NOTES FROM SARGENT ATHLETIC DIRECTORS
Junior High Athletics:
I would like to congratulate the Junior High girls basketball teams on both winning their respective divisions this year. Both teams played extremely well and were able to both host playoff games as well. A big shout out also goes to the 8th Grade class and all of the teachers that helped to work and stay so we could provide food and drinks for the parents and kids from all of the schools this season. We would like to thank our coaches Dana Barlow and Jesse Entz for committing their time to the teams. They did a great job of supporting the team and making sure the girls were ready to play each and every week. In addition, I would also like to thank Kelli Lister, Fuzzy Holmes, Dwight Barlow, and our custodian staff for all of their extra help this season with keeping the gym organized and helping me out during times of confusion. It was a successful season and I can't wait to see how Wrestling does this year!
Thank you and Go Farmers!
Connor Flynn- Junior High Athletic Director
High School Athletics:
Winter sports have come to an end. Our wrestling team this year was small in numbers. We had one wrestler qualify for state, Jaycian S. He went to Denver and competed his tail off. He finished the State meet 2 and 2 and was very close to making it into the placing rounds. He is just a junior this year so we hope to see him back next year with a vengeance.
Our guys and girls basketball teams had very successful seasons. Both teams qualified for the regional tournament. Our ladies went to Merino and the guys went to Plateau Valley. The ladies beat Fowler in the first round and ran into a buzz saw in Merino in the championship game. Our ladies are a young team and will learn from this experience and be back just as strong if not stronger next year. Our guys played Fowler in the first round of the regional tournament and lost a tough one. We do lose a couple of seniors this year but we have a strong group of underclassmen and hope to continue the huge growth we have seen in boys basketball this season.
Our lady swimmers finished an outstanding season. This is a team made up of ladies from several Valley schools. They competed hard and represented Sargent well. They qualified 8 swimmers for the state meet. Our own Emma S. qualified in 11 different events. This is also a young squad and Coach Gearhart is excited for next season and hopes to keep pushing these ladies and get them on the podium at the state meet.

DANGERS OF VAPING AMONG TEENS
According to the National Institute of Health, "A new survey found an alarming rise in the number of American teens who tried vaping last year. The study suggests that vaping may be driving an increase in nicotine use for teens.
In vaping, a battery powered device called an e-cigarette heats a liquid into a vapor that can be inhaled. The vapor may contain nicotine (the addictive drug in tobacco), flavoring, and other chemicals. E-cigarettes can also be used with marijuana, hash oil, or other substances.
Vaping may pose serious and avoidable health risks. Exposure to nicotine during youth can lead to addiction and cause long-term harm to brain development. The vapor can also contain toxins (including ones that cause cancer) and tiny particles that are harmful when breathed in.
More than 44,000 students took part in the 2018 annual survey of drug, alcohol, and cigarette use in 8th, 10th, and 12th graders. About 37% of 12th graders reported vaping in 2018, compared with 28% in 2017. Vaping of each substance that was asked about increased. This includes nicotine, flavored liquids, marijuana, and hash oil."
Bright Light Vape Pens Look-a-Likes
TIK TOK AWARENESS
As a parent myself, I have been concerned with the content that our students are being exposed to within the social media and Tik Tok world.
Our children's integrity, accountability, and responsibility are being replaced with promiscuity, acts of destruction to school property, and acts of harm to animals and humans as being the "cool" things to do. Now, these are just to name a few that Tik Tok is influencing our youth with.
However, my expectation for all our staff here at Sargent, is for us to be role models that exhibit and expect character traits that will combat the values that Tik Tok stands for.
I encourage you to do your own research on the dangers that Tik Tok has on your student.
ELIGIBILILTY POLICY REMINDER
We encourage you to continue to check your student(s) portal for grades to make sure your student is eligible to compete and participate in extra-curricular activities.
If a student has two D's or one F, they are NOT eligible.
School Policy:
EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITY RULES AND WEEKLY ELIGIBILITY
A student’s ability to participate in any district‐sponsored extracurricular activity is a privilege, not a right. Those district students who participate in extracurricular activities serve as role models to other students.
Eligibility lists will be given to teachers and coaches by Noon on Tuesday. A student who has 1 F or 2 D’s will be considered ineligible. All student work is due to teacher by noon on Monday in order to be included in the eligibility period. The eligibility period runs from Wednesday through Tuesday night for the designated week or period, one‐week or longer. Students who are ineligible cannot participate in an event until they are reassessed for the next eligibility period which begins on the following Wednesday. Students receiving “Incomplete” are eligible to compete when the “I” is converted to a passing grade prior to the competition (and is passing 3.5 Carnegie units). Period exceptions: At the end of the nine weeks the eligibility period is 2 weeks, and Thanksgiving week stays the same as the previous week. At the beginning of each nine weeks the eligibility period is 2 weeks based on the final grades for the previous nine weeks (Policy JJJ).
