A message from Veg!

District Mandated Requirements for Volunteers driving MMS Students to and from Athletic Events:

1. Volunteers driving students alone, with no other adult in the vehicle, must be finger-printed. District will pay fees for this process, this year only.

2. All Drivers must have a current TB Test on File.
-Next available date: September 8th 2:00pm - 5:30pm and
September 15th 9:00am - 11:00am.
- These tests are taken at the Mariposa County Health Department. No appointments needed and these tests are free.

3. All Drivers must purchase ($5.00) a "H6" printout from the DMV. These printouts will provide your driving record for the last ten years. The DMV suggests that each parent make an appointment so that no one has to wait in line.

4. All Drivers must provide a copy of both their driver's license and copy of vehicle insurance.

5. Each Driver and Parent must complete the required waivers in order for their student to ride in any vehicle to an athletic function or fieldtrip. Forms will be made available at the mandatory parent meeting Thursday, August 27th.

We apologize for any inconvenience and for any fees, but we appreciate your help and support immensely. These mandates are for the safety of your child. The Coaches and Athletic Director are also required to meet these requirements. Thank you and we look forward to a fun and rewarding season! Go Bears!
