Re: Team Member Expectations

My team meets 6p-9p every Monday through Friday and 9:30 to 3:30 every Saturday of build season as base hours. There is typically changes in who may be asked to come one night or added hours for a skeleton crew before a weekday meeting or after a Saturday meeting.

Attendance is something we have to stress with how many members we have bordering 60 when the season started. It is entirely expected that a person must show up to any and every merting unless they have emailed one of the faculty sponsors ahead of time to let them know. If it is unexcused the receive a absence, and if you get 10 during the whole year you are no longer on the team due to lack of commitment. Of course grades are a top priority and students have to be academically eligible to show up to a meeting (our district states no grades less than a C-) and if you do not have an eligible grade you are asked to stay home to work on getting it up if you can.

At the meetings, you are expected to be productive and work, so if you run out of things to do after a while you should ask if anyone needs help, if not go home so to not be a distraction to those who have something to do. This no one seems to get the concept of and many loiter at meetings which personally stresses me out. This is also mainly a problem due to the size of how many people exactly are on our team this year.
