Parent and Applicant Notice

We would like to remind you that your son is applying for membership for Boys’ League, a club at La Quinta High School. Here are a few Q&A for any information regarding this organization:
Q: What is Boys’ League?

1.  Boys’ League is a male organization composed of campus leaders who strive to improve both the community and themselves.

2.  The prevailing goals of this club are to encourage integration into the school community and to promote the ideals of brotherhood.

Q: What is your son’s time commitment?

·  At least, once-a-week- meeting on Tuesday at lunch

·  Officer meetings: Once a week at 7 am

·  At least one community service and social every month (2-6 hours)

·  December-February must be opened

Q: What is the Parents/Guardians’ responsibilities?

Being a part of Boys’ League extends outside of weekly meetings; Boys’ League membership spans to school, home, and the community. As such, we require that your son be committed and dedicated to Boys’ League, and we urge you to understand exactly how high this level of commitment stands. As a parent, you should be able to make this commitment together, with you understanding your son’s obligation, and with your child fulfilling this obligation as well. Also, we ask that you and your child understand the cost that comes with being a Boys’ League member: the end-of-year banquet, clothes, uniform, nametag, and school events.

We remind you that, in the case where your child is deemed a worthy member of Boys’ League, he will be picked up for an early breakfast and inauguration. In this scenario, we shall inform you of this date in advance and urge you to keep this information private, especially with regard to your son.

If you agree, understand the purpose of Boys’ League, and are willing to undertake this commitment along with your child, please sign and date below with your child. Thank you for your consideration in this matter.
