Attendance Day of Contest
Students are to be in school the entire day of contests and practices. If athletes are well enough to practice or play, they are well enough to come to school. (Exceptions to this rule and special arrangements for absences must be approved in advance by the building administration, i.e. funerals, prearranged dental and doctor appointments, and emergency situations.)
Purpose
The purpose of the Brandon Schools’ Athletic Program is to maximize student opportunities for participation in a variety of activities to enhance the student’s personal health and develop lifelong skills. Athletic activities should allow for the development of specific skills, leadership qualities, teamwork, and responsibility in competitive and non-competitive events. When appropriate, social activities should be planned to develop student interactions and self-awareness.

- Parent must provide the "Contest Travel Release" form to the Athletic Director.
