This list is not exhaustive. Students can go to any person within the school to discuss psychological/emotional/spiritual issues. Notwithstanding, this network provides adults on campus who are available to assist as needed. Predominantly, these individuals will connect the student with resources in which the focus is prevention, intervention, positive development, and regular communication between school and families. Most importantly, though, the goal of this network is to glorify God. He is the Wonderful Counselor (Isaiah 9:6), Great Healer (Psalm 103:3), Eternal Helper (John 14:16) Restorer of the Broken-hearted (Psalm 147:3) and Keeper of Perfect Peace (Isaiah 26:3). Our staff is committed to assisting our students and their families by pointing them to the only ONE who can truly meet their needs. Through these resources, the focus is prevention, intervention, positive development, and regular communication between school and families. Members of the Support Network represent a school-wide commitment to improve mental health recognition and to provide beneficial resources in supporting students who are experiencing stress, anxiety, depression, or eating disorders. We are excited to discover more ways to impact our students to ensure their positive well-being. ELCA does not tolerate bullying, harassment, or intimidation of any sort. Principals and the school counselor will thoroughly assess and intervene any such suspicions. Many preventative efforts are made through our Kingdom Educational foundation and Biblical Worldview approach to behavioral expectations. Our chapel services, Unity Counsel, Student government accountability groups, and more each promote proper treatment of others. Any deviation is quickly identified and addressed. In any instance whereby child abuse or neglect is suspected, the staff member will immediately notify a principal and/or the School Counselor. The student will be evaluated and referred to the governmental authorities as determined appropriate by these individuals and as consistent with Mandatory Reporting laws. Mandated Reporters are not required to notify guardians of an official report of child abuse or neglect. ELCA will disclose this information as deemed safe and appropriate.

The Eagle's Landing Christian Academy Athletic Department is an extension of our Christian school that supports the mission of assisting parents in involving their children in a growing relationship with Jesus Christ through Christian education, spiritually, academically, aesthetically, athletically, and socially. KINGDOM ATHLETICS The purpose of this section is to establish rules, regulations, and policies for the Eagle’s Landing Christian Academy athletic program and to provide a framework within which students, parents, faculty, and staff can work together for the benefit of the athletic program. ELCA is a gospel-centered, Kingdom-focused, college preparatory school that exists to make disciples of Jesus Christ for the glory of God. Our athletic program should support this commitment. Athletes must follow all rules that are stated in this section and the student handbook. Participation on an athletic team at ELCA is a privilege, not a right. This privilege may be revoked if a student is not compliant with the guidelines established in this section. The procedures in this section will be followed. The Administration reserves the right to make final decisions regarding any policy and/or rule. If there are any suggestions for improving our athletic program, please present them to the athletic department. All coaches, student-athletes, and parents should know, understand, and abide by the information in the section. PURPOSE FOR ATHLETIC DEPARTMENT To compliment and advance the school’s mission. “Now may the God of patience and comfort grant you to be like-minded toward one another, according to Christ Jesus, that you may with one mind and one mouth glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.” Romans 15:5-6. GOALS FOR ATHLETIC DEPARTMENT To pursue with excellence an athletic program that seeks to glorify God and to use it as a tool to teach, coach, and model Jesus Christ To develop highly competitive programs, first class facilities, and a championship mentality. To develop a training system with the Youth/MS/JV programs that will prepare our students for statewide varsity level competition. To develop a training system beginning in the Lower School that will indoctrinate our Faculty, Staff, Parents, and Students with our Kingdom Athletics philosophy, policies, and procedures. To use athletics to share Jesus Christ with those who do not know him and to inspire other schools to adopt Kingdom Athletics for themselves. “Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men,” Colossians 3:23. SCHOOL BRAND AND LOGO The Chargers shield and bolt are the two logos for the school. Anyone interested in creating a design using the ELCA brand must contact the Athletic Director and the Marketing and Communications Office for approval. Approval must be obtained through the Athletic Director and the Marketing and Communications Office prior to the use of the name and logos of ELCA and any reasonable facsimile. ATHLETIC ELIGIBILITY ELCA is a member of the Georgia High Schools Association. Each student must meet GHSA requirements to participate in athletics. Students must earn 2.5 Carnegie units to be GHSA eligible. Each class taken in a semester is equal to ½ Carnegie unit. Students receiving two “F’s” on a semester report card will not be allowed to participate in athletic activities until cleared by the academic department. The student will be cleared provided they meet GHSA eligibility requirements mentioned above and meet requirements set by the academic department. This includes, but is not limited to, mandatory IF and weekly help classes. Students who are declared GHSA ineligible at the end of first semester will not be able to participate or practice spring semester. (Students that are ineligible second semester may attend summer school to become eligible for fall sports). Students that are academically ineligible will not be allowed to dress out with the team or practice with the team. ELCA EARLY GRADUATION POLICY On rare occasions students may request to graduate early. Students who wish to graduate after the first semester of their senior year must meet the following criteria: Provide a letter from the college or institution stating the fact that they prefer the student to enroll early and the reason for doing so. Provide a written request from the parents stating their desire to have the student graduate early. The written request is to be turned in before the beginning of 2nd semester the 11th grade year. (It will benefit the student to declare intent at the beginning of the 1st semester of 11th grade. This will allow the student to begin taking some 12th grade classes 1st semester in place of electives not needed for graduation). Sign a contract with the school which details