Teachers and other school staff members want this year to be an especially good one for each child. For this to happen, we all have to work together: students, parents, and faculty. This Student Handbook is designed to help us accomplish this goal. The Alto Middle School Student Handbook is designed to provide a resource for some of the basic information that you and your child will need during the school year. In an effort to make it easier to use, the handbook is divided into two sections: Section I—REQUIRED NOTICES AND INFORMATION FOR PARENTS—with notices that the district must provide to all parents, as well as other information to assist you in responding to school-related issues. We encourage you to take some time to closely review this section of the handbook; and Section II—INFORMATION FOR STUDENTS AND PARENTS —organized alphabetically by topic for quick access when searching for information on a specific issue. Please be aware that the term “the student’s parent” is used to refer to the parent, legal guardian, or any other person who has agreed to assume school-related responsibility for a student. Both students and parents should become familiar with the Alto ISD Student Code of Conduct, which is a document adopted by the board and intended to promote school safety and an atmosphere for learning. The student handbook is designed to be in harmony with board policy and the Student Code of Conduct. Please be aware that the handbook is updated yearly, while policy adoption and revision may occur throughout the year. Changes in policy or other rules that affect student handbook provisions will be made available to students and parents through newsletters and other communications. In case of conflict between board policy or the Student Code of Conduct and any provisions of the student handbook, the provisions of board policy or the Student Code of Conduct that were most recently adopted by the

  • From Football to Rugby—And Back, 1906-1919: the University of California-Stanford University Response to the “Football Crisis of 1905”
    Journal of Sport History, Vol. 11, No. 3 (Winter, 1984) From Football to Rugby—and Back, 1906-1919: The University of California-Stanford University Response to the “Football Crisis of 1905” Roberta J. Park* During the 1890s and early 1900s a debate of considerable proportions raged in the public press, on college campuses. and in educational, literary, and sporting journals over the game of “American Football.”1 The events and incidents, discussions and diatribes which led up to and surrounded what has come to be known as “the football crisis of 1905-06” have been exam- ined by several historians. A number of years ago Moore called the period between 1893 and 1913 “football’s ugly decades” and maintaned that the game reached its nadir in 1905. Lewis has suggested, however. that the American form of the game was so firmly entrenched that in spite of extensive agitation its banishment from college campuses was never a serious threat. More recently Smith has argued that evidence, specifically that concerning developments at Harvard and Columbia. indicates that the future of American intercollegiate football was briefly in jeopardy.2 The old Football Rules Com- mittee was ultimately forced to relinquish its more or less monopolistic hold on the game and new rules were imposed for the 1906 football season. The President of the United States, an avowed devotee of “the Strenuous Life” and the “manly” virtues of vigorous physical activities, insisted that a way must be found to eliminate foul play and intentional brutality so that the game might continue.3 Columbia University abolished football at the end of the * Professor Park is Chairman of the Department of Physical Education, University of California, Berkeley, Berkeley, California 94720.

  • Student-Athlete Handbook 2018-2019
    Palo Alto High School STUDENT-ATHLETE HANDBOOK 2018-2019 PALO ALTO HIGH SCHOOL 50 Embarcadero Road Palo Alto, California 94301 (650) 329-3701 INTRODUCTION The Palo Alto High School Athletics Handbook is a reference guide for coaches, student-athletes and parents, concerning the policies that govern interscholastic athletics at Palo Alto High School. The coach of an athletic team reports to the Athletic Director and is primarily responsible for the compliance by his/her squad members to the rules, regulations, and policies governing athletics at Palo Alto High School. The Athletic Director will administer these rules and regulations as they relate to inter-squad and inter-coach relationships. Sound reasoning, good judgment, and adherence to the school's core values will be the standard by which situations outside these stated rules and regulations are determined and evaluated. Interscholastic athletics is a voluntary program. Students are not obligated to participate and participation is not required for graduation. Thus, competition in high school athletics is a privilege and not a right. Accompanying this privilege is the responsibility to conform to standards established for the high school athletic program. This privilege may be revoked if the athlete fails or refuses to comply with the rules.

  • Hi All, I Hope Everyone Is Having A
    Hi all, I hope everyone is having a restful and enjoyable summer. I am excited to start my new role as Athletic Director and would like to welcome you back to campus for another exciting year of Viking athletics. Our sports program has a long history of excellence that provides Paly student athletes with opportunities to compete at the highest level while also learning sportsmanship, honesty, dedication, and teamwork. We look forward to continuing that tradition this year. The fall season tryouts will officially begin August 14, 2015. Student athletes need to have a physical examination by a licensed physician prior to participating in tryouts. Physicals are valid through the entire school year—which means that one physical during the summer will suffice for all three sports seasons. We use an online processing system (APPRYSE) for physicals and all physicals must be completed using the APPRYSE form. Please visit http://paly.net/athletics for more information and APPRYSE registration instructions. For information regarding tryout information please contact the coach directly. A list of fall coaches is provided below. Paly is about to begin an exciting building program to replace our aging indoor sports’ facilities. Soon, construction crews will demolish our 85-year-old gym and begin an 18- month project to build a world-class athletic complex with two gyms, a new weight room, locker rooms, classrooms and training facilities. Every effort is being made to mitigate the disruption the construction may cause as we eagerly anticipate the completion of the new facilities. Specific information regarding each “displaced” team will be covered at the individual sport parent meetings.
