ELIGIBILITY FOR ATHLETICS
All
middle school students who are participating in any extra-curricular activity
should maintain acceptable academic progress, C- average or better.
Such activities may include, but are not limited to, athletic events,
Student Council, Builders’ Club, Readers’ Theater, band and choir
performances, and the talent show. Academic
progress will be checked a minimum of every four and one-half weeks. There may
be cases when a student who is not working up to his or her ability may be
declared ineligible until satisfactory improvement has been made.
The principal, teachers, and coach or sponsor will monitor the academic
status of all students participating in an activity.
PHYSICAL
EXAMINATION
The
Iowa State Athletic Associations require annual physical examinations (by a
licensed physician) for all students participating in athletics.
Physical exam forms may be picked up in the office or from the student's
coach. Each athlete's completed
examination form will be kept on file by the athletic director.
ATHLETIC
INSURANCE
Parents
are responsible for personal health and accident insurance coverage for their
child if he/she participates in athletics.
The Glenwood School District DOES NOT provide any type of medical
insurance coverage for students who are injured while on school property or
while participating in school sponsored athletics/events.
The Glenwood Community School District's only role in making insurance
available is to distribute application forms for supplemental insurance provided
by Mutual of Omaha. (Please refer to page 6 of this handbook, "Student
Insurance.")
