Attendance Policy for School Sponsored Activities For Members Participating or Just Attending:
All school sponsored activities are included within this policy.
Participation in school activities requires students to meet certain attendance and academic eligibility requirements. This eligibility will be determined on a midterm basis. Any student doing failing work in two subjects will be ineligible for all interscholastic activities for the following week. (Example: On Monday morning of each week, if a student is failing two or more subjects the student will be ineligible until the following Monday.). If a student is failing one class or has a grade of a D in two (2) classes, the student will be put on notice by his/her coach. If you have any questions, contact your coach or athletic director.
Students who attend or participate in a school sponsored activity must be in attendance a minimum of one-half day on the day of the activity in order to be eligible for participation. Four complete periods of school shall constitute one-half day of attendance. Students who fail to meet this criteria shall be ineligible to attend or participate in school activities or practice sessions for the day. This policy may be waived by the administration in the event of an immediate family emergency.
All students traveling to a school sponsored event away from the school district will ride the school sponsored transportation with their coach or activity sponsor. With special arrangements, students may be transported to or from these events by their parents but this should be approved in advance by the coach/activity sponsor and/or administration.
This attendance policy will also apply to students who may want to attend a school sponsored activity but are not participating. Students who fail to meet the attendance criteria OR who leave school due to illness shall be ineligible to attend a school activity. If a student does attend a school activity, then the absence will be considered an unexcused absence and dealt with accordingly.
