PARENT/PLAYER MEETING FOLLOW-UP

I just wanted to make sure to thank all of you again for attending last night's meeting. I can speak for my staff when I say that the parent involvement we have is encouraging to us all. Thank you for your valuable time and attention.

On that same note, knowing how valuable a Saturday night is, and how much we stress punctuality in our program, you have my sincerest apologies that we did not start on time last night. As you know, there are a lot of moving parts to a presentation like that, and it is my fault that we were negligent in beginning the meeting 20-25 minutes late.

That being said, I appreciate you taking the time to listen to our coaches speak about what the program means to them, the players, and our families. I realize that sometimes the message can seem a bit intense, but I can promise you that is because doing this job well means so much to my staff and me (and because I made the mistake of having a meeting immediately after practice--which, apparently, is never a good idea!).

Again, thank you for all you do for our players, families, and Enumclaw Football. We are looking forward to working with you all for many years to come.

GO HORNETS!!!

Sincerely,

Coach Bartel and Staff

NEW CONCUSSION SAFETY POLICY

This is an important message for our football athletes. Late last spring Washington State passed new requirements dealing with preventing concussions. The regulations of these requirements were released in July. As a result of these new requirements, all athletes and their parents must review a concussion information sheet, sign it, and return it to EHS during their sports registration process. This is in addition to our current athletic registration paperwork. All forms must be complete in order for a student to turn-out for any practice. The new form, along with current forms, is currently available in the main office as well as on the high school web site.

CALENDAR UPDATE: FALL PRACTICE

The EHS Football Calendar has been updated to reflect all Fall Practice times. Please make a note as all players are expected to attend all practices and meetings in order to fully participate in game preparation and play in the games.

FOOTBALL CLEARANCE--HORNET DAY

ATTENTION ALL PLAYERS: In order to participate in practice on the first day, you will need to be cleared through EHS prior to the 19th of August. Knowing this, the school has graciously planned a "Hornet Day" specifically for football players and fall athletes on TUESDAY, AUGUST 18 FROM 10:00 a.m. TO 2:00 p.m.

ALL PLAYERS ARE REQUIRED TO ATTEND. IF YOU ARE NOT CLEARED BY THE 19th, IT WILL COUNT AGAINST YOUR TOTAL PRACTICE DAYS MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR YOU TO PARTICIPATE ON THE FIRST DAY OF PADS AND DIFFICULT FOR YOU TO PLAY IN THE FIRST GAME.
