Participation in Athletics Criteria

Keeping with the belief that participation in athletic activities is a privilege and not a right. Certain standards of eligibility have been established. Reed Middle School is aware of the important role that athletics play in the development of students, but Reed Middle School maintains commitment to the philosophy that the primary purpose of our secondary schools should be to academically prepare students for high school while becoming productive members of society. Scholastic incentives should be established and enforced for the educational and personal welfare of the students who participate. Therefore, student’s will be ineligible for athletics at Reed Middle School based on the following criteria:

3 total failures in classes in a quarter
2 or more out of school suspensions in a given quarter
3 or more full days in school suspensions or equivalent to 27 total periods in ISS in a given season.
Act or acts that warrant ineligibility to the privilege of athletic participation
Attendance 5 days out - unexcused absences
Lateness 5 days out - unexcused lateness
If a student is in ISS on a given day, they will be excluded from a game or practice for that given day
