Athletics & Activities

Purpose of Middle School Athletics, Clubs, and Activities:  Middle school athletics, clubs, and activities are an important extension of the classroom. Our goal is to provide students with meaningful opportunities to grow physically, mentally, socially, and emotionally while representing their school with pride.

• Promote physical and mental health
• Build teamwork and social development
• Teach life skills and responsibility
• Develop sportsmanship and school pride

Athletics, clubs, and activities are a privilege and an opportunity. We expect our students to represent their school with integrity in the classroom, in competitions, in performances, in meetings, and in the community.

Behavior & Conduct Expectations: Athletics, clubs, and activities are a privilege. Students who demonstrate unsafe, disrespectful, or disruptive behavior may face consequences that impact participation.

Middle school athletics, clubs, and activities are about effort, accountability, growth, teamwork, and character. Let’s build champions in the classroom, on the track, on the court, on the field, in performances, and in life.

• Respect for teammates, peers, coaches, sponsors, officials, and staff
• Positive sportsmanship and collaboration
• Safe and responsible behavior at school and events
• Adherence to the D60 Student Conduct & Discipline Code
• Attendance at school the full day on event days (unless pre-approved by administration)

Eligibility Expectations:  Athletics, clubs, activities, and academics go hand in hand. Students must maintain passing grades (A, B, C, or D) in all classes to participate.

• Grade checks are conducted on Mondays
• Students with failing grades are placed on probation for one week
• If failing grades continue for a second week, the student becomes academically ineligible
• Ineligible students may attend practices, rehearsals, or meetings but may not participate in competitions, performances, or events
• Eligibility status changes only on Mondays
