WAYLAND-COHOCTON CENTRAL SCHOOL 7410 Regulations

Extracurricular Activities

SUBJECT: GRADES 5-12 EXTRA-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES ELIGIBILITY POLICY

Scope: These rules of eligibility have been established for the benefit of our extra-curricular participants. If our school is to excel in extra-curricular activities and competitions, we must first discipline our conduct and behavior as individuals; then as a team; and then as a school. This policy is in effect in and out of a sport/activity season. If you are not currently participating in an extra-curricular activity and violate this policy, the penalty will be imposed on the date that determination is made and may effect future participation.

Determination of Consequences

The Athletic Director/Dean of Students will make a decision on the penalty. The district reserves the right to determine any appropriate penalty based on the severity, nature and circumstances of a violation including other violations by that particular student. Based upon the individual circumstances, the Athletic Director and Dean of Students will give consideration to those students cooperating in the investigation.

Notification of Penalty

The student and the parent will be notified by either the Athletic Director or Dean of Students within a reasonable amount of time of the determination of the suspension or dismissal, and also inform them of their appeal procedure if desired.

If an interpretation or a ruling is required, the line of responsibility is the Athletic Director/Dean of Students, then the Principal, and finally the Superintendent of Schools. The Athletic Director will handle all issues concerning athletes and the Dean of Students will handle issues concerning all other extra-curricular activities. All suspensions and dismissals will begin the day they are issued and run for the designated amount of time. It is important to read this policy. Your child may be suspended from all extra-curricular activities for up to forty (40) school weeks. Violations and all subsequent penalties will carry over from school year to school year.

Extra-curricular activities are defined as the participation in all non-credit bearing activities during the school day or after the school day including practices and competitions.

GENERAL RULES

1. Attendance: Students are required to attend all classes during the school day in order to participate in extra-curricular activities after school. The exception is made for a bona fide appointment such as dentist, doctor, court, or college visitation accompanied by an appropriate excuse, which must be provided to the attendance clerk immediately upon arrival at school.

a) Absences: If a student is illegally absent, truant, suspended in or out of school, or excused from any part of the school day due to illness, (s)he may not participate in any extra-curricular activity that day.

b) Tardy: A student, who is late to school, is considered tardy. (S)He will sign in at the attendance office. If tardiness has been an ongoing issue (defined as three or more unexcused tardies during a sports/activities season), the student will not be allowed to participate in that day’s activity. A student must be in school by 9:30 a.m. in order to practice or participate in that day’s event, unless they have a legal excuse as determined by the attendance officer.

c) Absence Following Extra-Curricular Events: Each student must make every effort to be in school the school day following an extra-curricular activity. If a pattern of absences develops following an extra-curricular activity, the coach/advisor will take appropriate disciplinary action. If absences after an extra-curricular activity have been a problem, participation in the next scheduled activity may be suspended.

Activity Rules: In addition to the extra-curricular rules set forth in this policy, the individual coach/advisor may establish rules for the activity above and beyond what is outlined in this policy. These rules must be provided in writing to both the parents and students at the beginning of the season/activity. Some areas regulated by the coach/advisor rules may be, but are not limited to, curfews, late arrivals, or insubordination to the coach/advisor. Exceptions to the rules established by the coach/advisor may be made by the coach/advisor after conferring with the Athletic Director/Dean of Students. Violations to these rules may range from a warning, to suspension, to dismissal from the extra-curricular activity.

3. Violation Reports: Extra curricular activity student code violation reports will be accepted from coaches, administrators, teachers, school personnel and police officers as well as other “reliable sources” as determined by administration.

Drugs, Alcohol & Tobacco: Any student in possession of**, using, or distributing (selling) any controlled substance (drugs, alcoholic beverages, tobacco, steroids) will be subject to discipline under this policy. The District reserves the right to determine an appropriate penalty. (See determination of consequences section) The following will be generally applicable.

A. A first policy violation will result in student being ineligible to participate for ten (10) school weeks. However, students will still be eligible to practice at the discretion of the individual coach/advisor.

B. A second violation of the policy, the student will be ineligible to practice/participate for twenty (20) school weeks.

