Dear Parent/Guardian:
As of Fall 2010, an updated Medford School Committee policy requires that all participants in a Medford High School interscholastic athletic program pay a $200.00 User Fee for the following sports Football and/or Hockey, all other sports participants will pay a $175.00 User Fee. However, no family is to exceed $500.00 for the three sports seasons (fall, winter and spring). This has been the policy for over fifteen years. Users’ Fees represent an important source of revenue for the varied and comprehensive sports programs offered to students attending Medford High School. This fee is not refundable. The fee covers transportation costs, equipment, athletic insurance and reconditioning of equipment.
Any student currently participating or planning to participate in any sport should provide a check for $200.00 (if playing football or hockey) and a check for $175.00 if participating in any of the other sports at Medford High School. Please make the check payable to the Medford High School Athletic Department, and have your son/daughter return the signed User Fee form along with payment to his/her coach. No student will be allowed to participate in a sport without the required fee.
Enclosed is a copy of the M.H.S. Rules for Student Athletes, Substance Abuse Policy and Permission for Treatment. Written acknowledgment of the same is required, by signing the last page and returning with your son/daughter’s Users’ Fee. This policy will be discussed with both parents and student athletes during individual team meetings with their coaches.
If you have any questions regarding this, please call me. Your prompt attention to this matter is greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation in this matter.
Sincerely,
Robert Maloney
Director of Athletics
