment with the coach to discuss the unresolved issue Step 3: If still unresolved, call Athletics and the AD will meet with the coach, parents, and student-athlete **Please do not attempt to confront a coach before or after a game or practice. Meetings of this nature usually do not promote positive resolutions.
