Behavior/Qualities of a Ridge Cheerleader • Cheerleaders are expected to be good ambassadors for Ridge Junior School • We feel strongly that cheerleaders should represent the school in a positive manner both academically and socially. • Failure to do so will result in being benched or dismissed from the squad
Time Commitment • Attendance is mandatory • practices AND games • If there is a situation where your daughter must be absent, we need a note or email in advance although she may still have to sit for a quarter or more • Please schedule doctor appointments around cheer practice if possible

Grades/Eligibility • Low grades are not tolerated • Eligibility: • Every week girls will take a paper eligibility form to their teachers. If their grade is fine, teachers will either write their grade or write OK. • Girls should get these filled out on MONDAYS • If grades are not acceptable (D or F), teacher will write grade. • If a cheerleader has an F, they will not cheer that entire week. • No eligibility = NO CHEERING
Games • Games are Wednesdays (with one Saturday exception) • 7th grade: 4:30 • 8th grade: 5:45 • Home games are played here at Ridge • Girls will go home after school for home games and return for the games • For away games, girls will stay after school and ride a bus to the games but WILL NOT have transportation back.
