Behavioral Expectations:

a. Students should always exhibit positive and appropriate behavior at school. Non-scholarly behavior in school will be reported and consequences are as follows:

i. Administrators will notify the Athletic Director of all student consequences. Students’ eligibility for game participation is based on how many consequences were given in the previous week.

ii. If a Student-Athlete receives a Referral Consequence, their coach will be notified and this will be their first warning. They will be allowed one more Referral for the week before being ineligible for competition in the next week.

iii. If a Student-Athlete receives a Referral three times in one week (Mon-Fri), or receives a Detention, the Student-Athlete will be on Athletic Probation in which they are not eligible to participate in games in the following week.

iv. If a Student-Athlete receives a Suspension, they will be ineligible from competition and not allowed to further attend practices, games or represent the SCL Sports Team in any way.

**PLEASE NOTE: Unless otherwise indicated, if a student is suspended from participating in a game, they are expected to still be present at each practice and/or game. If the student chooses to not attend that practice and/or game, that will count toward an unexcused absence. ​
