I understand that being a part of the GDC Competition Team is a big commitment both financially and also with time. I understand that my child has been chosen for a GDC Competition Team, and this is top priority over all other activities for other things such as Sports and Extra Curricular Activities, and agree to not miss classes during ANY and ALL blackout weeks that are listed on my calendar. The only acceptable exception would be due to illness that would require an absence necessary to maintain the health of other students and faculty. *
