Cheer Memo August 8th

The 2015-2016 school year is about to kick-off! The cheerleaders have worked so hard over the summer getting ready for competition and I am excited to continue to push them to elevate their skills. August 8^th is NOT the last Saturday practice. We will continue practicing on Saturdays from 9am-1pm (with the exception of Saturday August 15^th) to get the cheerleaders ready for September 12^th’s competition. After September 12^th we will move into our regular season practice dates. Please note, these dates are TBD as my teaching schedule has not been fully solidified.

            Before going to competition I would like to have a parent meeting. Some concerns have been voiced and I understand that many parents still have concerns to voice and would like to have their voices heard. The first week we will be having a mandatory parent meeting. Here are the options for when this meeting could take place:

 Tuesday, Sept. 1^st, Wednesday, Sept. 2^nd or Thursday, Sept.  3^rd 5pm (I would be coming from Hill Middle School)

 Saturday, September 5^th  1pm (immediately following practice)

Monday, September 7^th Any time (pending school being out for Labor day)

Please text or call me with your top 3 meeting choices and I will do my best to accommodate. Please note, if you are not present at this meeting your cheerleader will not be able to cheer at competition or any events following until you have set up a 1-on-1 meeting with me.

Lastly, if your cheerleader attends a school OTHER THAN DCIS or NCAS (at Montbello), please send me the name of their principal ASAP, I need to make sure all MS staffs are on the same page when it comes to cheerleading.

If you have any questions, please reach out to me.

5. Sunscreen
6. Swim Suit (optional but highly recommended)
7. Mouth Guards (optional but highly recommended)

 Please note, we will hold a showing of what the cheerleaders learned over the weekend on Sunday at  11:30am(time change). Hope to see you there! Please see the FORMS page for a copy of the permission slips for your records.

Cheer Memo Week of May 26th 

      

          This week is our “last week” of practices. Cheerleaders will have a break from practicing between June 1^st and June 12^th with practice resuming SATURDAY, JUNE 13^TH AT 9AM.  Practice will be held outside, under the trees at the front of NCAS. Please check the calendar on the website (raapwarriorcheer.blogspot.com) for any additional information. Also, Coach O is currently working on the tumbling schedule for the summer, if you are able to drive to tumbling (it could possibly take place in Westminster), please indicate so on the back of this form. I would like to see if this is a feasible option, because the tumbling equipment is in Westminster making it the ideal location for the cheerleaders to get the most out of their tumbling cost.

            Friday, May 29^th by 3pm uniform payments are due. We are currently working to get updated information on how much was raised in fundraisers, so if this affects you please let me know. Please continue to plan to pay $20 for shoes. I will be assessing how returner shoes look and deciding if we will keep those shoes (16.95) or go with a new shoe (20.00).

            We now have a team mom! Ms. Porsha will be leading communication from this point and providing you with any updates that you may need. I will be providing her with a contact sheet before the end of the week. Please continue to utilize both of us as well as the website to get any of your questions answered. I will no longer be on the Montbello Campus after Friday, May 29^th and I will not be able to answer communication until after 5 on weekdays.

Please continue to encourage your cheerleader to wear appropriate shoes. This is part of being prepared for practices as outlined in the Demerit system. As always if you have any questions, please reach out to me.

Cheer Memo Week Of May 11th:

Cheer Families:

            Demerits have now begun. All cheerleaders have taken and passed the demerit quiz and I will now be using demerits to hold all cheerleaders accountable for their actions. If you would ever like to know where your cheerleader stands with demerits, please feel free to reach out to me at any time.

            The first uniform payment was due May 1^st and the second one is due THIS FRIDAY May 15^th. If for whatever reason you are unable to make this payment deadline, please contact me immediately. Please understand that I am managing approx. 15 cheerleaders (not including JV) and it is very hard to keep up with everyone’s finances. PLEASE REACH OUT, I do not want to remove cheerleaders, I am VERY understanding, but communication is key.

            Next, I have asked all cheerleaders to purchase mouth guards for stunting. Please get these as soon as possible. J Please do not buy football mouth guards. The mouth guards cost between $2-$8. Please see the picture below:

 

Cheerleaders also need to be in proper cheer attire (including shoes) at every single practice per the demerit contract.  As always if you have any questions, please reach out to me.
