Information on Revised Athletic Lettering Policy
 

Students and Parents :

 

Taylor ISD Athletics has updated the current Athletic Lettering Policy. This policy has been revised to better serve the student athletes of Taylor High School and to encourage their continued efforts to excel in athletics. It is our hope that this policy will challenge and reward the efforts of those students who choose to participate in the athletic programs offered by Taylor ISD, and that upon receiving this award, they may gain a sense of pride and accomplishment. This policy will also be retroactive to include those students who would currently meet the requirements set forth by this updated policy. 

We would encourage any student that feels they have met the requirements of this updated policy to contact the Athletic Department so that we may verify that the guidelines of the policy have been met by the athlete.

 

 

 

 

=========================
For students traveling with a parent before or after a competition, the Post Activity Student Release form must be completed and approved by the athletic director or principal in addition to the coach.  Use Adobe Acrobat to electronically sign the form.
