Silver Wings Personal Internet Profiles Position Statement Your membership with the Silver Wings is a privilege, not a right. As a Silver Wing, there is a high expectation for you to conduct yourself in a “lady-like” manner at all times by your directors and HHS administration. This includes any form of internet post, profile, blog or website connected to you or about you. Your internet pages/spaces provide much information about you in a public venue. From the information you provide, the pictures you link, and the bulletins posted, a profile is established about your character and online reputation. It is important that you take as much care with this ‘online’ reputation as you do with your ‘real life’ reputation. You are responsible for your profile. This profile is an extension of you, and directly affects, and reflects upon, the Silver Wings organization. The following will be required for your internet profiles:

� No inappropriate pictures (such as those taken in under garments, smoking, alcohol, drug paraphernalia, or anything sexual in content, including kissing a boyfriend.)

� Do not post or keep any posts of foul language or sexually explicit comments. � Do not choose to support advertisements on your profile that promote alcohol, smoking, or sexually explicit

materials. � Requests friends who post inappropriate photographs to delete them, and always “un-tag” your name from

pictures that cannot be deleted. � Do not bully other students on profiles or chat forums, or participate in any such conversations. � Do not take or exchange nude or partially dressed photographs and/or videos of yourself or others via cell

phone or internet.

Protocol for your Profile:

If you have inappropriate material on your profile, the following actions will take place:

� The directors will talk with your privately about removing the item. You will have 3 days to remove said items.

� If the items have not been removed, the directors will contact your parents and provide a copy of the inappropriate items. A parent, student, director conference may be set up to discuss further.

� If items are not removed after parent involvement, the student will be removed from any upcoming performances until the profile has been corrected. (This however will not jeopardize the team. Example – if the material is taken down the day of a performance/day before, etc)

� If continued reticence occurs, the directors will request a meeting with administration and the parents for further disciplinary actions and possible removal from the Silver Wings.

Illegal or Inappropriate Content:

If you have any illegal content or information displayed on your profile, or any is found on any other profile or internet site, you will be held to either HHS Code of Student Conduct or the Extracurricular Code of Conduct rules and Regulations.

Each member agrees to abide by the rules and regulations in this constitution. Article III-Special Performances The Silver Wings may also perform in special performances such as other local parades, competition, spring show, team trips, and any other venues/performances selected and approved by the director.

All members will use the words “yes ma’am” and “thank you” to show respect for each other.

Article VIII-Code of Ethics Being on drill team is a privilege, not a right.

that the types of web pages and the postings they contain are in public view. All Silver Wings members are reminded to maintain high ethical and moral standards when posting/texting and also reminded that others can easily post such things as pictures of Silver Wings members on their own pages or send text messages which can result in negative attention upon the team. All Silver Wings members are reminded to avoid any situations which could lead to this type of situation where embarrassment to themselves, their parents and the team as a whole is the end result.

10

� Gossip: every person has passed on gossip. Every person has been hurt by it. The difference is that if we are to be a team – we simply cannot afford idle words. Always ask yourself, “If she walked into the room, would I continue my conversation?” If not, then you should reconsider the benefit of those who have to listen to you.

Article IX-Grades 1. Grades for Silver Wings Drill Team class will be assessed by the willingness to follow policies, procedures, and by the participation in class. (Demerits) 2. For each demerit received, 2 points will be deducted from their grade for the 3 week grading period. (This begins on the 1st day of school) Demerits begin at camp and accumulate the entire year.

If a drill team activity conflicts with another school-related activity, then the director and the other teacher(s) involved should be notified as far in advance as possible. The director and the other teacher(s) will confer and work out the best solution to the problem. Under no circumstances is the student to do as she pleases and then use the conflict as an excuse.

12

4. An excused absence for a Silver Wings practice/performance/event is the following: personal illness, death in the family, religious holidays & 2 college visits. College visits in this sense mean the Silver Wing is going to seek out the college as a prospective student – NOT to visit siblings in college. 5. Any member suffering from illness or injury for more than 2 days will be excused from workouts only with a doctor’s note. 6. No matter the situation, if a Silver Wings member misses practice, they are expected to either bring a written and signed explanation of the absence from their parent/guardian OR have the Wing email the director and copy their parent in the email.

