"The high school adopted a new policy in regards to attendance last spring for this school year. The change is that students must now be in attendance the entire day for them to be eligible to participate in practice or a game that day. The same excused absences apply- funeral, wedding, college visit, doctor visit. This change is prompted by our change in schedule- missing a class (particularly an 80 minute) on a given day can mean almost half of the instructional time for that week is missed. The old policy stated they had to be in attendance the last four hours of the day.
Jack Buter, as ever, will work to keep us apprised of athletes who may be in violation so we can address it.
Thanks for your support of the academic rigor of the HS."
