A student who misses any portion of a school day may not participate in any co-curricular activity (practice, performance, games, scrimmage, etc.) on that day, unless the absence has been approved, in advance, through the Office of Student Life.
If a student is absent on a Friday or part of a Friday, the absence carries over to any weekend event.

7. Coaches’ Policy: Attendance
Players are expected to attend all practices and games
Unexcused absences will result in the player being ineligible to play for the first half of the next game.
Unexcused absences include, but are not limited to: tardy arrival at school the day of or prior to a game, missing or late to game/practice, detention during practice, etc.

8. Academic Eligibility
In order for students to be eligible to participate in co-curricular activities, they must maintain a current grade point average of 2.0 and must pass all their classes. This is not a cumulative grade point average; it is the grade point average for the current grading period. The 2.0 grade point average can only be determined using semester grades. Students must be passing each of their classes at the end of 1st quarter and 3rd quarter. Students must be passing all their classes and have a minimum of a 2.0 grade point average at the end of 1st semester and 2nd semester.
A student may become ineligible on the basis of quarter or semester grades. The student is automatically ineligible for a period of three weeks. After three weeks, a student will regain their eligibility if he meets the appropriate criteria. Those who do not bring their grades up remain ineligible until the next grading period. In order to restore eligibility at the end of the three week period, a student must turn in a progress report signed by each of his teachers to the athletic office on the day that is listed as the end of the three week period.

9. Chemical Use Policy
The use or possession of tobacco, alcohol or any drug or controlled substance not prescribed for the student by a doctor, or the possession of anything that may be defined or construed as drug paraphernalia is not permitted. No student is to be present in a bar, tavern, restaurant or residence where alcohol is served unless accompanied by his parents or guardians. Students are expected to immediately leave any situation where alcohol or other controlled substances are present.
Out of Season Incident:
Suspension from participation in interscholastic contests for three weeks or three contests, whichever is longer. This consequences applies to violation during the school year when the student is not participating in a school-sanctioned activity or to violations that occur during the summer months. Chemical violations occurring when a student is not in season will automatically carry over to the student’s next season. Therefore, the three-contest rule will be in effect for the non-season athlete.
In season Incident:
Any violation during the lacrosse season will result in IMMEDIATE REMOVAL from the team
