Note: In order to participate in any after school activity, theater, sports, concerts, etc., a student must attend class for at least one-half of the school day. (Exceptions: Medical/dental appointments, certain emergency absences when approved by either the Principal or Assistant Principal.)
All fines must be paid.
ALL students are encouraged to become actively involved in one or more of the sports that are offered. All students who turn out for a sport are given the opportunity to play at some level.
Practices are held immediately after school Mondays through Thursdays – no Friday practices. Students must be picked up on time.
An activity bus (with limited stops) is provided Monday through Thursday for students wishing to participate in supervised after-school activities. Students must have an Activity Bus Ticket. Tickets are available from supervising teachers and coaches. Activity buses leave PCMS at 4:15 pm on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday and 5:15 pm on Wednesday.
ACADEMIC PROBATION
In order to maintain athletic eligibility during the current trimester, a student shall maintain passing grades in all classes. Grades will be checked 10 days into the beginning of the sport season.
If a student-athlete receives any failing grades, regardless of the grade point average, that student-athlete is placed on academic probation for 10 calendar days. The student-athlete is allowed to continue to attend and participate in practices only. He/she may not participate in athletic contests during this time. Grades will be checked again at the end of the 10-day probation period.
Academic checks and discipline reviews will be conducted by the Head Coach, and the student-athlete eligibility will be determined by these checks. If a student continues to fail and/or receive discipline referrals, he/she will not be allowed to participate in athletic competition for the remainder of the season.
The above also applies to participation in PCMS clubs, Theater Productions and the role of Team Manager(s).
