As a participant in an extra-curricular activity, I am a representative of the Sayreville Public School District to other school districts and the public at large. I understand that due to my participation in such an activity, I am held to heightened standards for my behavior. Because extra-curricular activities are a reflection of our school program, my fellow participants and I must conduct ourselves in an appropriate manner at all times and in all settings. 2. My participation in extra-curricular activities is a privilege. As such, school administration has the right to revoke this privilege and terminate my participation if I do not conduct myself in an acceptable manner. 3. In exchange for the opportunity to represent my school and my District and to take part in one or more extracurricular activities, I agree not to engage in any conduct, on or off school property, which may tarnish my reputation or that of the District. 4. I will comply with all Board Policies governing student conduct, including but not limited to, Policy Nos. 5113- Pupil Attendance; 5131-Conduct/Discipline; 5131.1-Harrassment, Intimidation or Bullying; 5131.2-Pupil Conduct on School Bus; 5131.5-Vandalism/Arson/Violence; 5131.6-Substance Abuse; 5131.7-Weapons; and 5131.8-Dating Violence; and all regulations related thereto. 5.

5 NOTICE OF IMPACT TESTING The IMPACT Test must be taken by all high school student-athletes for the 2016/2017 school year, regardless of prior sports participation or test completion. This test must be taken after May 1, 2016. Please check one of the following: I certify that my son/daughter has recently taken the IMPACT Test online under my supervision. I have attached a copy of the IMPACT Test receipt to this clearance packet. A test type of Baseline ++ on the receipt is unreliable and may result in the test having to be re-taken. A test type of just Baseline is desirable. Date taken: My son/daughter has already taken the IMPACT test for a prior sport for the 2016/2017 school year, after May 1, 2016. Reminder: all students must take the IMPACT test after May 1, 2016 regardless of prior test completion. ONLINE IMPACT TEST PROCEDURES In addition to checking one of the above, I also certify that I ve read the IMPACT test procedures on the sayrevillehigh.net website. I understand that it is important for my child to take the baseline IMPACT test seriously, since scores from a re-test following a concussion injury will be compared to the baseline scores to assist in the return-to-play decision. Compromised baseline scores can result in a longer wait before returning to play, and baseline IMPACT test results that are rejected by the program for being too unreliable will require a re-take before my child is cleared to begin participation in athletics. Therefore, every effort must be made to ensure that the student gives their best effort to take the test, with no outside aid.
