There's a lot to unpack here, so let's get started!
First, we've been going in a lot of different directions lately. Let's standardize the way we'll make our communications work going forward so we can all be on the same page.
The last item on your "Swimming/Diving: #TBW" handout says:
Be where you're supposed to be when you're supposed to be there doing what you're supposed to be doing!
I'd like to think we're all doing that, but I cannot be in multiple places at once to monitor y'all when you're unable to be with our group.
From here on out, if you need to miss things like a swim practice for physics tutorial, robotics meeting for a swim meet, swim practice for a soccer game, a band practice for a diving competition, etc.:
- YOU need to communicate schedule conflicts to your teachers, sponsors, and/or coaches in advance,
- YOU should politely ASK permission to alter schedules and/or attend the higher-level event (competitions over practices/meetings), and
- YOU should politely ASK that the teacher, sponsor, and/or coach send notification on your whereabouts (written note, text, or email).
We have not been keeping Coach Williams informed. I should be letting him know when one of his players misses a basketball practice to work on his diving. That's got to change on our end, right?
On the other hand, J.D.P. brought me a written message from a teacher Friday that noted where he'd been and why he was late for practice. Bravo! That's the way it's supposed to be done!!
Let's make sure we work with all our school's teachers, sponsors, and coaches! We've got to make certain each knows how much we value their efforts and cooperation.
This Week
We are still in the "Make three (3) practices per week," early part of our training season, but are offering five (5) practice options for those who want more. We'll start the "Make five (5) practices per week," regular training season soon, but will offer a Saturday option for those who want still more.
Monday
