2. Students must maintain an unweighted GPA of 2.0 (on a 4.0 scale) in enrolled courses at the conclusion of the previous grading period. Students with less than a 2.0 GPA may be placed on academic probation until the next grading period. (BP 6145, CIF 205 b.(2)) This is a one-time per year probationary status that can only be used for one grading period, within one semester and meets the criteria listed below.  Students may be required to provide a periodic grade check when requested by the coach or athletic director.

Fees for transportation for athletics/activities are $150 for each sport per player using the buses, and $75 for each sport per player using the vans at the high school.

Fees will be applied to students accounts and can be paid at the student store.

• At the coach/advisor’s discretion, students may be signed off the return bus by the parent/guardian.  If the student will be riding home with another adult, the Student Alternate Transportation Form must be on file indicating the appropriate drivers and the ACTIVITY TRANSPORTATION Sign-In/Sign-Out Sheet must be initialed by the appropriate driver. 

Parent/Guardian drives their student to and from the event:

For all District-sponsored events, self-transportation or transportation provided by parents/guardians (or other adults authorized in writing by a parent or guardian) is permitted only when the driver of the vehicle has filed required transportation forms with the school office. Coaches/Supervisors are prohibited from releasing a student to self-transport or obtaining transportation from a non-parent, or guardian. No student may ride in a vehicle driven by another student, whether or not an adult is present in the vehicle. Students transported in an alternate manner fully assume the risk of harm of such transportation; the District assumes no liability or obligation associated with such methods of travel.

NOTE: On rare occasions when a bus is not available for an off-campus game/event, a coach/advisor may make arrangements for parent/guardian drivers. Parent/guardian drivers must be a cleared Category 2 Volunteer and have a Volunteer Personal Auto Use Form on file.  See the Volunteer Category 2 Requirements on the school’s website or contact the school office for more information.

Personal items are the responsibility of the students.  Personal electronic devices may be allowed at the coach/advisor’s discretion and at the student athlete’s risk.

1. Game Day: Non-attendance for any part of the school day may result in no participation in an event or athletic contest unless prior approval has been received from site Assistant Principal in charge of Athletics.

2. Practice: Students not attending school may not participate in practice without prior approval from the site Assistant Principal in charge of Athletics.
