PARTICIPATING IN SPORTS AT UPLAND HIGH SCHOOL

Participating in a sport at Upland High School gives students the opportunity to get involved, to make new friends, to develop and improve skills in a sport and to participate in a team experience.

Occasionally students will miss a class due to away games or meets that require them to leave school early. The following suggestions are tips to help students succeed academically while participating in a sport:

  1. Get organized; use your agenda and schedule a regular time to complete homework every day. Note all game days in your agenda. (The sports schedule is available on our website)
  2. Check Schoolloop.
  3. Let the teacher know when you need to leave early and ask for the homework assignment for that day.
  4. Get the phone numbers of several classmates that you can call if you miss the class, to find out what you missed and get the assignment.
  5. If you miss a lecture, get the notes from a friend or ask the teacher for a copy of the lecture notes.
  6. The day after missing a class, check in with the teacher to find out what you missed.
  7. Tests: when possible, make arrangements prior to missing class, for making up tests. 

REMEMBER: IT’S YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO FIND OUT WHAT YOU MISSED AND TO MAKE UP ANY MISSING ASSIGNMENTS AND TESTS. WITH GOOD STUDY HABITS AND ORGANIZATION, YOU CAN BE SUCCESSFUL IN BOTH SPORTS AND ACADEMICS.
