Athletics & Activities

Each participant shall be in attendance at school all day, each day that practices, contests, performances, or activities are held unless the absence is prearranged or excused through the Athletic Director or Principal.  A participant shall also be in all classes on Friday to be eligible to participate in a Friday, Saturday, or Sunday activity, unless prearranged or excused by the Athletic Director or Principal.  Coaches are responsible for checking absences before their practices.

Students who are not demonstrating adequate academic performance may be assigned academic study hall.  (Adequate performance is defined as maintaining a 2.0 or greater GPA with no D's or F's.)  Any athlete assigned academic study hall MUST report to the Reset Room no later than 3:30 pm and stay until 4:00 pm.  If the student fails to comply, he/she will not be allowed to practice that day and will have consultation with the building principal, behavior specialist and/or athletic director.  Any absences from athletic study hall must be preapproved with the building principal PRIOR to the day of absence.  If a student is picked up during the day, he/she shall confirm that the office will communicate with the building principal to schedule an alternate study hall day/time.

Transportation for participants to and from out-of-town contests and activities is provided by Bandon School District.  Each participant shall travel with the team or group to all out-of-town contests and activities and shall return with the team or group.  This includes all support personnel including, but not limited to, managers, statisticians, camera people, and accompanists.  A participant may leave with a parent of legal guardian only after a written request, dated and signed by that person, is given to the responsible director/coach and with the director/coach’s permission or the permission of the building principal or athletic director.

Spectators should understand that their behavior is a reflection upon HLMS/BSD while attending any athletic contest or activity after school.  Students are expected to conduct themselves according to all school rules and to the following guidelines:

1. You should always be courteous to other spectators attending the contest.

2. Encourage and support your team, but do not make negative comments to or about members of the visiting team.

3. Remain in the area where the contest is taking place.  Students who are not watching the contest but are just playing around in the halls or outside will be asked to leave and may lose their privilege to attend future events.

Any student wishing to attend dances and extracurricular activities shall be in attendance on that school day.  Students that attend these events must stay for the entire time period unless a parent is present to pick them up.  Students that leave early without permission will not be allowed back into the event.  Students must arrive at the event within a ½ hour of the start time.  Parents must arrive promptly to pick up their student.  Students that are not picked up within 15 minutes of the conclusion of the event will not be allowed to come to the next event. 

Students must be registered at HLMS by attending classes in order to attend dances.  Students participating in homeschooling that live in the Bandon School District #54 boundaries must make pre-arrangements for participation by contacting the HLMS Office at least 3 days prior to the event. No guests are allowed without prior approval.
