Introduction of Coaches
Parent & Coach Communication
Your student’s enjoyment of athletics is greatly influenced by your support and involvement.
Encourage positive conversations with your student after practices and games.
Understand that you may not always agree with decisions made by coaches or officials.
Demonstrate good sportsmanship and respect. Student athletes are affected by the behavior of adults.
If you have concerns, please contact the coach to schedule an appropriate time to discuss them. During a game or immediately afterward is not an appropriate time.
Students Participating in Multiple Sports
If your student participates in multiple sports and you miss a meeting or important information, please contact the appropriate coach with any questions.
Locker Room & Bus Conduct
Students are expected to demonstrate respectful and appropriate behavior at all times.
Change quickly and exit the locker room promptly.
Respect others’ belongings and personal privacy.
Parents are encouraged to discuss appropriate locker room and bus behavior with their students.
Hazing & Bullying Prevention
Please reinforce the importance of treating teammates and peers with respect. Hazing and bullying will not be tolerated.
Activity Participation Form
All students participating in school athletics or activities must have the required participation form acknowledged through Infinite Campus (IC).
The form includes information regarding:
District drug testing policy
Health code and participation requirements
Academic eligibility: Students cannot have an F in the same class for two consecutive weeks.
Possession and sharing of inappropriate images involving minors (Wyoming Statutes 6-4-303 and 6-4-305)
Parents who have not yet completed the form in Infinite Campus should do so as soon as possible.
District Drug Testing Policy
The district’s drug testing policy includes students in 6th-12th grades. The primary purpose of this policy is prevention and promoting healthy, substance-free choices.
Insurance Information
Parents with questions or concerns regarding student insurance forms should contact Jake Rich.
Activity Fees
Activity fees can be paid online through Infinite Campus. Select Fees from the navigation menu to view and make payments.
Activity Bus Schedule
Please review the After-School Activity Bus Information for transportation details and schedules.
Important: Students may not be left unattended at bus stops. Parents and guardians must make appropriate arrangements for supervision.
Traveling With Your Student
If you plan to transport your student to or from an athletic event rather than having them ride school transportation, please complete the required travel form.
Winter Weather Preparedness
Students who ride school buses should be prepared for winter weather conditions, including the possibility of a bus becoming temporarily inoperable or unable to move until assistance arrives.
Students should bring appropriate winter clothing, including:
Warm winter coats
Gloves
Hats
Appropriate winter footwear
The district takes precautions to anticipate, prevent, and prepare for transportation issues, with student safety as the highest priority.
Some athletic gear and equipment will be sent home regularly. Parents are asked to help students keep these items clean using soap and water.
Parents and guardians are encouraged to check school communication channels regularly for schedules, updates, announcements, and important information.
Thank you for supporting SVMS student-athletes and helping create a positive, respectful athletic environment for everyone!
