Date:______________ Dear Parent/Guardian: you for your involvement in athletic programs at Prairie Heights Middle School. Athletic participation provides students with unique opportunities and experiences that will directly support this vision. This handbook is intended to clarify how Prairie Heights Middle School values can be reinforced in the area of athletics. Your involvement makes Prairie Heights Middle School stronger and we sincerely appreciate your commitment. Our philosophy at Prairie Heights Middle School is that student involvement in athletics and activities will increase achievement in academics and enhance development of non-cognitive skills (e.g. persistence, responsibility, social awareness, self-respect for themselves and well as for others, etc.), thereby further solidifying each student athlete’s path toward success. Active and positve participation in athletics and activities demands that students adhere to Prairie Heights Middle School values of Consistent Attendance, Positive Behavior, and Excellent Achievement. The demanding and feedback-rich nature of athletics provides students with valuable experiences and opportunities for learning and growth. Our philosophy is not that we are preparing students for success in high school athletics, but we are preparing them to be successful in pursuing whatever dreams they may have, within athletics or in other areas. Please take some time to read the attached Athletic Guidelines. Feel free to contact the school if you have any questions or concerns about the contents. Once you understand and are comfortable with the guidelines, please sign the paper along with your student-athlete, and return it to the coach. – Sincerely, Dr. Dawn Hillman Principal, Prairie Heights Middle School
