    Student Participation in the Co-Curricular Program

     

    The Board of Education recognizes that a complete co-curricular program based upon student interest assists in the total education of students.  While emphasis is given to the intellectual growth, diversified opportunities must be provided for students who wish to participate in the co-curricular program.  All such programs must contribute to the goals of general education to justify their existence in the curriculum.

    1.     Participation in a co-curricular sport/activity is a privilege, not a right.

    2.     All participants will be subject to the rules and regulations of the respective sport/activity including the Co-Curricular Alcohol Tobacco and Other Drugs (A-T-O-D) Policy.

    3.     Participants will be advised in writing of all regulations by their respective advisors or coaches prior to their participation in order for each student to determine the feasibility of such participation.

    4.     Violation of rules and regulations may result in loss of privilege to participate or other disciplinary action.

     

    Academic Eligibility

    High School students (grades 9-12) must be currently enrolled in a member school and have received passing grades in a minimum of five (5) one credit courses, or the equivalent, in the immediately preceding grading period (quarter).  Worthington Schools District’s academic eligibility policies contain an additional Semester requirement.  Athletes must pass 2.5 credits the previous semester to be eligible to participate in Co-Curricular activities.
