SUBLIMITY MIDDLE
SCHOOL 2007-2008 ATHLETIC
HANDBOOK
SUBLIMITY INTERSCHOLASTIC PROGRAM: Fall Girls’ Volleyball (7th & 8th Grade) Boys’ Football (Stayton Middle School -- 7th & 8th Grade) Boys’ and Girls’ Soccer (Stayton Middle School-7th&8th grade) Early Winter Girls’ Basketball (7th & 8th Grade) Girls’ Dance (Stayton Middle School- 6th, 7th, & 8th) Boys’ Wrestling (Stayton High School –6th, 7th & 8th ) Late Winter Boys’ Basketball (7th & 8th Grade) Spring Boys’/Girls’; Track (6th, 7th & 8th Grade) Boys’ Baseball - 7th & 8th Grade( 1- Stayton Middle School; 1 Sublimity) Girls’ Softball - 7th & 8th Grade (Stayton Middle School) SPORTS ELIGIBILITY Students participating in Extra-Curricular Activities will be expected to maintain high academic standards in order to be eligible to participate. Students grades in all classes must be a C or higher to be eligible. Each week, teachers will be expected to check current grades for athletes on their weekly travel cards. This will be done each Friday (or last day of the week) Students who have a D or an F in a class will have a one-week period of Academic Probation. During that time they must bring the grade to a C or better. If the student has not brought the grade up by the following Friday’s grade check, they will be deemed ineligible for the remainder of the season. One probationary week will be given to one student in each class per sports season. If a student successfully gets his or her grade up in a class but then allows the grade to later fall below a C, then the student will become ineligible. Students will be designated as on Probation or Ineligible on a per-class basis. Example: if a student is put on Probation for Math but then later drops to a D in Social Studies, the prior probation has no bearing on the new low grade. Sublimity Athletic Rules 1. All school rules apply 2. Students are to ride the bus to and from events UNLESS they have written permission from a parent to ride with someone else or UNLESS their parent checks in personally with the coach to take them home directly from a meet. 3. Students are responsible for their uniforms. The athlete will replace any lost uniforms. 4. Students should make clear arrangements for transportation home after practice and not hang around school. 5. Some games and practices are not directly after school, so students may not leave school grounds unless they have a parent permission slip excusing him/her for an appointment. Students are to stay on campus and study or read before the practice or game; if another team is playing in a game, they should be at the game supporting that team. 6. All athletes are required to have a signed athletic permission form prior to practice or competitions. 7. All athletes are required to have a valid sports physical prior to practice or competition. One sports physical is all that is necessary unless the health or physical condition of the athlete changes; a new physical or doctor’s release is then necessary before the athlete may practice or compete. Forms are available at the middle school office. 8. Be covered by health insurance; if needed, student accident insurance is available from the school. 9. All activity fees must be paid or arrangements made for assistance before athlete may participate. 10. If students receive a citation they will miss the next contest. 11. If students receive a referral they will miss a minimum of the next contest with the athletic director and coaches input on any further suspensions.
