STUDENT
ACTIVITY GUIDELINES; STATEMENT OF PHILOSOPHY
Students are encouraged
to become involved in extra-curricular activities. Student
participation in such activities, including interscholastic
athletics, is provided as an opportunity for students as long
as they agree to follow the rules and guidelines as outlined
in the student handbook. Inasmuch as participation is a PRIVILEGE
(not a right), students who violate the guidelines will be
subject to the penalties outlined, up to and including suspension
from participation in such activities.
These rules will apply to all students and their involvement
in all extra-curricular activities at Bedford Senior High School
and Bedford Junior High School.
A
student should realize that the extra-curricular student
activities guidelines apply at all times throughout the student’s
high school career, including off-season and all vacation periods.
The guidelines are not limited to the time period in which
the student participates in a particular activity, nor are
the guidelines limited to student behavior at school-sponsored
activities or on school property. A student who violates the
guidelines will be subject to disciplinary action as outlined
in the penalty provisions. In addition, a student participant
and his/her parent or guardian must sign and return to the
designated school official a form which acknowledges the student
and his/her parent or guardian understands and agrees to abide
by the guidelines. All
penalties for violation of this Code of Conduct shall be
cumulative beginning with the student’s participation
in his/her freshman year.
BEDFORD
SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL EXTRA CURRICLUAR ELIGIBILITY POLICY (2010 - 2011)
Eligibility requirements are designed to help students better prepare for the world after high school. The objective is not to turn students away from co-curricular activities, but to reinforce that academic achievement is maintained during their activity.
Athletics and Marching Band
Previous Academic Credit Record
Students trying out for athletics or marching band, must (prior to trying out) meet the MHSAA “Previous Academic Credit Record” requirement, which is receiving credit in four (4) out of five (5) classes on their last grade card. Failing to meet this requirement will mean a student will not be eligible to try out for athletics or marching band that season. This is waived for freshmen for the FIRST TERM ONLY, because they will not have officially received any high school grades until the end of the first term.
Current Academic Credit Record
Athletes and marching band will have their grades checked at the 6 week interval of the term. If a student is not passing four (4) out of five (5) classes he/she will be ineligible for one week (Monday through Sunday). After one week another grade check will be made for that student. The student will remain ineligible until the weekly check(s) shows that he/she meets the MHSAA requirement of passing four (4) out of five (5) classes. Ineligible students must also attend the tutoring center and meet all of the requirements (see below). Random grade checks will also be done on eligible students to ensure that they have maintained the required grades. Ineligible students are allowed to practice, providing they have fulfilled the tutoring center requirements, but they are not permitted to compete.
Additionally, students who meet the MHSAA “Current Academic Credit Record” requirement listed above will be required to attend the tutoring center if they fall into one of the below categories:
1. Students whose overall grade average is below a 70%.
2. Students who are failing a core class or a class needed for graduation.
These students will be required to attend the tutoring center three times per week until they maintain the 70% average or maintain a passing grade in the core class (or a class needed for graduation) for three consecutive weeks. These students will have all playing privileges as long as they successfully attend tutoring. Be advised, that if during the weekly check for improved grades shows that the student has fallen below the MHSAA “Current Academic Credit Record” requirement listed above, he/she will at that time become ineligible for at least one week, or until the state’s requirement is met. Random checks will also be done on all eligible students to ensure that they have maintained the required grades.
Students who must attend tutoring must meet the requirements for the tutoring center which are:
1. Students must attend tutoring three times a week until they meet the MHSAA requirement
of passing four (4) out of five (5) classes, or until their season/activity is over.
2. Students must bring and do their school work when in the tutoring center or they will not
receive credit for attending that day.
3. Students must not be missing homework or project assignments on the weekly checks.
Studies have shown that students involved in co-curricular activities do better academically. This policy will allow all students to be successful in all areas.