the new academic plan put in place with the understanding that the school will not release transcripts to the college until all academic requirements have been met. Meet the same rigor requirements and graduation requirements expected of all senior students. If online class options differ from the options of the traditional classes, it will be the decision of the Academic Dean as to what online classes are most comparable to the traditional courses offered. Sign a new financial agreement and agree to a new payment schedule for payment of tuition. Financial obligations will need to be met before transcripts will be released to the college. *Note - ELCA does not automatically prorate the tuition for the senior year since the school is still awarding a diploma. Fees for extra online courses are the responsibility of the parents. In addition, a $2,000 early graduation fee will be required and due before transcripts are released. The high school administration may deny the student request if it is determined he/she cannot reasonably complete the requirements for graduation by the end of the 1st semester of the senior year due to poor academic performance in the past or too many limitations involved in assembling a new academic plan. YOUTH/MS/JV ATHLETICS These programs are vitally important to the success of our athletic program. They concentrate on developing skills, sportsmanship, participation, and experience. The Youth/MS/JV programs prepare athletes for the varsity level. All athletes are expected to follow the same rules and policies as the varsity athletes. If an athlete plays on our school team and a recreational team/travel team/club team, the school team must take priority. Sixth through eighth grade students may try out for all junior high teams. Ninth and twelfth graders may play on the JV or Varsity teams (no eighth graders may play varsity football). VARSITY ATHLETICS The varsity teams have the commitment of winning and putting the best team on the field/court/track. Varsity players are the most visible and need to show positive leadership in all activities on and off campus. Coaches will make every effort to allow each athlete the opportunity of competing at the varsity level, but a specified amount of playing time is never guaranteed. All our athletes are expected to participate in summer workouts. We will never have the desired athletic program if we do not work out in the off-season. All athletes are expected to go with their team to camp during the summer. These camp dates will be announced well in advance so families can plan around them. Eagle's Landing Christian Academy's athletic program includes 12 varsity sports as well as opportunities to participate at the JV, MS, and Youth levels in a variety of sports. ELCA participates in the Georgia High School Association (Region 2 Class AAAA) and competes at a high-level year after year. Athletics is an integral part of the educational process that impacts the lives of many students. FALL Girls/Boys Cross Country – Youth, MS, Varsity Boys Football – Youth, MS, JV, Varsity Girls Softball – MS, Varsity Girls Spirit Cheer – Youth, MS, Varsity Girls Volleyball – MS, JV, Varsity WINTER Girls/Boys Basketball – Youth, MS, JV, Varsity Boys Wrestling – Youth, MS, Varsity Girls Spirit Cheer – MS, Varsity SPRING Boys Baseball – Youth, MS, JV, Varsity Girls/ Boys Golf – Varsity Girls/ Boys Lacrosse – Varsity Girls/Boys Soccer – Varsity Girls/Boys Track & Field – Youth, MS, Varsity PARTICIPATION POLICY ELCA takes seriously the commitments of our student-athletes. We believe honoring commitments is essential throughout life, in marriage, family, church, career, and other areas. We believe athletics helps foster a spirit of genuine commitment. Quitting a team for reasons other than medical or family matters contradicts all we teach about what a Kingdom Athlete should be. A student should never quit a sport in the middle of the season regardless of how justified he/she may feel their reasons to be. We encourage all students and parents to “stick it out”. It is our desire to work with parents in teaching student’s perseverance, commitment, loyalty and fortitude. You never know what God has in store for your family. Any student who quits a sport after the try-out period (5 days) will still be responsible for the athletic fee and be ineligible to begin the next sport, join another in-season team, or participate in off-season training with another sport until the season of the sport he/she quit is over. ATHLETIC FEES There will not be a fee to participate in athletics. Individuals may be charged a player pack (equipment, apparel, etc.) for any item they keep. This will vary from team to team. Individuals will not be charged for items that are returned each year to the coach. ACADEMIC WORK Athletes are responsible for all their academic work. Athletic teams will sometimes have to leave school early. It is the athlete’s responsibility to turn in any academic work and get assignments for that day before departing the school for a game. Athletic events can never be used as an excuse for unfinished academic work. ABSENCES AND EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES No student will be allowed to participate in any after-school extracurricular activity on a day that he/she has been absent from school. Students must be present a half-day (3 1/2 hours) to participate in a game that day. PHYSICAL EXAMINATION, CONSENT, & CONCUSSION AWARENESS FORMS A physical examination is required by the GHSA. The physical examination, consent, & concussion awareness forms must be on file before a student participates in any tryouts, practices, or athletic contest. All forms are to be on file with the athletic trainer. These forms may be downloaded from our website at http://www.chargersathletics.org/main/otherad/contentID/40118099. TRAVEL All athletes are required to ride the bus to away games. Any exception must be authorized by the Athletic Director. The athlete must have the permission of the head coach to ride home with his/her parents or another parent after the away games. (A note from the parents will be required.) No athletes will be able to ride home with other students or non-adults. We are very thankful for the vehicles God has provided for us, and we must do our best to take care of them. Procedures for Reserving Hotel Rooms for Athletic Events Reservations will only be made by Heidi McClure for coaches and players. Once reservations are confirmed, coaches may send hotel information out to families so they may stay at the same hotel. Players are to stay 4 max per room. Coaches are 2 per room unless their families are traveling with them. If coaches want room reservations to be made for playoffs, it is their responsibility to get information to Heidi McClure as early in the season as possible. If it is determined that the team will not make it into post-season play, it is coach’s responsibility to let Heidi know as soon as possible so reservations can