C. A third violation of the policy, the student will be suspended from all extra curricular activities for a period of forty (40) school weeks, with no chance of lessening the period of the suspension. Any subsequent violations will also result in a 40-week suspension.

At the discretion of the District the period of suspension may be lessened only in a first or second offense situation and then only if the student verifies that (s)he has pursued an evaluation and follows the recommended treatment with a New York State certified substance abuse counselor or agency. In the discretion of the District this may lessen the period of suspension by no more than half of the weeks of suspension. The student and/or parents should speak with the Athletic Director/Dean of Students to obtain an appropriate referral for counseling

** Possession includes knowingly being in close proximity to and/or actual control of a controlled substance as defined above.

Attending Parties: Students are prohibited from being present at any party where minors are illegally consuming drugs and/or alcohol. Remaining “present” means the student becomes aware or reasonably should have been aware, that alcohol or drugs were being consumed and that (s)he failed to leave the party. If a violation is verified, the student will be subject to a seven (7)-calendar day suspension from the activity for the first incident. Subsequent violations and the resulting penalties will be subject to the District’s discretion based upon the circumstances.

Self-Referrals: If a student self-refers for assistance in dealing with his/her alcohol or other drug use, (including tobacco) he/she will be referred to a Substance Abuse Coordinator or school counselor and given one-time amnesty from discipline if the following conditions are met: (1) He/she voluntarily acknowledges the problem before the investigative process begins, (2) Enrolls in a “program” described above, and (3) Continues with the program until discharged. A No-Use Contract will be signed but will not constitute an offense. If the student does not follow his/her recommended treatment program, he/she will be subject to the foregoing regulations regarding extra curricular activities. This section does not apply to a student being investigated under Sections 4 or 5.

Behavior and Conduct of Participants: Good community citizenship is required of all participants of extra-curricular activities. Good community citizenship involves following a high standard of behavior and conduct while in or out of the school setting. Students are expected to follow all laws, school and government regulations. Any student who is arrested or receives an appearance ticket from a law enforcement officer must report that incident immediately to his/her coach/advisor or the Athletic Director/Dean of Students. Failure to do so will constitute a violation of this policy. Any student who is arrested or receives an appearance ticket by police may be suspended from all extra-curricular activities until the Athletic Director/Dean of Students can investigate the infraction and a decision made on further participation. In addition, extra-curricular participants who have been found to violate the law and/or violate the school’s disciplinary code will be subject to consequences under this policy as determined by the Athletic Director/Dean of Students.

Returning School Property: Any student in possession of any school athletic equipment/costumes/or activity property or uniform will not be permitted to participate in another extra-curricular activity until all property has been returned or restitution is made.

Academic Eligibility: See attached policies: Wayland-Cohocton Central School Academic Eligibility Policy-High School and Wayland-Cohocton Central School Extra-Curricular Academic Eligibility Administrative Policy-Middle School.

Physical Education Requirements for Athletes - Athletics is an outgrowth of the Physical Education program. Those students demonstrating outstanding skill, attitude, and effort are those encouraged to participate in athletics. Because of the importance of Physical Education all athletes will be required to participate in Physical Education throughout the year.

If an athlete receives a written referral for conduct in a physical education class, lack of participation, or truancy (illegal absence), (s)he must attend practice or the game, but is ineligible to participate in the day’s practice session or game. Parents will receive a copy of the written warning. The Physical Education teacher will notify the Athletic Director who will in turn notify the coach. A student dropped for conduct or truancy from Physical Education will be ineligible to participate in athletics. N.Y.S.P.H.S.A.A. regulations state that a student must be enrolled in Physical Education to participate in athletics.

APPEAL PROCEDURES

If the student and his/her parents wish to appeal the disciplinary action by the Athletic Director/Dean of Students, the Principal must be notified in writing within one week (7 calendar days) after issuing the disciplinary decision. The Principal will schedule a meeting within one week (7 calendar days) of the appeals request and issue a written decision within 7 calendar days of the meeting. If appealing the decision of the Principal, written notice must be given within seven (7 calendar days) days of the decision to the Superintendent of Schools. The Superintendent will issue a written decision within 7 calendar days of receiving the notice of appeal. The final step of the process of appeal is with The Board of Education. The Office of the Superintendent must receive an appeal to the Board of Education within seven (7 calendar days) of receipt of the Superintendent’s decision.

