I'm afraid I was not very clear with my explanation of the attendance rule- the 5-Period rule at Tuesday night's presentation. Hopefully this can clear it up.
Student athletes must be in school in order to participate in athletics in the afternoon/evening. In order to be considered "in school," a student must be in school for AT LEAST the final 5 periods of the day. If a student athlete leaves school during the day due to an illness or other reason, he/she is NOT eligible to participate that day. HOWEVER, if a student has a scheduled doctor/dentist appointment that requires the student be dismissed for a portion of the school day, that will be considered excused and the student WILL be eligible to participate that day.
Remember- always bring a not from the doctor/dentist when returning to school.