be cancelled. Under no circumstances should athletes’ rooms be reserved under a parent’s name held with their credit card. DRESS Our athletes must wear attire approved by the head coach. PROFANITY Profanity will not be tolerated in any form by our athletes. There is no excuse. UNSPORTSMANLIKE CONDUCT Unsportsmanlike conduct by our athletes will not be tolerated. Discipline for unsportsmanlike conduct violations (such as unsportsmanlike penalties, technical fouls, etc.) will be instituted at the discretion of the head coach. If an athlete is ejected from a game the GHSA rules and regulations will apply. The GHSA, ELCA, and member schools have made a commitment to promote good sportsmanship by student-athletes, coaches, and spectators at all GHSA sanctioned or ELCA events. Profanity, degrading remarks, and intimidating actions directed at officials or competitors will not be tolerated and are grounds from removal from the event site. Spectators are not allowed to enter the competition area during warm-ups or while the contest is being conducted. We strongly encourage our fans to cheer for our teams. If a fan is ejected, the ejected person will be suspended from at least one game. The ejected person must not be seen or heard during the period of suspension. ELCA PARENT CODE OF CONDUCT Our Speech: 1. Profanity or questionable language will not be tolerated. Anything that can be misconstrued as negative or insulting must be avoided. Be positive and encouraging. Uplift your students and others. Let them know the importance and accomplishment of being a part of the team. Let them know they are important. Never criticize the officials or coaches. These people represent the authority figure, the “boss”, the parent, the teacher and the “Law”. If you are “bad mouthing” your children’s coaches or officials, you cannot expect him or her to play for or respect these people. Obedience to authority is not optional and is not predicated on whether you agree with it. All authority is God-given and disobedience to authority is disobedience to God. Insist that your students address the coach and the officials with respect. They should call their coaches Coach or Mr., Miss, or Mrs. They should address the officials with “Yes, Sir” or “Yes, Ma’am” You should use these titles as well in the presence of your students or when referring to the coach or officials. Never be involved in negative cheering. Booing the officials or opponents or getting into negative chants against the opposing crowd sets a bad example for your children and is counter to everything we say we believe. Never speak negatively around the students or other parents about: the school, the Church, or other students. Never criticize your children’s teammates. This does not teach your student team attitude and will allow them to make excuses for their own performance. Never offer excuses for your children if they are not playing. Encourage them to do their best and to keep striving for their worthwhile goals. Always confront your coaches out of sight and earshot of students and other parents. Speak with the coach privately. Call to set an appointment. Pray about what you will say and what is motivating your discussion. Smile, meet and greet. Often you may be the first impression someone has of ELCA and of our Lord and Savior. Ask yourself this question “Is my speech setting up an opportunity to share Jesus Christ or a need to apologize?” “Let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt... “Colossians 4:6 Our Relationships: Develop relationships and a good rapport with your students and their teammates. God has placed you in this situation for a purpose. Use this opportunity to minister and be an encouragement to others. You never know who is hurting and needs your show of God’s love in their life. If sports become all about you and your student, you need to not participate. Develop relationships and a good rapport with other parents. You will need their prayers and support as much as they will need yours. Develop relationships and a good rapport with parents from other schools. Never miss an opportunity to share Jesus Christ with others. Promote your school and your students. Needless to say, the relationship you develop is a reflection on our entire ministry. Develop relationships with the coaches: Get to know the coaches. Pray for them. Communicate with them with an open heart and mind. Be open, honest with gentle words. Set appointments to meet with the coach rather than ambush them before or after a game. “This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.” John 15:12 Our Unity: Develop unity within our school family. God has called each one of us to this school. Each of us have different abilities and, therefore, different roles. Never be jealous or envious of someone else’s role. Be busy fulfilling your role. Your example of being a unified school body is a valuable lesson for your students to learn. Develop unity with our Church. ELCA is a ministry of Eagle’s Landing First Baptist Church working together for a common purpose. Be supportive in action and in spirit. Without Eagle’s Landing First Baptist Church there would be no Eagle’s Landing Christian Academy. Develop unity within the Kingdom. We must establish our philosophy with other schools in order for our ultimate purpose to be met… to further the Kingdom of God. It will take other Christian schools being successful. Pray for them as you pray for ELCA. “For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ. For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body—Jews or Greeks, slaves or free—and all were made to drink of one Spirit.” I Corinthians 12:12-13 Our Motives: Be Motivated by the Love of God. Living for Him because He died for us. Strive for victory as a tool to teach your students. Teach them that athletics is just a means to an end and not an end unto itself. Teach your students to abide by the rules of the game in letter and in spirit. Tactics that promote unfair “gamesmanship” will not be tolerated. Lead your students in athletics considering your family mission, philosophy and goals. What you are teaching your students through athletics should match with what you are teaching them at home. Use your child’s experience as a chance to be involved in the life of your child. Your relationship with your child as an adult is a longer time of your life than when they are in your home. If you want a relationship with them as adults, you need to begin building that relationship NOW. Athletics affords you that opportunity. “…do all to the Glory of God.” I Corinthians 10:31 Our Behavior: Maintain class and character. You are setting the example for your students. Realize that your every action reflects upon you, your family, ELCA, ELFBC and ultimately our Lord. People will remember your actions long after they have forgotten your words. Always insist that your children follow instructions. Coaches must depend on a player’s ability to follow orders immediately and