Eligibility for Sports, Activities, Events, Etc.

ELIGIBILITY FOR SPORTS, ACTIVITIES AND PROGRAMS

Every McClure student will be expected to conform to behavior and academic standards in order to participate in sports, clubs and special activities. Students may try out for sports while they are ineligible, but not while they are suspended. Students who become ineligible during a season or in preparation for a performance are expected to attend all practices; however, they may not participate in practice, games or any other performance until they have regained eligibility. If any student remains ineligible for longer than a twenty (20) school day period, they may be dropped from the sport or activity. Any student who is suspended from school may not practice or participate in any sport, activity or program until the suspension is completed and eligibility has been regained.

Please note: Band and orchestra are viewed by the district as academic classes. As a result, academic eligibility does not impact a student’s ability to attend sectional classes, rehearsals, or performances. However, participation in elective musical opportunities including, but not limited to, Jazz Band, Pep Band, and Chamber Orchestra are not considered academic classes; therefore, eligibility standards do apply.

EVENTS

All special events are viewed as student privileges and in order to participate, students are expected to be currently eligible and to display appropriate conduct. Any student who is ineligible may not attend extra-curricular events or parties. Students who are on discipline ineligibility may not attend assemblies or field trips. Students with behavior problems may warrant exclusion.
