Giving Blood -
If you run events on the track, you've seen workouts posted with ominous sounding titles like Anaerobic Threshold, Maximal Oxygen Consumption (intervals), Anaerobic Lactic power, and so on. With the exception of very short sprints, plyos, and weight training, most of what we do is designed to improve your body's ability to use oxygen to create movement. Oxygen is carried in our red blood cells. Training has the effect of increasing red blood cells and the body's ability to use the oxygen carried within.
Removing blood from your body, removes red blood cells, which limits the amount of oxygen available to power movement. While giving blood is an admirable activity, it effectively negates an athlete's training.
I love that our student-athletes want to help society by donating blood, but doing so during the season will negatively effect performance. Please refrain from doing so. I give blood. I'm happy to do so and I hope that many of you will choose to after your competitive days are behind you.

Parent-Athlete Handbook
From the Monroe Public Schools Parent & Athlete Handbook:
Parental involvement in sporting events and athletics.
Parents should practice sportsmanship as well as their student athletes. Parents need to remember the purpose of educational athletics: to train young people for life, but also to allow student athletes to have fun. Parents can be the biggest role model for student athletes when it comes to their understanding of sportsmanship; therefore, parents should exhibit the qualities of fairness, courtesy and grace in winning and defeat at home or away games and events.
The 24 Hour Rule.
This is a tool for giving "space and time" to allow discussions to occur in a fruitful environment. Parents who are upset with a child are encouraged not to discuss anything about the game, etc., for 24 hours. Twenty-four hours later it may be discussed in a calm manner, without the emotions from the day before, and many times, it just isn't as important as it seemed the day before. Lessons are still taught and learned the next day, but all involved have a better chance of doing so in a more constructive setting.
This rule also works well with parent-coach interactions. If something is bothering you about your child's status on a team, etc., give yourself 24 hours before you contact the coach (You should never contact a coach immediately after a contest). The time will give you a chance to search for different perspectives, which may provide a new way to look at the situation. Discussions with the coach will be much more productive without intense emotions.
Addressing a Concern.
Concerns that may arise will be of two types. First, your student athlete may bring a concern he/she has with the coach or team to your attention. To deal with this type of concern, the best course of action is to be a good listener, and encourage your child to figure out options and try to deal with the concern on his/her own. One of the life lessons learned from participating in athletics is how to deal with challenges. Your student athlete should be able to discuss most issues with the coach on his/her own behalf. The second type of concern may come from you as the parent. Whether you’ve been a sounding board for your student athlete’s concerns, or whether you’ve drawn conclusions on your own, you may at some point feel that you need to contact the coach directly about your child. Please keep in mind that the coach interacts with the student athletes daily and is the best person to relay information to you about what’s going on. In addition, when you ask for a meeting with a coach, it is expected that your student athlete will be a part of the meeting. Since the focus of the meeting will be centered on your student athlete, we believe that athlete needs to be present at the meeting. Getting all parties involved in the discussion will assist in coming up with a plan to address the issue. Once you have met with the coach, if you feel you need to pursue the issue further, contact the Athletic Director. At this meeting it is also expected that your student athlete be present.
TRAVELING TO ATHLETIC EVENTS :
A. Any athlete traveling to an away athletic contest as a member of a team on school owned or approved vehicles, must return to the home school on the vehicle when the contest is over. The only exception is where the athlete's parents have arranged 24 hours in advance to pick up their son/daughter after a contest.
B. Occasionally, athletes ride with adults to nearby tournaments or contests. Athletes may only ride with adults who have been approved by the Board of Education on a private transportation form.