without question. Questions should be raised at the appropriate time, such as at practice or after a game, when there is time for explanation. This builds respect for authority and a bond of trust between your children and their coaches. Always dress appropriately. Modest attire that does not attract attention to you and away from your child should be worn. Even in warm weather events a Christ-like appearance must be maintained. Be an example and a guard. Set the standard high for behavior and appearance and do not be afraid to speak to those who are indifferent to our ultimate purpose. Working with the officials …not working the officials. Badgering an official to persuade a call our way comes with too high a price – our testimony and our ability to influence those others for Jesus Christ. There is never a time at any contest where a parent is afforded an opportunity to say anything to an official other than “Thank You”. Without these men and women and their willingness to officiate, no one is playing ball. Remain in the stands. Never attempt to approach the field, court, bench area, press box, score table or the officials before, during or after a ballgame. Socially visiting with the coach briefly after a game is encouraged. Game officials are off-limits. Be Modest in victory and gracious in defeat. Coaches, students, parents and spectators will need to be strong in this area. Shake hands with our visitors before and after a game. Recognize the success of your opponent. Compliment the good play of students from the other school. Congratulate their coaches on a well-coached game. Teach your children that they have a special purpose from God. It is their responsibility to accept God’s purpose for them. Do not compare or contrast them to others. This limits their ability to fulfill their own unique potential and purpose. Have fun, touch lives and be yourself. You have the opportunity to be a positive influence, like no one else may be able to, in the lives your children and their peers. Enjoy this time in their lives and help them to enjoy it as well. Games, plays and officials will be forgotten, but your behavior and attitude will stay with your child forever. “whoever says he abides in him ought to walk in the same way in which he walked.” I John 2:6 ELCA ATHLETE CODE OF CONDUCT Our Speech: Profanity or questionable language will not be tolerated. The athlete will address the coach and the officials with respect. The athlete will address the coach as “Coach” or “Mr., Miss or Mrs.” and will take concerns or complaints directly to the coach. Insubordination and divisive speech or behavior will not be tolerated. The athlete should address the officials with “Yes Sir” or “Yes Ma’am". Never criticize the officials or coaches. These people represent the authority figure, the “boss”, the parent, the teacher and the “Law”. Obedience to authority is not optional and is not predicated on whether you agree with it. All authority is God-given and disobedience to authority is disobedience to God. Our Relationships: Develop relationships and a good rapport with teammates and coaches. God has placed you in this situation for a purpose. You have an opportunity to develop life-long friendships. If sports become all about you, you need to not participate. Develop relationships and a good rapport with classmates. Do not attempt to set yourself upon a pedestal. Your classmates will not respect you or support you. Develop relationships and a good rapport with students from other schools. Never miss an opportunity to share Jesus Christ with others. Our Unity: Develop unity within your team. “It is amazing what can be accomplished when no one cares who gets the credit.” John Wooden Develop unity within our school family. God has called each one of us to this school. Each of us has different abilities and, therefore, different roles. Never be jealous or envious of someone else’s role. Be busy fulfilling your role. Develop unity within the Kingdom. We must establish our philosophy with other schools for our ultimate purpose to be met… to further the Kingdom of God. It will take other Christian schools being successful. Pray for them as you pray for ELCA. Our Motives: Be Motivated by the Love of God. Living for Him because He died for us. Strive for victory in order to Glorify God. Athletics is just a means to an end and not an end unto itself. Demonstrating Christ by following the rules of the game in letter and in spirit. Tactics that promote unfair “gamesmanship” will not be tolerated. Committed to excellence. In all areas – faith, practice, academics and game preparation. Play and Act like a CHAMPION! Our Behavior: The athlete will maintain a good reputation. The athlete’s character will be in good standing with the administration, faculty, staff and church. The athlete will meet all eligibility requirements. The athlete will know and understand all requirements. The athlete will know all the expectations of their team and will follow them both in action and in spirit. The athlete will show respect for all coaches, trainers and all staff personnel. This includes the game plans, methods and philosophies. The athlete will show respect for their teammates. The athlete will respect the seriousness of their commitment by attending all practices, meetings and games as prescribed at the beginning of the season and by working together to accomplish a common goal. Help to hold your teammates accountable for their actions. The athlete will maintain a high standard of appearance. Both in and out of the arena adhering to the strictest interpretations of the school dress code and the team dress and uniform code. The athlete will demonstrate Christ-like character. Both in and out of the arena showing respect in speech and actions for game officials, opponents and all those associated with our opponents. The athlete will never engage in fighting. The athlete will always maintain self-control. Un-sportsmanship like conduct penalties will not be tolerated and will be penalized. The athlete will know and understand our philosophy. The athlete will respect the seriousness of the eternal effects of their responsibilities as they represent themselves, their families, their school, their church and ultimately their Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. COACH/PARENT COMMUNICATION Parenting and coaching are both difficult vocations. Understanding each other’s role will enable parents and coaches to work together to provide a meaningful experience for the student-athlete at ELCA. Communication that parents can expect from a coach: Locations and times of practice and games Expectations the coach has of the players and the team Team requirements Team rules and disciplinary actions for violations of team rules Various ways that parents may help the team Appropriate concerns for parents to discuss with the coach: Ways to help your child improve Concerns about your child’s behavior Academic support, college opportunities Recognizing