| ATHLETICS
AND ACTIVITIES
ACS belongs to the Eastern Mediterranean Activities Conference for both
athletics and fine arts competition. In order for students to participate
in extracurricular activities, they must maintain their academic eligibility
(see academic eligibility policy). All athletic permission and medical
forms must be on file with the Athletic/Activities Director before a student
will be allowed to try out for an activity. See the Student/Parent
Athletic/Activity Guide for more Information regarding participation
in either varsity or junior varsity activities.
MEDICAL FORMS - A physical examination
is required for all students trying out for all interscholastic sports.
One examination covers one school year. Without this exam a student may
not be a member of any sports team. The medical forms for athletics and
the out-of-country travel forms (with accompanying photos) must be completed
before participation in tryouts.
ATHLETIC/FINE ARTS ACTIVITY ELIGIBILITY -
Students must have a 2.0 GPA with no "F' (failure) for the quarter preceding
the activity. The OPA for the 4th quarter of the school will determine
eligibility for the Fall quarter of the next year. In addition students
must have a passing grade In all courses currently taken during the quarter.
GOOD CONDUCT POLICY - All ACS students
involved in the school's athletic and EMAC fine arts programs must adhere
to the following rules:
-
No smoking or use of tobacco products.
-
No consumption of alcohol.
-
No use of non-prescribed drugs of any type.
-
Students must adhere to all school rules and regulations.
The penalty for not adhering to the rules will be immediate dismissal from
the activity the student is involved with at the time the student violates
the rule(s). A second violation by the same student will result in the
student being ineligible for participation in extracurricular athletic
and EMAC fine arts activities while attending ACS. Students who become
academically ineligible during the time that they are participating in
an athletic or EMAC fine arts activity will be dismissed from the activity
at the time they become ineligible.
TRAVEL - Students will be allowed
to miss school due to extracurricular school sponsored activities travel
three times only during one school year. Students experiencing academic
difficulties may forfeit their opportunity to travel after referral to
the Principal. (SEE STUDENT/PARENT ATHLETIC GUIDE) |
