C .- lean-,RMS Pee-Wee Cheerleading Merit and Demerit System

in order to create a squad that is responsible, reliable, and honorable, the coaches have decided to set forth a

merit and demerit system for the upcoming 2013 cheer squads. Merits and demerits can be issued by either coach

or spirit-leader and are set in stone. Every cheerleader is responsible for their own actions- no one else.

August 19 will be the deadline for submitting any game date the cheerleader may miss. This is for

weddings, family reunions, or sporting events that has been already committed to. These will be excused if

provided by the deadline. This should be submitted in writing to one of the sponsors. This however does not

included vacations. Vacations are unexcused absences even if planned in advanced.

Excused practices- If you are sick and out of school the day of practice, you are excused from practice. School

reiated events are excused. However, all effort should be made to be at practice even if it is for 30 or 45 minutes

before the school events take place. Example: Chorus concert is on the same night as a practice, if you have to be

at school at 7 please come to practice at least 30 to 45 minutes. Deaths in the family are excused absences.

Absences due to an immediate family member in military service being deployed or on leave from deployment wilt

be excused. Any other reasons will be at the discretion of the board \sponsors. In any event of a missed practice,

please notify your sponsor in a timely manner prior to the practice.

Excused games- Sickness, death in the family, an immediate family member in military service being deployed

or on leave from deployment are excused. If you are sick, please notify the sponsors as soon as possible so we can

make arrangements as needed.

All regularly scheduled doctors, orthodontic appointments, etc, shou ld not be made at practice times

and will not be considered excused.
