Students in grades 4-8 may be involved in after school competitive sports as well as privately sponsored tournaments during the school year. To participate, a student must have C or better in Conduct and Effort and at least a C in each academic subject; if these criteria are not met, a student must have permission from the principal. All qualified students may try out for membership on sports teams. The school is committed to providing everyone a fair chance to participate. Unfortunately, not everyone who tries out can be accepted. The decision of the coach, in conjunction with the athletic director or the decision of the moderator, in consultation with the principal, is final. Ordinarily, the principal will not intervene in non-selection decisions, unless the decision is arbitrary and capricious. Parents are encouraged to help their children understand that not everyone will be selected.
