I HAVE READ THE ABOVE QUESTIONS AND ANSWERED THEM TO THE VERY BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE.

 

 

PARENTAL/GUARDIAN PERMISSION

 

By its nature, participation in interscholastic athletics includes risk of injury which may range in severity from minor to disabling to even death.  Although serious injuries are not common in supervised school athletic programs, it is impossible to eliminate the risk.  Participants can and have the responsibility  to help reduce the chance of injury.  Participants must obey all safety rules, report all physical problems to their coaches and/or Certified Athletic Trainer, follow a proper conditioning program, and inspect their own equipment daily.

 

By signing this permission form, we acknowledge that we have read the above information.  Parents or students who do not wish to accept the risks described in this warning should not sign this permission form.

 

“I hereby give my consent for the above-named student,

 

1.      To participate in Vermont Principals' Association approved athletic programs as a representative of South Burlington High School in the athletic activity named above.

3.      To have my child examined or receive emergency medical care by school officials, physician or Certified Athletic Trainer which may become reasonably necessary in the course of such athletic activities or travel.

4.      To have individual student names and sports photos published on the SBHS athletic webpage.

 

I further agree not to hold the school or anyone acting in its behalf responsible for any injury occurring to the above-named student in the proper course of such athletic activities or travel.”
