L. PURPOSE
The purpose of this policy is to set criteria for awarding academic, athletic, or activity letters to recognize student motivation, incentive to achieve, ability, accomplishments, and/or contribution to a team effort.
II. GENERAL STATEMENT
Letters are awarded to students in recognition of their efforts in meeting the Moorhead Area Public Schools' mission statement: "To develop the maximum potential of every learner to thrive in a changing world." Guidelines for receiving a letter in academics, athletics and/or activities are listed in Administrative Procedure 545.1 and developed to ensure fairness and equity. Administrative and building policies shall ensure that written requirements are developed, available, and properly communicated to students and parents/guardians.
The guidelines for receiving a letter in athletics and/or activities will be listed by each head coach/activity advisor, kept in the activities office, and distributed at the first meeting of the activity or parent’s/guardian's meeting.
