Dear Students, Parents, and Guardians,
Thank you for your interest in cheerleading at La Quinta High School. Tryouts for the 2012-2013 school year are quickly approaching. Students who are selected for the cheerleading squad must be prepared to be leaders of their school and community, and to assume certain personal and financial responsibilities, as well as a time commitment.
The cheerleaders of La Quinta High School will receive many valuable and rewarding experiences that they will remember long after they graduate from high school. These activities will not only channel their enthusiasm and spirit in a constructive and beneficial manner, but will give them a sense of pride and accomplishment in being part of a team.
To better explain the commitments of the La Quinta High School cheerleading program and all it entails, we will be having a parent meeting on Friday March 23rd in the Staff Lounge in the Main Office at 6:00 pm. We will be covering vital information regarding tryout procedures, the 2012-2013 season, and financial requirements. THIS IS A MANDATORY MEETING, students will not be allowed to tryout if a parent or guardian does not attend.
Attached you will find a copy of the La Quinta High School Cheerleading Constitution, by laws, disciplinary rules, cheerleading application (part 1 and 2), check list, District Release, and medical release. These forms must be completed and returned on or before the parent meeting on Friday March 23rd. Students will not be allowed to participate in tryouts without these documents completed.
