Handbook Information

• The handbook is now online for you to view
• Here are a couple of items of importance

25
Philosophy

• We believe that student participation in any part
  of our activities is a privilege which carries
  with it responsibilities to the school, to the
  activity, to the student body, to the community
  and to the student himself/herself. This
  participation privilege represents a year round
  commitment and will help to develop the student
  physically, mentally, socially and emotionally.

26
Basic Policies

• A student who has gone out for a sport but quits
  of his own accord, will not be eligible to start
  practicing for another sport before the end of
  the competition in the sport that was dropped
  unless the head coach (of the sport that was
  dropped) signs a release card and the head coach
  of the new sport involved accepts the athlete.
  EVERY ATHLETE SHOULD UNDERSTAND THIS POLICY. Any
  activity performance group member who quits
  cheer, dance, or flags before the season is
  completed could be ineligible for tryouts for
  another activity group for a period up to 365
  days.

27
Basic Policies

• Students must be in attendance a minimum of the
  last four class periods of the day to participate
  in any activity scheduled for the day. Exceptions
  are granted with administrative approval only. If
  students come to school and leave during the day
  for health reasons, they may not return or
  participate that day in activities without
  administrative approval. Each individual
  coach/sponsor has the authority to set more
  restrictive attendance requirements.

28
Hazing

• Hazing is defined as, including, but not
  necessarily limited to, any action or situation
  created, whether on or off school premises, which
  might reasonably be expected to result in mental
  or physical discomfort, embarrassment, harassment
  or ridicule. This definition includes the
  following activities
• Paddling, Creation of excessive fatigue, Physical
  and psychological shocks, Quests, treasure hunts,
  scavenger hunts, road trips, or related
  activities, Requiring or encouraging the wearing
  of apparel in public that is conspicuous and
  normally not considered in good taste,
  Disciplinary consequences will occur to anyone or
  any team found to be guilty of hazing. According
  to Missouri state statutes consent to hazing is
  not a defense.

29
Chemical Abuse

• Regardless of quantity, a student shall not use
  or possess tobacco have in possession or use a
  beverage containing alcohol use or consume, have
  in possession, buy, sell or give away illegal
  drugs or chemicals, or any substance defined by
  law as a drug specifically prescribed for the
  students own use by his/her doctor or use or be
  in possession of drug paraphernalia.

30
Chemical Abuse Consequences

• First Violation Penalty Following confirmation
  of the violation, the student would lose
  eligibility to participate in the next
  match/contest(s) that occur in a consecutive
  chronological sequence. The student/athlete shall
  be ineligible for interscholastic competition and
  may not participate for a minimum of 40 of
  his/her competitive season.
• Second Violation Penalty The student shall be
  ineligible for 365 days, beginning with the date
  of the violation.

  with a nonschool team or in any organized
