ATHLETE EXPECTATIONS

Being a student-athlete is a privilege and athletes must understand that they are representing themselves, their team, their coaches and their school at all times and should serve as positive role models to other students. With this in mind, the expectations for our student-athletes include: responsibility, respect, sportsmanship, work ethic, and commitment.  Any serious disciplinary action may result in ineligibility and/or possible removal from the team.

 

SPORT DONATIONS

We are asking for a $50 (per sport) donation this year. With the current budget crisis many junior highs and high schools are being forced to reduce and/or even eliminate their after school sports programs which is why we are please asking for you help to ensure that our athletic programs will be able to continue. All of our current athletic funding comes directly from these donations and fund raising. Our costs for athletics include officials/referees, uniforms/equipment, and transportation (buses) for track.

 

ATHLETIC ELIGIBILITY

To be eligible to participate in athletics a student must maintain a minimum grade point average of 2.00 with no “F”s and no unsatisfactory “U” citizenship marks for the previous grading period. Students who drop below a 2.00 during season will be placed on probation; athletes on probation may not participate in any games and may not miss class to travel to games until their grades are brought back up above a 2.00. Follow up grade checks will be used to determine eligibility; if at the follow up grade check the athlete is still below a 2.00 they will be removed from the team and ineligible for the remainder of that season.

 

ABSENCES/ATTENDANCE

Students must attend at least half of the school day to participate in any athletic contest that day (The exception would be for a student who misses class for a funeral with approval from an Administrator or the Athletic Director). Also, a student is required to participate in full Physical Education class in order to practice or play on that day.
