Attendance Policy
A student must be recorded as present before
8:30 a.m. or they cannot participate in any practice or game that day without
the consent of the Athletic Director or Principal. Any athlete who is dismissed
during the day and cannot return before the close of school must receive
approval from the Athletic Director or Principal to participate that day.
An athlete who is absent without prior approval of the Athletic Director or Principal may not participate in a game or practice that day (including fictitious “senior skip day”). Athletes assigned disciplinary after school detention by either the administration or a teacher must attend as directed.
An athlete excused from physical education class for medical reasons may not participate in athletics until physical education classes are resumed and the athletic director receives a written note from the school nurse.
Prompt attendance is mandatory for all practices and meetings scheduled by the coach. It is the responsibility of the athlete to gain permission from the coach to miss a practice, prior to and not after the practice if there is a need to be excused. Acceptable reasons for missing a practice include, but are not limited to an extra help session with a teacher, tutorial assistance, medical and dental appointments which cannot be rescheduled, or any family emergency.
An athlete must be present at the practice preceding a game to participate in the game, unless excused by the coach.
