EATONVILLE SCHOOL DISTRICT ACTIVITY AND ATHLETIC CODE  

This code of behavior for Eatonville School District students involved in

activities and athletics is designed to:

(1) promote good citizenship and sportsmanship;

(2) promote self-discipline by setting high expectations

for student behavior; and

(3) establish procedures by which decisions are made

regarding eligibility for participation in activities and

athletics. It is based on Eatonville School District Board Policy and the athletic

code of the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association (WIAA).

This agreement begins for all student athletes and parents on the date

of first scheduled practice for that sport or activity and terminates on the

date the student is released by the coach at the completion of the

season.

The code consists of four parts:  A) General Requirements; B) Academic

Requirements; C) Substance Abuse Procedures; and D) Parent/Student

Code of Conduct.

 

A. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

 

In order to participate in an activity or a sport in which he or she

represents the Eatonville School District either in a performance or in a

competition, a student must:

 

1. be present a minimum of three (3) periods on the day

of an activity or athletic event in which he/she is

scheduled to take part or he/she will not be allowed to

participate in the event.  Exceptions will be made for

verified doctor or dental appointments or other cases

prearranged through the building principal or his/her

designee;

2. have met all requirements for rehearsal or practice as

set forth by the activity advisor or coach;  

3. prior to the first turn out, have purchased an

Eatonville School ASB card of the current school year

(except in performances or competitions that do not

receive ASB funding such as FFA, FHA, etc. where

dues are paid to a state or national organization and

funding is through the dues paid and fund raising

done);  

4. (high school only) have paid the athletic user fee of

$30.00 per sport with a student maximum per year of

$60.00 and a family maximum per year of $180.00;

5. prior to the first turn out, have on file proper parent

permission forms, physical forms, proof of medical

insurance, etc. as called for by the advisor/coach of

the activity/sport and/or athletic director;

6. be personally responsible for any school equipment or

materials issued to them.  Failure to return such items

will result in the student being assessed a fine to be

paid in the amount of the cost to replace the

unreturned or damaged equipment or materials and

associated costs.

B. ACADEMIC REQUIREMENTS

 

 High School

 1. In order to participate in an activity or a sport in which he or

she represents Eatonville High School either in a performance

or in a competition, a student must have passed all classes or

the equivalent in the semester prior to his or her participation in

the activity or sport or be passing all classes at each grade

check. Students must be enrolled in at least four EHS

courses, or the equivalent Running Start courses,

continuously throughout the school year. All students are

subject to grade checks every four and a half weeks.

2. High School eligibility will be checked at the beginning of each

season and at every regular reporting (semester, quarter,

midterm) of student grades.  Students who fail to meet the

Eatonville School District grade requirement will be placed on

probationary eligibility for two (2) weeks.  If a student’s grades

have not improved after two (2) weeks, the student will be

declared ineligible to participate in interscholastic contests.  A

student may be placed on probationary eligibility only once per

season. The second time a student fails to meet the grade

requirement in a season will result in the student being

declared ineligible. The ineligible student will retain this status

until they meet the grade requirement. The student must

initiate a grade check on the first day of the week to become

eligible again. Ineligible students may still practice but cannot

travel with the team if classes will be missed. Each head coach

will determine how long an ineligible athlete may remain on the

team.
