Summer Activities Parent-Guardian Waiver

Start Goal: June 1, 2020

The AFUHSD understands the importance of returning our student athletes to their sports and
competition. We will return to participation in a phased approach maintaining safety guidelines from the National Federation of High School Sports, CDC, and the state. It is important to understand, because of the diversity in sports, each sport will not be treated equally.
