High school sports registration

The school board voted in 2006 to revise the athletic code so sanctions for student athletes discovered in possession of or under the influence of drugs or alcohol focus more on treatment, with increased penalties for repeat offenders.

Each student-athlete is required to attend one drug/alcohol symposium per year prior to the beginning of the sports season in which s/he is participating. Student-athletes may attend any one of the sessions offered.

The drug/alcohol symposiums for the 2007 fall sports season are listed below:

• Monday, August 27, 7-8 p.m., Issaquah High School
• Tuesday, August 28, 7-8 p.m., Liberty High School
• Wednesday, August 29, 7-8 p.m., Skyline High School

All student athletes must complete an eligibility process at the school athletic office EACH SEASON for EACH SPORT in which they wish to participate.

All forms in the SPORTS ELIGIBILITY PACKETS must be properly filled out and filed with the athletic secretary before a student can be cleared to participate in a sport. Originals of all eligibility forms are required. We cannot accept photocopies of eligibility forms.

A clearance card will be issued only when all requirements have been met. NO ATHLETE is allowed to participate in practice until the coach has the clearance card.

• Academic eligibility
• Initial academic eligibility is based upon the grades and GPA from the previous semester (previous quarter for winter sports).
• The athletic secretary will check grades and GPA.

• Sports Physicals
• Sport physicals MUST be current for the entire season.
• Students will not be cleared to turn out with a physical that expires during the regular season or playoffs. The ISD requires an annual physical. Every-other-year updates are no longer accepted.
