Participation Conflict Guidelines

MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOL (6-12) ACTIVITIES PARTICIPATION CONFLICT GUIDELINES

For music and drama directors, athletic coaches, parents and students

Many of our students are involved in several activities which occasionally conflict with each other outside of the school day. Academic and co-curricular leaders should make every effort to work with the student to determine a positive solution that allows the student to attend part of both activities.

Music/Athletics

• Concert vs. practice – student goes to the concert

• One of the three designated curricular music concerts vs. game – student attends the concert since this is an academic class (they are earning a grade for the concert).

• Performance dress rehearsal vs. practice – student’s decision.

• Performance dress rehearsal vs. game – Student attends game.

• Concert vs. regional/state competitions – student attends competitions.

Drama/Athletics

• Curricular production vs. game – Student attends the production.

• Co-curricular production vs. practice – Student goes to the production.

• Co-curricular production tech rehearsal vs. practice – Student attends the tech rehearsal.

• Co-curricular production tech rehearsal vs. game – Student attends game.

In the event that a state drama/music event and a NDHSAA state tournament occur simultaneously, the students, teacher and parents would work together for a decision in the best interest of the student.
