Withdrawal from School
A student under the age of 18 withdrawing from school must be accompanied by a parent/guardian. We ask
that the family meet with a school administrator prior to withdrawing. Parents/guardians must give the
registrar one business day to complete all necessary withdrawal paperwork. Students who are 18 years of age
or older must wait two school days before withdrawing from school. Upon completion of the withdrawal
sheet, all fees and fines must be paid, and all school-owned materials must be returned in appropriate
condition. YES Prep Public Schools reserves the right to hold appropriate student records until all fees and
fines have been paid and all materials have been returned. Any student who withdraws from YES Prep Public
Schools solely in order to attend another school district and wishes to return to YES Prep Public Schools will be
required to apply for re-entry through the lottery system as appropriate. Additionally, any expelled student
will not have the benefit of a sibling preference in the lottery system.
Student Change of Address
Parents/guardians must give the registrar written notification of a student’s change of address or phone
number within seven days of the change so that the school can provide timely information to the family.
Extra-curricular Activities and Competitions
The school administrator will ensure that the eligibility requirements outlined in this section will be applied
consistently to all clubs, classes, sports, and student organizations for which students are required to study,
practice, perform, or compete outside the usual school day. Students who are failing one or more classes at
an eligibility check point will remain ineligible until the next eligibility check. The eligibility checks will occur
according to the state-approved guidelines. Generally, these occur during the third and sixth weeks of a sixweek
grading cycle.
As it is a privilege to represent YES Prep in any performance or competition, the school reserves the right to
revoke the privilege when student athletes/performers do not meet the standards set forth in this agreement.
This responsibility not only exists while the athletes/performers are involved in their chosen activity, but also
shall be required of them while at school and competitions. All students are invited and encouraged to take
part in athletic and performance programs. Program participants should be prepared to follow all rules and
regulations as determined by the athletic and performance staff, administrators and Board of Trustees. Those
not willing to comply with rules and regulations will not be permitted to participate in the program.
Excellent physical and mental preparation is essential for a successful athletic/performance program. A
student athlete must be ready for the physical and mental rigors of the contest. This is done through
participation in practice sessions planned by each coach/sponsor and by the observance of certain training
rules and regulations.
A student athlete/performer is expected to be a positive contributor to YES Prep Public Schools. Every
student-athlete/performer is expected to:
Display dedication to hard work in practice.
Display sportsmanship in defeat, as well as in victory.
Display a respect for authority.
Display a spirit of cooperation.
Display a high standard of social behavior.
