Absenteeism

In order for a student-athlete to participate in a practice or contest, he or she must attend school for the half of a school day.  Exceptions to this policy are only permitted by administrative approval.  

Coaches are to observe to following steps:

Check the daily attendance sheet to determine whether or not your student-athletes are absent.  Question any athlete who was absent from school, but shows up for practice or an event.

Receive either written or oral permission from the administration before allowing the athlete to participate.  Participation should not be allowed if prior arrangements have not been made by the athlete’s parents or the administration.
