Important to Know
About Voluntary Sport Donations
Students who participate in athletic programs are encouraged to support a voluntary one-time sports program donation each season. This amount varies by sport and helps cover the cost of bus transportation, uniforms, equipment, coaches, and tournaments for the year. Your coach will inform you of the voluntary donation amount.
The Poway Unified School District appreciates school-community cooperation to support our various athletic programs. Most schools like Del Norte High School can no longer afford to fund many athletic programs and activities, so voluntary donations from parents or guardians are requested to offset costs.
California law does not allow school districts to require fees from students for curricular and extracurricular activities. All students may participate in extracurricular activities regardless of whether a donation is made.
