• Student Athletes must be in school no later than 30 minutes after the start of the school day on a game or practice day. Unexcused tardiness will deem student athletes ineligible for that day.

• Student Athletes who arrive more than 30 minutes after the start of the school day and/or class and who have accumulated three unexcused tardies will miss the next scheduled contest.

• Missing practices/games to attend family vacations, school trips, college visits, family outings and personal trips may impact game time participation.

It is understandable situations may occur which may result in parental input or notification. When writing excuse notes for student athletes, please use integrity. It is important we are mindful of the message we are all sending and that information shared is accurate.

Academic Eligibility

All Student Athletes must maintain passing grades in all classes. High school athletes must be enrolled in 4 classes, and middle school athletes must be enrolled in a full-time program of studies. Academic eligibility will be determined at progress reports and the end of quarterly marking periods.

Academic Probation

Note: A probationary period does not end until the Student Athlete achieves passing grades. This time period may cross over from one sport season to the next based on the time of year.

At Progress Reports

• Student Athletes will be placed on academic probation for failing one course on the date progress reports grades are finalized. Once placed on probation, the Student Athlete may attend practices but may not participate in any contests until passing all classes. Weekly reports will be required by the Student Athlete for all subjects to ensure good academic standing is maintained throughout the probationary period. If at any time the Student Athlete is failing a class, Student Athlete will be deemed ineligible to participate in any contests until passing all classes.

• Student Athletes failing more than one class will be deemed ineligible and may not participate in practices or contests until passing all classes, at which time they may return to full team participation and activities. Weekly reports will be required by the Student Athlete for all subjects to ensure good academic standing is maintained throughout the probationary period. If at any time the Student Athlete is failing a class, Student Athlete will be deemed ineligible to participate in any practices and/or contests until passing all classes.

At Report Cards

• Student Athletes who fail one class at the end of a quarter will be placed on probation for a minimum of two weeks. Once placed on probation, the Student Athlete may attend practices but may not participate in any contests. Student Athlete will become eligible to play at the end of the 2nd week of the new term if passing all classes. If the Student Athlete is NOT passing at the end of the 2-week period, academic probation will remain until the Student Athlete is passing all classes.

• Student Athletes who fail two or more classes at the end of a marking period will be placed on probation for a minimum of two weeks. Once placed on probation, the student athlete may not participate in practices or contests. The Student Athlete will become eligible to play at the end of the 2nd week of the new term if passing all classes. If the Student Athlete is NOT passing at the end of the 2-week period, academic probation will remain until the Student Athlete is passing all classes.

Student Athletes on probation are still expected to attend all practices, contests and team events.

Release from Probation

Student Athletes on any type of probation must follow these steps in order to be released from probation:

1. Student achieves passing grades in all classes.

2. Student takes a screenshot of grades and emails it to Dean of Students.

3. The Dean of Students confirms and then notifies the student, parents, coaches, and AD that the student is released from probation.

Note: The Dean of Students will have 24 hours from the time of student notification to confirm eligibility. The Student Athlete will not be eligible until the Dean of Students has confirmed.
