CO-CURRICULAR GUIDELINES AND PROCEDURES The participation in co-curricular activities is a privilege which seeks to enrich a student’s life and develop school spirit. If selected as a representative of our school programs, students are expected to exemplify good school citizenship by their conduct in and out of school. Other responsibilities will include good academic standing, training rules and other procedures as outlined below. Any individual wishing to introduce a new co-curricular activity is encouraged to meet with the Director of Student Activities and obtain an application. YEAR LONG ACTIVITIES: Art Club, Chess Club, Climbing Club, Computer Games Club, Debate Club, Gay/Straight Alliance Group, Men’s Chorus, Mountain Biking Club, National Honor Society, Outdoor Adventure Club, OVX (Our Voices Exposed), Photography Club, Rugby, Scholars’ Bowl, Select Chorus, Self Defense, Stage Band, String Ensemble, Student Council, Upward Bound, Web Page Club, Women’s Madrigals and Yearbook. FALL SPORTS: Cross country running, field hockey, football, and soccer. WINTER SPORTS: Alpine skiing, basketball, dance team, ice hockey, indoor track, Nordic skiing, and wrestling. SPRING SPORTS: Baseball, golf, lacrosse, softball, tennis and track. NOTE: SOME SPORTS OFFER FRESHMEN, JUNIOR VARSITY AND VARSITY LEVELS TO MAXIMIZE PARTICIPATION. CREDIT FOR PARTICIPATION IN SPORTS Students are required to complete the ninth grade health and physical education curriculum (one year) and will earn ½ credit for physical education, and ½ credit for health. Student will receive ¼ credit for each sport season in which they participate. Students can earn up to ½ credit per sport toward graduation. Therefore, a student who participates in three sports during their four years at MMU can earn 1 ½ physical education credits, applied to graduation. The implication of this is that students can earn the remainder of their physical education credit after the required ninth grade curriculum through MMU sports, but they must participate in at least two different sports. 42
ELIGIBILITY REGULATIONS 1. A student must be taking a minimum of five academic credits (courses) or a course of study approved by the Administration. 2. Eligibility is determined from your quarter grades, i.e.; second quarter grades determine third quarter participation, fourth quarter grades determine first quarter in the following year. 3. Students with a quarter average (GPA) that is less than 1.67 or who have two “F’s” are ineligible and are placed on academic probation for the next marking period. Incompletes (“I”) and “WF’s” are treated as “F’s” until they are determined to be otherwise. 4. Students who are on academic probation are allowed to try out and/or practice/rehearse, but are not allowed to participate in any formal activity, competition or scrimmage. While on probation, they may not dress (in uniform) or travel with a sports team. A student’s eligibility will be reevaluated at Progress Reports. If, at Progress Reports, their GPA is 1.67 or higher, they are restored to full eligibility. 5. It is the student’s responsibility to make sure teachers provide letter grades for Progress Reports so that a GPA can be calculated. If, at Progress Reports, their GPA is less than 1.67, they remain on academic probation and will be dropped immediately from the activity in which they are participating. Students who are on academic probation and who are participating in an activity (or are trying out) must attend all classes. Class cuts and/or other behavior issues will result in a student being dropped from that activity. 6. A student cannot have an outstanding fee owed to the school. 7. A student must attend all academic classes and assigned study halls to be eligible to participate in the activity that day. Any exception such as a doctor’s appointment must be approved by the Director of Student Activities or another administrator prior to participation. 8. No student shall be excused from a detention even though it conflicts with the activity. PARTICIPANT RESPONSIBILITIES 1. Academic performance is your primary responsibility. 2. There are times during the season when it is necessary for students to leave for competitions/activities for the school day. It is each participant’s responsibility to make proper arrangements with the instructor to make up work prior to the absence. 3. Training rules established by your coach or advisor must be observed. 4. Employment should not interfere with academics or extracurricular activity. 5. Equipment and uniforms issued to the participant must be returned in the same condition at the end of the activity. Equipment that is lost, damaged or stolen is the responsibility of the participant. 6. Any injury should be reported to the coach/advisor no matter how slight the injury may appear. 43
