7th and 8th graders participate in league Volleyball and Basketball. Grades 3-8 may participate in the Track program.
The following requirements must be met in order to participate in the sports program:
1. Academic: Students must maintain at least a “C" average and no “F"s in each core subject area.
2. Social: Behavior must meet St. Louis de Montfort standards. A behavior or academic referral can result in suspension from the current sport.
Progress reports will be sent home midway into the quarter. If a student is earning below a “C“ average in a core subject, he or she will enter a probationary period for two weeks. If there is sufficient evidence (e.g. tutoring, extra credit, improved grades) that the student is trying to improve grades, he or she will be allowed to remain on the team. If a student does not show evidence of trying to improve grades, the principal will inform the student and parents of his or her removal from the team. Teachers continually monitor academic and social behavior to be certain the students maintain the requirements. Practices are held after school. Game and practice schedules are sent home each season. Team players must be picked up at the end of practice and immediately after the end of each game. If students are left after practice, the coach send them to Extended Care. It is unfair for parents to expect coaches to be responsible for watching students until parents arrive. Teams are under direct supervision of the coaches. Boys and girls from other grades or siblings are not allowed at practices or games unless accompanied by an adult because of the need for supervision. The school or coaches are not liable for students after school that are not in the sports program.
School insurance covers participation in school sponsored athletic events and practices. Parent permission forms and payment must be on file in the office before any student can participate in the sports program. If there is a cheerleading squad, it is for students in grades six, seven and eight. Cheerleaders are expected to purchase their own uniforms and adhere to the sports eligibility requirements.
Sport Games and Tournaments
Parents and athletes are expected to model a respectful and supportive attitude toward coaches and referees. Any demeaning comments made to a coach or referee results in a parent or athlete being dismissed from the game.
Students attending games must have a parent or guardian present and responsible for them.
