High School Student Handbook - South Milwaukee School District

e. Failure to use school transportation for away events unless excused by the
parent, a Principal, Activities, Athletics and Recreation Coordinator, or
coach/advisor through a parental permission slip.
B. Sanctions for severe misconduct will result in penalties that mirror those of
alcohol/drug violations. Examples of severe misconduct include, but are not
limited to:
a. Conduct that endangers the health or safety of others.
b. Behavior in or out of school that could constitute the commission of a crime
or result in a citation.
c. Regardless of the findings of civil authorities, if school officials find
reasonable evidence that a student committed an act that constitutes a
Code violation, penalties will be enforced.
d. A suspension from school automatically invokes an athletic/activity
suspension. An athletic/activity suspension will not automatically invoke a
school suspension. That will be determined on a case-by-case basis jointly
by the administration.
V. Uniforms & Equipment
A. Any students who are issued uniforms and/or school equipment by their
coaches for the purpose of competing for South Milwaukee High School (or
Middle School will be required to return all uniforms and/or equipment in
good condition. Should any of these items not be returned, the replacement
cost of these items will be placed on the obligation list. The cost will be that
of a new item regardless of the age of the uniform or equipment.
Category I Activities are those activities in which the school has a schedule of
interscholastic contests or school-sponsored performances or competition. If a student
has been suspended from an activity/athletic team, the student is required to attend all
practices, games and activities upon completion of any suspension from school. These
activities are:
ATHLETIC ACTIVITIES
Baseball (20) Golf (14) Tennis (14)
Football (9) Swimming (14) Winter Pom Pons (20)
Softball (20) Wrestling (14) Cross Country (11)
Volleyball (15) Fall Cheer (9) Soccer (24)
Basketball (20) Fall Pom Pons (9) Track (20)
Winter Cheer (20) Powerlifting (6)
Athletes will be subject to this code twelve (12) months a year, 7 days a week, 24 hours a
day, on or off-campus from the first day the student becomes involved in school-sponsored
activities at South Milwaukee High School until they have graduated and completed all
school-sponsored activities. The numbers listed above in parentheses are the maximum
number of contests allowed per regular season by the WIAA. The actual number of games
from which the suspension percentages are drawn will be based on the actual number of
games scheduled for that season. The fractional suspensions (one-third or one-sixth) will be
of the total number of events or contests as of the first date of competition. Suspensions will
carry over into the following season, and each post-season competition event will count as an
event for that suspension.
