Family Handbook 2018-19

Informing Students of Selection Results  Assessment is ongoing throughout tryouts. Results of skill assessment will be shared with students  as a means of feedback on a continuing basis. Students will be encouraged to improve and meet  team standards by the final tryout. Before the first practice (or game), the final selection/team list  will be posted. Whenever possible, the coach will speak with a student personally if she has not  been selected during the team selection process.  If a student is not selected for a team, the coach or Athletic Department will recommend another  team that can accommodate larger numbers (e.g., cross‑country running, swimming, skiing,  snowboarding, track & field and/or skill development opportunities). These opportunities may  include clubs, intramurals, community/club sport programs and sport camps. It is also important to  remember that students not selected for a competitive team will still receive opportunities for skill  development through the Health & Physical Education program.  Practices and Competitions  Schedules are established in advance of the season, although changes may be expected due to  weather and other factors.  ● Practices and tryouts may be scheduled for any day of the week before or after school.  ● Games and tournaments/meets may be on any day, including Saturdays and Sundays.   Athletic Fees  An athletic fee will be charged to help cover the escalating costs of entry fees, transportation,  awards, equipment, uniforms, referees, outside coaches, facility rentals and other costs that are  incurred by the department. Athletic fees range from $50 to $200 per season. Student accounts will  be charged for athletics at the end of each sport season. If a student is provided with a uniform  that they do not return, they will be charged for the replacement cost of that uniform. Students  who qualify for OFSAA championships will be charged accordingly. Additional fees apply for some  sports and students will be charged for required competition uniform pieces (e.g., swimsuit, rowing  unisuit, etc.).  A Havergal team sweatshirt is part of the athletics uniform. This will be provided to students when  they make their first school team for the 2018‑19 school year. This sweatshirt is to be worn when  travelling to and from games and meets and will be charged to the student’s account.