that coaches are the ones who work with the team daily in practice and in competition, it is important to understand that the coach will make decisions that he or she believes to be best for the team and for all athletes who are involved. A parent should never confront a coach before or after a game or practice. These are emotional times for a parent and coach and are not wise times to make an attempt toward the resolution of a problem. ATHLETIC DEPARTMENT INJURY POLICY According to Georgia Code 43-5-1, an Athletic Trainer (ATC) is a person with specific qualifications, as set forth in Code Sections 43-5-7 and 43-5-8 who, upon the advice and consent of a physician, carries out the practice of prevention, recognition, evaluation, management, disposition, treatment, or rehabilitation of athletic injuries; and, in carrying out these functions, the ATC is authorized to use physical modalities, such as heat, light, sound, cold, electricity, or mechanical devices related to prevention, recognition, evaluation, management, disposition, rehabilitation, and treatment. Stephanie Vasquez is our Athletic Trainer. Her contact is – email: stephanie.vasquez@eagleslanding.org , cell: 404-698-6495. The primary responsibilities of the ATC include injury prevention, recognition and evaluation of injuries, immediate care and treatment, rehabilitation, and administration duties. The ATC is present at school every day. He covers all home contests for middle and high schools, as well as all practices and some away games. He stays at school until the end of the last practice or contest of the day. Even though most of the injury evaluations and treatments take place after school hours, the ATC is available during school hours to evaluate injuries and perform rehabilitation programs. The following section provides the general guidelines put in place by the ELCA Athletic Department for handling athletic-related injuries. When an athlete is injured on campus, the coach sends him to the ATC to have his injury evaluated. If the ATC is at the scene when the injury occurs, the evaluation of the athlete will take place there. When the evaluation is completed, an explanation will be given to the athlete regarding the immediate treatment as well as the next course of action to be taken, i.e. begin a rehabilitation program, follow up with a doctor, etc. The coach is then informed of the injury as well as the treatment plan. The ATC will also get in touch with the parent to explain what happened and what the next step needs to be either in person, by phone, or by email. Depending on the extent of the injury, the ATC will assist the parent in scheduling a doctor’s appointment. After the doctor’s visit, it is the responsibility of the parent and the athlete to bring a note from the doctor stating his diagnosis of the injury as well as the plan of care. In addition, when an athlete is injured during either practice or a game and the ATC is not present, the coach will inform him of the incident and the care that was provided so the injury can be documented, and a follow up with the parent, student, doctor, and coach is made to provide the best possible care and return the athlete to play as soon as possible. If your child goes to see a doctor, then he needs to bring a note to the ATC and the coach stating he is cleared to play. When a doctor removes an athlete from competition, he will not be allowed to return to competition until the ATC has a note in hand stating the doctor has cleared him. The Georgia State Law listed above mandates that an Athletic Trainer works under the supervision of a Physician. Dr. Ashley Brouilette, with Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta oversees our Athletic Trainer. Our team doctor is Dr. Daniel Orcutt, MD, an Orthopedic Surgeon from OrthoAtlanta. For the last 20 years, OrthoAtlanta has provided coverage for our Varsity Football games, and performs surgeries when necessary. Stephanie will coordinate a time to for athlete to see a doctor as soon as possible after the injury. OrthoAtlanta is located at 915 Eagles Landing Pkwy. Stockbridge, GA, 30281 and the phone number is 770-506-4350. TRAINING ROOM RULES The following rules have been set by the Athletic Training Department to ensure the proper treatment and safety of all athletes. If for any reason you need to seek care from the Certified Athletic Trainer, you must always abide by the following rules. No student is allowed in the Training Room without the direct supervision of the Athletic Trainer or a Coach! Athletes reporting for treatment must be clean. Do not track in grass or dirt. Leave cleats outside The Athletic Training Room is NOT a lounge. No socializing or hanging out. You must sign in each time you come in for treatment. If you do not come to treatment, you will not be taped. If you do not come to treatment, you will not be excused from practice. If you seek medical attention for an injury, you must bring a written doctor’s release before you will be allowed to return to participation. Come to treatment every day until released by the Athletic Trainer. Be considerate and respectful. EMERGENCY PROTOCOL In every emergency, establish the ABC’s (airway, breathing, circulation). To establish the airway, lean close to the athlete’s nose and mouth to detect inhalation and exhalation. While leaning to detect airway, make eye contact with the athlete’s chest to detect upward and downward movement to establish breathing. As you are listening for airway and looking for breathing, attempt to detect a pulse for circulation either at the carotid (neck) artery or radial (wrist) pulse. PROTOCOL FOR ATHLETIC EVENTS AT HOME: If ABC’s are present: Find Stephanie Vasquez (Athletic Trainer) if not around scene of the emergency. If Stephanie can’t be found, the coach should call Stephanie at 404-698-6495 or send another coach to find her. If Stephanie is not on campus, the coach is to contact either Jacob Hearn (School Resource Officer at 678-736-1690) or (School Nurse) for assistance. If no medical person on ELCA’s staff is on campus, the coach is to assess the injury and make decisions for further treatment. **NOTE** If this is a head, neck, or open fracture injury, you ARE NOT TO MOVE THE ATHLETE UNLESS HE OR SHE IS IN A DANGEREROUS ENVIRONMENT OR IF CPR NEEDS TO BE ADMINISTERED. Call 911 if needed. If ABC’s are not present: The coach is to ASSIGN someone to CALL 911*. The coach is to assign someone to immediately sprint to get the AED (there are 2 on ELCA’s campus). If Stephanie is not around, the coach is to assign someone to call her at 404-698-6495 The coach is to stay with the athlete and administer CPR until the AED arrives or EMS arrives (if the coach does not know CPR, he or she is to find someone who does). Once the AED arrives, open it and follow the given prompts. Once EMS arrives, the coach is to go with the athlete in the ambulance unless his or her parents are available to ride with him or her. Contact parents if not on site.