Wayland-Cohocton Central School

Academic Eligibility Policy

High School

The academic and/or vocational education of our students is the primary function of our school system. All activities outside of the classroom require a tremendous amount of time and effort. These activities are important but will not diminish the educational function of our school.

In order to participate in any *extra-curricular activity or to participate in any event outside of regularly scheduled classes, a student must earn and maintain passing grades in his/her academic program of studies.

In September of each academic year, all students are eligible to participate in all activities. At the beginning of each activity, advisors/coaches will submit to the High School Office a roster of students participating in their activity, which will then be compiled into a comprehensive list available to teachers. Any changes in the rosters must be reported in a timely fashion in order for the comprehensive list to be updated.

At each 5-week period, teachers will provide information to the Athletic Office regarding students who are failing any subjects and an academic eligibility list will be generated. At the end of each 5-week period, students who are failing, receiving an incomplete or and unsatisfactory grade in one class will be allowed to practice and participate if they stay for assistance 13^th period. Students failing, receiving an incomplete or unsatisfactory grade in two classes** will be on probation and will be allowed to practice, providing they stay for assistance 13^th period. However, they will NOT be allowed to participate in any competitions or scrimmages for a minimum of one week. After one week, it will be a teacher’s prerogative to release a student from the failing list contingent upon a passing grade. The teacher will notify the coach/advisor, High School Principal, Mr. Whyte and the Athletic Office. Students must make arrangements with teacher(s) to stay a minimum of two nights per week unless legally excused from school. Green passes will be used by the staff to communicate practice and participation privileges to the activity supervisor. If a student does not stay for 13^th period assistance, he/she will not be able to practice or participate.

If a student receives a failing, incomplete or unsatisfactory grade in three or more classes**, he/she will be ineligible to practice and participate in any activity for a minimum of two weeks. Students must make arrangements with teacher(s) to stay 13^th period at least four nights per week unless legally excused from school.

*Extra-curricular activities are defined as all non-credit bearing activities in which a student may practice or participate during the school day or after 3:20 pm. Attendance at school functions will not be monitored for purposes of the academic eligibility list. (i.e. football games, dances, etc.)

**If a student NC’s in a semester course, it will be considered a failing course for the rest of the semester. If a student NC’s a yearlong course, it will be a failing course for the rest of the year. In addition, a student may not drop a course they are failing for eligibility purposes. A failing course that is dropped will remain as a failing grade on the eligibility list until the next list is published.

Parent – Coach Relationship

Both parenting and coaching are very difficult vocations. By establishing an understanding of each person’s role, we will be better able to accept the actions of the other and provide great benefits to children participating in Interscholastic Athletics. When your child(ren) become involved in our sports program, you should have an understanding of what expectations are placed on your child. This begins with clear communication from the coaches of your child’s program.

Communication you may expect from your child’s coach

Philosophy of the coach
Expectations that the coach has for your child as well as for the participants on the team
Location and times of all practices and contests
Team requirements (i.e., fees, special equipment, attendance, etc.)
Procedure should your child be injured during a practice/contest
Discipline that may result in the denial of your child’s participation

Communications coaches expect from parents

Concerns expressed directly to the coach
Notifications of any schedule conflicts well in advance
Specific concerns in regard to coach’s philosophy and/or expectations
Health related issues that may impact child’s ability to participate.

As your child becomes involved in programs at Wayland-Cohocton School, they will experience some of the most rewarding moments in their lives. It is important to understand that there also may be times when things do not necessarily go the way that you or your child may wish. At these times, discussion with the coach is encouraged.