Students who are not eligible cannot participate in an event until grades are reassessed for the new period, which begins the following Wednesday after new eligibility is determined.
Ineligible students will not be allowed to miss class for any extra-curricular activity held during the school day. (This does not include curricular activities). Ineligible students will be allowed to practice with the team but will not be allowed to travel with the team or sit on the team bench. Ineligible students will not participate in any other school functions such as Knowledge Bowl, Spelling Bee, or other competitions or school sponsored activities.
If a student misses school the day of an extracurricular activity, he/she will not be allowed to participate in the activity. Exceptions will only be allowed through parental contact and prior approval from the principal. A student must attend at least three (3) class periods on the day of the competition in order to compete (Policy JJJ).
ATTENDANCE POLICY
STUDENT ATTENDANCE
Students who attend school regularly derive the maximum benefit from the instructional program. The primary responsibility for attendance falls on the individual student and their parent(s). The Colorado School Attendance Act 22‐33‐104 (5)(a), C.R.S. states, “The general assembly hereby declares that two of the most important factors in ensuring a child’s educational development are parental involvement and parental responsibility. The general assembly further declares that it is the obligation of every parent to ensure that every child under such parent’s care and supervision receives adequate education and training. Therefore, every parent of a child who has attained the age of six years and is under the age of seventeen years shall ensure that such child attends the public school in which such child is enrolled in compliance with this section.”
In the interest of the Sargent School District maintaining accurate records regarding attendance of a school as mandated by the Colorado Compulsory School Attendance Act, (C.R.S. 22‐33‐107), parents are required to excuse the absence of their child from class, either orally or in writing, within 48 hours of the class(es) missed. This includes students who are 18 years of age. Failure to do so will result in the absence permanently being classified as unexcused.
EXCUSED ABSENCES
One criteria of a student’s success in school is regular and punctual attendance. Student absences interfere with the learning process. As per attendance policy JH, the maximum number of unexcused absences a student may occur before judicial proceedings (habitually truant status) are initiated to enforce compulsory attendance is ten (10) during any school year. In addition, the school administrator may deny grade promotion if the student has accumulated ten (10) or more absences for the school year.
At 7:55 am, all outside doors will be locked down with the exception of the front entrance. After 7:55am, please enter through the main office doors. Please contact the office by 8:30am (by email or phone) to report your child’s absence.
Reasons that will be “excused” include:
Temporary illness
Injury
Funeral/Death of a family member
Medical/Dental appointment with note
Out of school suspension
Work study program approved by the district
Observing a religious holiday/celebration/event
*Note: School‐sponsored activity(ies) of an educational nature are NOT counted as absences.
As applicable, the district may require suitable proof regarding the above exceptions, including written statements from medical sources (Policy JH/JH-R).
UNEXCUSED ABSENCES
An unexcused absence is defined as an absence that is not covered by one of the foregoing exceptions. Each unexcused absence shall be entered on the student’s attendance record. Parents/Guardians of students will find a record of their student’s excused/unexcused absences online on the “Parent Portal.” The Sargent School District encourages parents, guardians, and students to check attendance weekly.
In accordance with law, the district may impose appropriate penalties that relate directly to classes missed while unexcused. Penalties may include a warning, school detention, school-community service, in-school suspension at the discretion of the building principal.
Reasons that will be considered unexcused include:
Vacationing/trips out of town
Caring for younger sibling or relative
Transportation difficulties
No communication regarding absence with school within 48 hours
Reasons other than those mentioned under excused absences (Policy JH/JH-R)
CONSEQUENCES FOR UNEXCUSED ABSENCES (DAY OR PERIOD)
2nd Unexcused Absence: Warning and a letter will be sent to parent/guardian.
3rd Unexcused Absence: Parent/School/Student meeting to discuss a solution. Students will serve one hour of detention or community service.
4th Unexcused Absence: 2nd Parent/School/Student meeting to create an attendance contract. Student will serve two hours of detention or community service.
5th Unexcused Absence: After a cumulative of five (5) unexcused absences, the student will be considered habitually truant and the administration may pursue judicial proceedings to enforce Colorado’s Compulsory Attendance Laws. Excessive unexcused absences could also result in academic probation and/or disenrollment.
As a reminder, students may not accumulate more than five (5) absences in any one semester or more than ten (10) in an entire school year, per Colorado Compulsory Attendance Law.
NOTE: Sargent Schools are NOT an online schooling/distance learning platform. In-person schooling is the platform we are qualified to teach.
REPORTING ABSENCES
If a student is unable to attend school, a parent or guardian must call the school at
(719) 852-4025 and/or send a written note or e-mail to the school secretary to notify us of the absence. Any doctor’s excuse or other documentation must be submitted to the office within two (2) school days after the return of the student to school.NOTE: A call or parent note does not automatically give the student an excused absence.
