BGHS off-season work philosophy
Since research indicates a student
involved in extracurricular activities has a greater chance for success
during adulthood, BGHS takes pride in offering many programs. Occasionally,
these programs overlap or other activities conduct out-of-season programs
throughout the year. The following information is intended to provide clarification
of off-season work and in-season practice.
These guidelines apply to all BGHS
extracurricular activities — athletics, cheerleading, danz
squad, band, choral, drama and speech.
1. In-season activities should always
take precedence over out-of-season activities. Coaches may not prohibit
students from participating in off-season activity as long as it does not
conflict with the regular season already in progress.
2. No activity director can force a
student to be at an off-season activity.
3. Students are asked to not pressure
other students about off-season work.
Cooperation among activity directors, parents
and participants should always be in the students’ best interest.
If you have any questions or concerns,
please feel free to call.
Conferences and registration
We will once again have high school
registration and parent/teacher conferences on the same nights — Monday and
Tuesday, March 17 and 18. The conferences and registration for the 2008-09
school year will take place in the Rochleau
Center from 3:30-6:30
on both evenings.

Coaching program
The Iowa Girls High School Athletic Union, in

is offering the fourth annual coaching authorization and endorsement
program June 23-27 at Drake
University. The clinic provides the
opportunity for 120 individuals to earn their coaching authorization or
endorsement.
The Athletic Union will pay for all
coursework, books, supplies and meals during the 5-day program. A $20
administrative fee, payable to the Heartland AEA, will be charged to each
participant.
Housing will be available in the Drake University dorms at a reduced rate
throughout the clinic.
Online registration begins Feb. 1 at the
Iowa Girls High School Athletic Union website, www.ighsau.org. The first
120 commitments received will close registration, although a small waiting
list will be held. One hundred percent attendance is required for all
sessions. There are still openings.