(If writing a note and she misses both school AND practice – two notes will be needed - one for school file and one for directors file.) 7. Silver Wings members will attend tutorials and make-up tests during block lunch or after school. Missing practice for make-up work will be unexcused. 8. If a Silver Wings member misses two or more practices in the week of a performance, then she will not be in the performance(s). 9. If a Silver Wings member misses one practice during the week of Homecoming – she will be pulled from all performances. 10. If a Silver Wings member misses the practice on the day of the performance(s) – she MAY be pulled from that/those performance(s). (This will be determined on a case-by-case basis) 11. A Silver Wing MUST be present for at least half of the school day to perform that day. (Per UIL) 12. If a Silver Wings member is going to be absent, the Silver Wings member must either call Hebron High School and leave a message for the Director at 469-948-3018 or via email at Bowlingk@lisd.net (Email is always best). If a Silver Wings member fails to e-mail or call, she risks being cut from the upcoming performance. The message must be received in advance of the absence. 13. No matter the reason - if a Silver Wings member must leave early from a scheduled practice, one day advanced notice is required. However, if the reason is considered ‘unexcused,’ demerits will be received. A Parent must sign a release travel form if an emergency arises and the Wing is being taken home by the parent from an event. Article XII-Demerits/Probation/Merits Discipline is essential for a drill team to run properly. In order for the Silver Wings to function in this manner, the team will operate on a merit and demerit system.

Some common Q/A’s:

1- Q- Is summer camp/summer practice mandatory? A- YES – this is the true beginning of our year, it’s VITAL! 2- Q- Do I have to pay for all the team attire/summer camp at once? A- No – there are payment plans (4 months) 3- Q- Is the parent/hopeful meeting in January really that important? A- YES, it states a LOT of VERY important information and I can also answer any questions you may have. (Returning Silver Wings do not need to attend this meeting) 4- Q-If my daughter makes drill team and wants to continue to be on the team each year, will she have to try out again? A- No. However, if she becomes academically ineligible and/or receives 16+ demerits (reaches probation in her current year as a Silver Wing) then she will have to try out again. 5- Q- Are ALL dance attire items listed on the price sheet mandatory? A – YES! (Rookies have a separate price sheet than the veteran members – please make sure you look at the correct price sheet labeled at the top). 7- Q – If my daughter is currently on Silver Wings…. will she have to purchase all new dance attire? A – She will have to purchase some new attire, but not all of it. 8- Q – Are all practices mandatory? A – YES! 9- Q – I’m a full time working parent….so how can I help? A - Any little bit helps. There are many opportunities that can be completed at your own home. Read through the Booster Club positions and sign up to help! 10- Q – If my daughter doesn’t make drill team, is there another option for her? A – Yes, she can be a manager. Managers are fully considered a Silver Wing; the only difference is they do not perform. OR – she can sign up for Mrs. Hobbs’ Drill Team Prep class in the Fall semester. This is a class that mentally and physically prepares students to try out for drill team. Color Guard also has auditions in May as another option. 11- Q – Wow, the Silver Wings do a lot of fundraising…what’s it for? A – Mainly spring show – the highlight of their year and what they work so hard for. However, this money also includes the Silver Wings banquet ticket/meal, team props, memory dvd, costumes and other special events/items and the list goes on. Example of how much things cost: One full costume for the entire team is $5000. 12- Q – Do I really need to read through EVERYTHING in this tryout packet? A – As tedious as it may seem, YES! There is SO much important information and expectations that are listed for this is a HUGE yearlong commitment. 13- Q – Do Silver Wings have an “off season?” A – No, we literally go all year long. Seniors end with Spring Show in April/May and the rest of the team starts preparing for next year. 14. Q - My daughter got a physical in August at the beginning of the school year. Does she need to get another one for Silver Wings? A – YES. All Silver Wings Candidates’ physicals (including returning Silver Wings) must be between Dec. and the time paperwork is due. This is so ALL Silver Wings physicals expire at the same time and the director does not have to keep up with different expiration dates. 15. Q- Why are Service Hours Mandatory? A- We want the girls to be in an environment that allows their personalities to shine. They are free to talk, laugh and get to know each other. We want Silver Wings to be more than just dance and performance, and we love that the girls serve the community and others.
