 ACADEMIC ELIGIBILITY

ATTENDANCE ELIGIBILITY

Daily attendance at school and practice is expected.  In order to be eligible to participate in any after school activity, athletes must be present in school on the day of the activity.  If the activity is to be held on a Saturday, then the student must be in attendance on the preceding Friday. 

To be considered present in school, a student must be in school at least one half of the school day.  They may not check-in any later than the 4th period or check out prior to the conclusion of s period on the said day.  If he/she is not in school for at least one half of the school day, then he/she is not to participate in the activity.  Practices are considered an activity.  Any exceptions to this rule must be approved by the Principal or the Athletic Director of the school.

An athlete must be in school on a regular basis in order to be eligible to participate in athletics.  An athlete who accumulates excessive unexcused absences or tardies will be subject to discipline by the administration. 

CONDUCT ELIGIBILITY

All students are expected to conduct themselves at all times and in all places in a manner that reflects positively on the school and/or its programs.  In addition to following the rules and guidelines set forth by the 91HUB County Student Code of Conduct and the Student Athletic Handbook, student athletes are expected to adhere to individual sport policies and procedures.  Violations of school rules, disruptive behavior, showing disrespect toward school staff, unsportsmanlike conduct, and/or committing any act that reflects negatively on the Athletic Department will not be tolerated and such actions could lead to eligibility restrictions.  If the behavior is serious enough, the athlete may be placed on probation or suspended from participation. 

If a violation of the Code of Conduct occurs in the latter part of a sport and the athlete cannot fulfill the terms of his/her consequences, the suspension will carry over to another sport.  When serving a school suspension, including out of school suspension or Alternative school placement, the student athlete will be ineligible for all contests and practices during the suspension period.  Attendance at athletic events is prohibited during the suspension period regardless of whether you are a participant or a spectator.  In school detention (ISD) does not count as suspension and athletes will be allowed to participate at the conclusion of the school day. 

Consequences for off campus violations of the Code of Conduct or the student athlete handbook will not be based on hearsay or rumor.  When there is a reasonable knowledge and belief based on the facts and circumstances or when there is admission of guilt by the athlete to a violation, student athletes are subject to discipline by school administration. 

The rules under this section are enforced twelve months of the year for athletes in grades 7-12.
