 Academic, Attendance & Eligibility Expectations

Student-athletes must be in their assigned class during academic periods. Roaming the building during class time—especially for extended periods and without a pass—may result in write-ups and being marked unexcused.

Please note:

• Being marked unexcused for any portion of the school day results in athletic ineligibility for that day’s events.

• Arriving late to school, unless properly excused (doctor’s appointments, verified appointments, etc.), may also result in ineligibility for athletic participation that day.

These expectations apply to all student-athletes and all athletic programs.

 Spring Sports Information

• Pitchers & Catchers (HS Baseball & Softball) report on March 23 (times TBD).

• All other high school spring sports officially begin March 30.

• Athletic registration will likely open sometime in February. More information will be shared once registration is live.
