Welsh Valley Athletics Transportation Policy

Please review the Transportation Policy for home and away games and practices.

Welsh Valley Athletic Transportation Policy

Below you will find our Athletics’ Transportation Policy for the 2013/14 athletic seasons. Please review the policy and contact Megan Kiczek, athletic director, if you have further questions.

AWAY Athletic Contests:

All student athletes are expected to travel both to and from away athletic contests on the assigned school bus with their team. We encourage parents/guardians to make prior arrangements and schedule accordingly to help facilitate this expectation.

If circumstances arise where a student athlete must leave the away contest early and/or be picked up by a parent/guardian at the finish of the away contest; a face-to-face encounter should take place between you, the parent/guardian, and the designated team coach before the student athlete will be released to you.

If someone other than you, the parent/guardian, will be picking up your student athlete from an away contest a written permission note, signed by you, must be received by the designated coach. Please complete the attached form and provide it to the coach prior to the scheduled contest.

HOME Athletic Contests & Practice:

All student athletes are expected to depart campus following a home contest or practice by 5:30p.m.
If a student athlete is NOT utilizing the district 5:30 p.m. late bus, their arranged transportation home must be on campus prior to 5:30 p.m. If the arranged transportation is not present at 5:30 p.m. the assigned athletic coach is to direct the student athlete to take the appropriate district late bus home.

These policies are in place to provide a clear and uniform expectation for each student athlete. Our first priority is the safety of the student athletes; this includes being accountable for each member of our athletic teams during away contests and while on the Welsh Valley campus. Secondly, traveling on the team bus both to and from away athletic contests can foster an important aspect of interscholastic athletics; the relationships and bonds created both on the athletic field and subsequent bus rides during the course of a season with one’s peers and coaching staff.

Thank you in advance for your support and adherence to the above policies.

Respectfully,

Megan Kiczek

WV Athletic Director