If ABC’s are not present and Stephanie is not available: The coach is to ASSIGN someone to CALL 911. The coach is to ask if the opposing team has an AED. If so, he or she needs to assign someone to immediately sprint and get the AED. If the AED is not available, the coach is to administer CPR until EMS arrives (if the coach does not know CPR, he or she is to find someone who does). If the coach gets fatigued in giving CPR, and someone else is around that knows CPR, he is to take a break and ask the other person to start CPR. If the AED is available, the coach is to open the AED and follow the given prompts. Continue AED or CPR until EMS arrives. Call the parents if not on site. Call Stephanie at 404-698-6495 and Scott Queen at 770-560-4183 Any time 911 is called the School Resource Officer needs to be contacted ASAP. There is a medical information sheet that must be filled out by the SRO or School Nurse. Also, the School Nurse needs to be aware of the incident for follow up procedures. The SRO will coordinate EMS reaching the injured student in a timely manner. CONCUSSION AWARENESS Dangers of concussions: Concussions at all levels of sports have received a great deal of attention and state law has been passed to address this issue. Adolescent athletes are particularly vulnerable to the effects of concussion. Once considered little more than a minor “ding” to the head, it is now understood that a concussion has the potential to result in death, or changes in brain function (either short-term or long-term). A concussion is a brain injury that results in a temporary disruption of normal brain function. A concussion occurs when the brain is violently rocked back and forth or twisted inside the skull as a result of a blow to the head or body. Continued participation in any sport following a concussion can lead to worsening concussion symptoms, as well as increased risk for further injury to the brain, and even death. Player and parental education in this area is crucial – that is the reason for this document. Refer to it regularly. This form must be signed by a parent or guardian of each student who wishes to participate in GHSA athletics. One copy needs to be returned to the school, and one retained at home. Common signs and symptoms of concussions: Headache, dizziness, poor balance, moves clumsily, reduced energy level/tiredness Nausea or vomiting. Blurred vision, sensitivity to light and sounds Fogginess of memory, difficulty concentrating, slowed thought processes, confused about surroundings or game assignments Unexplained changes in behavior and personality Loss of consciousness (NOTE: This does not occur in all concussion episodes.) BY-LAW 2.68: GHSA CONCUSSION POLICY : In accordance with Georgia law and national playing rules published by the National Federation of State High School Associations, any athlete who exhibits signs, symptoms, or behaviors consistent with a concussion shall be immediately removed from the practice or contest and shall not return to play until an appropriate health care professional has determined that no concussion has occurred. (NOTE: An appropriate health care professional may include licensed physician (MD/DO) or another licensed individual under the supervision of a licensed physician, such as a nurse practitioner, physician assistant, or certified athletic trainer who has received training in concussion evaluation and management. No athlete is allowed to return to a game or a practice on the same day that a concussion (a) has been diagnosed, OR (b) cannot be ruled out. Any athlete diagnosed with a concussion shall be cleared medically by an appropriate health care professional prior to resuming participation in any future practice or contest. The formulation of a gradual return to play protocol shall be a part of the medical clearance. It is mandatory that every coach in each GHSA sport participate in a free, online course on concussion management prepared by the NFHS and available at https://nfhslearn.com at least every two years. Each school will be responsible for monitoring the participation of its coaches in the concussion management course and shall keep a record of those who participate. BY-LAW 2.67 – PRACTICE POLICY FOR HEAT AND HUMIDITY Schools must follow the statewide policy for conducting practices and voluntary conditioning workouts in all sports during times of extremely high heat and/or humidity that will be signed by each head coach at the beginning of each season and distributed to all players and their parents or guardians. The policy shall follow modified guidelines of the American College of Sports Medicine regarding: The scheduling of practices at various heat/humidity levels The ratio of workout time to time allotted for rest and hydration at various heat/humidity levels The heat/humidity level that will result in practice being terminated A scientifically approved instrument that measures Wet Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT) reading must be utilized at each practice to ensure that the written policy is being followed properly. The Wet-Bulb Globe Temperature utilizes the following formula: .07 (humidity) + 0.2 (radiant heat) + 0.1 (ambient air temp) = WBGT. Here at ELCA, we use the Mannix, Model: SAM 990DW Digital Sling Psychrometer/Thermohydrometer to determine the Heat Index. After reviewing information from the GHSA, NFSHSA, and the NATA, we have concluded that the following guidelines regarding athletic participation in heat and humidity will be implemented. Based on the Wet-Bulb Globe Temperature Risk Chart: WBGT Reading - Activity & Rest Break Guidelines UNDER 82.0 - Normal activities. Provide at least three separate rest breaks each hour of minimum duration of 3 minutes each during workout. 82.0-86.9 - Use discretion for intense or prolonged exercise; watch at-risk players carefully; provide at least three separate rest breaks each hour of a minimum of four minutes duration each. 87.0-89.9 - Maximum practice time is two hours. For Football: players are restricted to helmet, shoulder pads, and shorts during practice. All protective equipment must be removed for conditioning activities. For all sports: Provide at least four separate rest breaks each hour of a minimum of four minutes each. 90.0-92.0 - Maximum length of practice is one hour, no protective equipment may be worn during practice and there may be no conditioning activities. There must be 20 minutes of rest breaks provided during the hour of practice. OVER 92 - No outdoor workouts; Cancel exercise; delay practices until a cooler WBGT reading occurs. Guidelines for Hydration and Rest Breaks: Rest time should involve both unlimited hydration intake (water or electrolyte drinks) and rest without any activity involved. For football, helmets should be removed during rest time. The site of the rest time should be a “cooling zone” and not in direct sunlight. When the WBGT reading is over 86: Ice towels and spray bottles filled with ice water should be available at the “cooling zone” to aid the cooling process. old immersion tubs must be available for practices for the benefit of any player showing early signs of heat illness. Definitions Practice: the period that a participant engages in a coach-supervised, school-approved sport or conditioning-related activity. Practices are timed from the time the players report to the field until they leave. Walk Through: this period shall last no more than one hour, is not considered to be a part of the practice time regulation and may not involve conditioning or weight-room activities. Players may not wear protective equipment. Weather Monitoring on Campus ELCA utilizes the Perry Weather monitoring system on campus to track and send alerts about lightning and heat conditions. For all outdoor athletic events including practices and games participation will cease when lightning comes within a 10-mile radius of campus. The Perry Weather monitoring station will make an audible alert to notify everyone the fields need to be cleared and when they can return to activity. For heat, the GHSA policy listed above will be followed based on an on campus WBGT reading. Our athletic trainer, Stephanie, will also monitor and be in communication with coaches when adverse weather conditions are in the area. GENERAL RULES 1. No fund-raising or team-purchasing may be done without approval from the AD 2. All athletes are to take good care of the school’s equipment, facilities, and vehicles. 3. Athletes should never be in or on any athletic facility without a coach’s supervision. 4. Athletes are required to turn in his/her uniform within two weeks of the last game. 5. Athletes, coaches, and parents should always display good sportsmanship! EAGLE'S LANDING CHRISTIAN ACADEMY ATHLETIC HANDBOOK

PREPARATION FOR GRADUATION, COLLEGE, AND BEYOND Our Guidance and Academic Counseling Office provides academic counseling services for all high school students in grades 9-12. Students can attend curriculum nights throughout the school year and receive course advisement from an academic team member, with each student assigned an individual advisor for course registration. Students are encouraged to ask questions as they choose their academic path for the following school year based on teacher recommendations and interests. Here is an overview of what you can expect by grade level. 9th Grade At the beginning of the year, a Guidance and Academic Counselor spends time in the classroom with students, sharing graduation requirements, college admissions information, freshman year timeline, and extracurricular activities. Our counselor also prepares an individualized graduation plan template, which helps them keep track of their courses, grades, and activities, as well as provides information on how to research colleges. Students are encouraged to review results and areas of weakness from the PSAT/Pre ACT tests, sign up for our SAT/ACT prep courses, and begin monitoring their GPA. 10th Grade During the advisement registration process, we suggest students take the most rigorous courses they can while still being successful. We also encourage students to review their graduation plan while we help to keep them focused on their goals by providing them a sophomore year timeline. Students begin researching colleges and majors that may interest them and are encouraged to begin touring colleges and meeting with college representatives that visit our campus. GPA monitoring, PSAT/Pre ACT test reviews, and SAT/ACT prep course sign-ups are also recommended. 11th Grade While actively continuing with their graduation plan, juniors will be provided with a junior/senior year timeline as well. Beginning in the second semester, the Guidance and Academic Counselor provides each junior with a “Best Test Letter,” to assist students in understanding which college entrance test will be most beneficial for them; our academic team uses a student's historical data to reveal their testing aptitude. Students are encouraged to begin taking the SAT and/or ACT in the spring (and continue taking the test until they are satisfied with their score). Additionally, the College Placement Counselor assists students in identifying interests, colleges, scholarship opportunities, and possible careers. In late spring, each junior will have the opportunity to meet individually with their College Placement Counselor in preparation for the college application season. To help students in their quest for outstanding college application recommendations, our College Placement Counselor provides each student with their unique “Brag Sheet." This sheet helps both teachers and counselors as they are called upon to provide letters of recommendation as our students begin applying to some of our nation's most prestigious colleges and universities. 12th Grade Students seamlessly transition from their 11th-grade expectations to senior year, guided by a comprehensive timeline. They refine their graduation plan, leveraging it as a valuable tool throughout their college application process. In August, a dedicated "Senior Transition" night is held for both parents and students, offering crucial insights into college admissions procedures, essay crafting, and securing outstanding letters of recommendation, as well as highlighting upcoming senior festivities and graduation. Meanwhile, the College Placement Counselor initiates personalized meetings with each 12th grader, providing tailored support during the pivotal college application phase. As acceptances and scholarships roll in, counselors proudly showcase these achievements on our vibrant "Oh Baby the Places You Will Go" board, fostering a spirit of celebration and inspiration across the student body. ENCOURAGING SOCIAL, EMOTIONAL, AND SPIRITUAL GROWTH High school can be a challenging season as teens are balancing ways to grow in their faith, build community, and understand the long-term impact their actions will have on future goals. We guide our students through this time by: inspiring compassion through meaningful service work and annual mission trips. Students participate in outreach to others in need, such as through Operation Christmas Child, Sunrise Cafe, local food bank distributions, and sponsoring children from other countries. building support through peer accountability groups High school students cultivate confidence and self-esteem as they forge positive connections with peers, all while nurturing their spiritual growth and personal relationship with Jesus Christ. fostering leadership development with student tutoring opportunities . Our high school students are afforded a distinctive chance to engage in our peer tutoring initiative, where they develop leadership skills and gain invaluable insights into the responsibilities of employment, all while fostering an environment of encouragement and collective success.

