What is the procedure for using study hall time for strength and conditioning?
To ensure proper accountability, please follow this protocol:
- Check-in: Report to your scheduled study hall first.
- Sign-out: Sign out with the study hall monitor before heading to the weight room.
- Arrival: Sign in with the Sports Performance coach immediately upon arrival.
- Conduct: Students are permitted only in study hall or the weight room. If your workout ends before the period is over, you must return directly to study hall.
- Note: Please be aware that this is a privilege. Failure to follow these procedures or the need for additional academic time may result in the loss of this sign-out privilege.
