In Season Eligibility and Behavior Expectations
Academics First Policy
Weekly grade checks to determine weekly eligibility. Any student who has one failing (F) grade and an additional D or F will be placed on academic probation.
The process is two fold:
- The first grade check is run and if any athlete has at least one failing grade and one additional D or F they will have a week of probation to improve their grades. SOAR (after school tutoring) is available and will be coordinated with coaches and athletes to help the student improve their grades.
- A week later, another grade check will take place and if the student still has one failing grade and one additional D or F, he or she will be ineligible from competitions the following week (i.e Friday to Friday). Practice participation is up to each individual coach.
3 Strike Policy
Student athletes are not only expected to be in good academic standing but behavior standing as well. Student athletes are expected to follow all the school rules and expectations just like the rest of the student body. Not following the school rules and expectations will result in the student athlete starting the 3-strike policy.
Strike 1 – Conference with athlete, parent/guardian notified.
Strike 2 – Conference with athlete, parent/guardian notified, school administration notified.
Strike 3 – Athlete is removed from the team.
Out of School Suspension – 2 Strikes
In school Suspension – 1 Strike
(Students may not participate in games or practices on which days they are serving OSS or ISS)
School administration reserves the right to make exceptions as deemed necessary.