"Eagle's Landing Christian Academy has raised the standards by which all other Christian schools should be measured with regard to students with learning challenges such as dyslexia." -Robert Langston Author, Motivational Speaker and Consultant CEO, The Dyslexia Educational Network, Inc. MERIT ACCOMMODATIONS MERIT CLASSES MERIT STARS In grades 3 through 5, MERIT features an opportunity for students to receive assistance in the area of reading. FACS (Fluency and Comprehension Skills) is a small reading class setting offered to students who are struggling with reading processes within the classroom. All work is on grade level and aligned with ELCA standards. The goal of the program is to assist students in becoming proficient readers who have a comprehensive understanding of what they read in all subject areas. Low student/teacher ratios help with individualizing instruction for each student based on their needs with an average 7:1 ratio in FACS. FACS / Student Support Educator: Dee Kirby MERIT provides classes within the department for middle and high school students in the areas of math, science, history, language arts, and foreign language. Enrollment is limited by space and requires a diagnosis or a teacher recommendation. All of the work is taught on grade level with academically rigorous curricula aligned with the scope and sequences of ELCA’s traditional classes. These courses are crafted with embedded accommodations designed to ultimately help the student be successful after MERIT. With a low student to teacher to ratio (10:1 average), teachers provide focused attention and alternate methods of teaching that are more conducive to non-traditional learners. One successful tenet of MERIT classes is the incorporation of application based projects to connect subject matter to real world experience. Director of Student Support Services: Dr. Anna King 10 MYTHS ABOUT MERIT SUCCESS IN MERIT CLASSES Qualifications for receiving Student Support Services within the MERIT Program: A student must be identified through a multi-faceted evaluation as having a learning difference in the area(s) of reading, written expression, math computation, problem solving, receptive or expressive language. Other areas of learning difference may include, but not limited to, organizational skills, attention problems, hyperactivity, spatial organization, sensory integration, speech and language, processing, social, and fine or gross motor skills. The student must continue to function within the curriculum requirements for his/her grade level. There is no specialized instruction. MERIT personnel will assist the identified student in becoming an active and competent learner in the classroom in the following ways: MERIT personnel will work in conjunction with the student’s classroom teachers to develop a learning profile on each student. MERIT personnel will develop an intervention plan that compliments the student’s learning profile and outlines the specific interventions that will be made for the student. MERIT personnel will communicate regularly with classroom teachers to discuss the student’s progress and continuous needs. MERIT personnel will submit regular progress updates to parents. MERIT personnel will schedule parent meetings at the beginning of each semester. A mid-semester meeting may be held if deemed necessary by parents, teachers, or M.E.R.I.T. personnel. MERIT personnel will coordinate and assist with multi-faceted evaluations provided privately or through local school districts. MERIT personnel will attend I.E.P. meetings at public schools. MERIT personnel will collaborate with the school nurse regarding medication issues or concerns as necessary. The MERIT Program will offer indirect support, direct support, or complete support to each student. Parents will select the option that best meets their child’s needs. Executive Administrative Assistant: Miranda Mirocha MERIT FACS The STARS program (Strategies Targeted at Reading Success) supplies enrichment for kindergarten through second grade readers using the Orton-Gillingham approach as its foundation. This highly structured program introduces the idea of breaking reading and spelling down into smaller skills involving letters and sounds, and then building on these skills over time. Students are involved in multi-sensory activities throughout this class to help strengthen phonemic awareness, phonics, vocabulary development, fluency and comprehension. Students use sight, hearing, touch and movement to connect language with letters and words. Low student/teacher ratios help with individualizing instruction for each student based on their needs with an average 5:1 ratio for the STARS program. STARS / Student Support Educator: Maggie Wynn Blakely Bradley MERIT GROW In grades 3 through 5, MERIT features an opportunity for students to receive assistance in the area of math. GROW (Grasping Reasoning Operations and Whole Numbers) assists students on improving number sense, algebraic thinking, data and measurement, and fractions. All work is on grade level and aligned with ELCA standards. Students have embedded review and added time for practice, in conjunction with the ELCA curriculum and another tech platform. In addition, students are given multi-layered help: visual, kinesthetic, auditory, and other hands on experiences. Low student/teacher ratios help with individualizing instruction for each student based on their needs with an average 7:1 ratio in GROW. GROW / Student Support Educators: Blakeley Bradley Angie Stitt MERIT ARROWSMITH The Arrowsmith Program is offered world-wide and ELCA is the only school offering the Arrowsmith Program in the state. Georgia is one of only 25 states where it is hosted. The Arrowsmith Program is based on the philosophy that it is possible to address specific learning difficulties by identifying and strengthening cognitive capacities. Third grade through middle school students may begin this program. Arrowsmith targets the root causes of learning differences through individualized student programming. Upon completion of Arrowsmith, the student will need little to no accommodations in the classroom. Arrowsmith is based upon innovative neuroscience research supporting that it is possible to improve cognitive function. Arrowsmith is a community, and our aim is that our students will: strengthen their cognitive capacities underlying their learning difficulties advance in the desire to become life-long, self-motivated learners develop and maintain confidence and a sense of their self-worth The cognitive program addresses learning differences including: Reading Writing Mathematics Comprehension Logical Reasoning Executive Function Visual Memory Auditory Memory Dyslexia Non-Verbal Learning Auditory Processing Attention One parent describes this program as life-changing. “My son graduated from the Arrowsmith program two years ago. When he entered the program in the 6th grade, he had a lack of confidence and faced many academic challenges. Arrowsmith has been an answer to prayer for our son. He is now a very confident 11th grader and is maintaining an A average. The Arrowsmith Program has opened up doors of opportunity for our son and given him a beautiful gift...unlimited possibilities for his future. We will forever be grateful for the Arrowsmith Program.” Arrowsmith / Student Support Educator : Lisa Schuerman ARROWSMITH WEBSITE MERIT SPEECH & TUTORING SPEECH and TUTORING We are fortunate to have a private speech therapist on staff who offers on-site speech evaluations and in-person speech therapy.