Appropriate concerns to discuss with the coach

The treatment of your child mentally and physically
Ways to help your child improve (i.e., attendance at camps, summer leagues, etc.)
Concerns about your child’s behavior

It is very difficult to accept your child’s not playing as much as you and your child may hope. Coaches are professionals. As such, they make judgment decisions based on what they believe to be the best for all athletes involved as well as the team as a whole. There are bound to be areas where you as a parent disagree with a coach’s decision. While the issues above are appropriate to be discussed with the coaches, certain things must be left to the discretion of the coach.

Issues NOT appropriate to discuss with coaches

Team strategy
Play calling
Amount of playing time
Other student athletes

There are situations that may require a conference between the coach and a parent. These are to be encouraged, since it is important that both parties involved have a clear understanding of the other’s position. When such a conference is necessary or desired, the following procedure should be followed to help promote a resolution to the issue of concern.

Procedure to follow to discuss an issue with a coach

Call the coach at Wayland-Cohocton School (728-2366) to discuss the issue with the coach or to arrange an appointment to meet with the coach.
If the coach cannot be reached at school, call the Athletic Director, Mr. Brownell, to arrange an appointment to discuss or meet with the coach.
Do not attempt to confront a coach before, during or after a contest or practice. These can be emotional times for both the parent and the coach. Meetings of this nature do not promote resolution of issues.

What can a parent do if the meeting with a coach did not provide a resolution?

Call the Athletic Director, Mr. Brownell, to discuss the issue and possibly arrange a meeting with the parent, coach and athletic director.
If this step does not provide solution, then a meeting with the secondary principal, athletic director, parent and coach may be arranged.

We sincerely hope that this information will assist in making your and your child’s experiences with the Wayland-Cohocton Central School Athletic Department more enjoyable and rewarding!

PARENTS MUST SIGN THE ATTACHED SHEET WHICH WILL INDICATE THAT YOU HAVE RECEIVED AND READ THIS COMMUNICATION. PLEASE RETURN THE SIGNED SHEET TO YOUR CHILD’S COACH WITHIN ONE WEEK OF RECEIPT.

ATHLETES MAY NOT BE ALLOWED TO PRACTICE OR PARTICIPATE IF THIS SHEET IS NOT RETURNED TO THEIR COACH BY THAT TIME.

THANK YOU!!!

Dear Parent/Guardian:

Wayland-Cohocton High School is about to begin utilizing an innovative program for our student athletes. The program is called ImPACT (Immediate Post Concussion Assessment and Cognitive Testing). It is a computerized exam that the athlete takes prior to the season. If the athlete is believed to have suffered a head injury, they re-take the exam to help determine the extent of the injury, the location of the injury and when the injury has healed. This system is utilized throughout professional sports, has been mandated in the NHL and is fast becoming the “Gold Standard” in recognizing and better managing concussion type injuries. The University Of Pittsburgh Medical Center’s Sports Concussion Program is the founding group of this software. It is used by 18 NFL teams, US Soccer and countless colleges and high schools across the country. The exam has gained recognition around the world. Additional information can be found at www.impacttest.com.

The exam takes about 15-25 minutes, and is non-invasive. The program is basically set-up as a “video game” type format. For example, in one part of the exam, a dozen common words appear at one time on the screen for about one second each. The athlete is then later asked what words were displayed. What it is doing is giving the brain a preseason physical of its cognitive abilities. It tracks information such as memory, reaction time, processing speed and concentration. It is simple, and actually, most that take it enjoy the challenge of the test.

If a concussion is suspected, the test is re-taken. If the information can be used to better determine recovery from concussion, it is given to the neuropsychologists at the UPMC to help interpret the data. The information may be shared with your regular doctor, at your request, and a sound decision can be made as to when return-to-play is appropriate and safe. At WCCS, we understand the competitive nature of sports, but we always hold the athlete’s health and safety as our top priority.

I wish to stress that there is no invasive work being done with this program. This gives us the best available information in preventing brain damage that can occur with multiple concussions. The WCCS administration and coaching staffs are trying to keep your child’s health and safety at the forefront of the High School athletic experience.

Please sign and return the second sheet indicating permission for your son/daughter to take the test. If you have any questions regarding this program, please feel free to contact me. Thank you.

Sincerely,

Jim Brownell, Athletic Director
