Since the influence of students participating in extracurricular activities extends beyond the school campus, these students assume additional responsibility for proper behavior and leadership. This responsibility requires that student participants observe the Student Discipline Policy (please refer to the school Student Handbook) off campus, during non-school hours, as well as during the school day, at school functions, and traveling to and from school or school functions.

Participation in interscholastic athletics in Southwest Allen County Schools (SACS) is a privilege open to students who maintain the requirements of the SACS Athletic policies, the Indiana High School Athletic Association (IHSAA), and specific policies of their sport. Student-athletes in violation of any of these requirements are no longer considered in “good standing” and may not be eligible for athletic participation according to the specified sanctions (please refer to the school Student Handbook). Since extracurricular participation is an honor and a privilege, participating shall require a review of the student code of conduct by parents and students including certification of understanding through parent and student signatures. It is the intent of this policy for students to assume personal responsibility for visible leadership in upholding the standards and expectations of representatives of our school.

Midterm Grades:

Students involved in extracurricular activities who earn an “F” at midterm shall be on probationary status. This means that the student may continue to practice with his or her team, but must miss a minimum of one competition. Furthermore, the student cannot participate in games, meets, matches, etc. until a grade printout is submitted to the athletic director, which indicates that he/she is passing all classes. Students are responsible for seeing that the athletic director receives the grade reports. Our expectations are that students take responsibility for the improvement of grades for eligibility and for the subsequent procurement and submission of passing grade reports. Once the grade printout has been verified by a school administrator, the student's coach(es) will be notified. After the grade printout has been verified and the coach has been notified, the student is eligible to participate in competitions and is no longer on a probationary status. 

Quarter Grades:

Students involved in extracurricular activities who earn an “F” on a grade card shall be on probationary status. This means that the student may continue to practice with his or her team, but cannot participate in games, meets, matches, etc. for a period of ten (10) school days. At the end of the probationary period, the student becomes eligible when the student submits a grade printout to the athletic director, which indicate that he/she is passing all courses. Students are responsible for seeing that the athletic director receives the grade reports. Our expectations are that students take responsibility for the improvement of grades for eligibility and for the subsequent procurement and submission of passing grade reports. Once the grade printout has been verified by a school administrator, the student's coach(es) will be notified. After the grade printout has been verified and the coach has been notified, the student is eligible to participate in competitions and is no longer on a probationary status. If the student fails to be passing at the end of this probation period, he/she shall remain on probation until he/she can show passing grades in all courses.

At a minimum, students must be in attendance from 10:55 a.m. until the conclusion of the school day to participate in extracurricular activities and/or athletic events.
