Behavior
As athletes at Middle School East, our students are not only participants in sports but also ambassadors of our school community. As such, we hold them to a higher standard of conduct, expecting them to consistently exhibit exceptional behavior. We believe our athletes should serve as positive role models, setting an example for their peers. Their actions both on and off the field should reflect the values and principles of our school, inspiring others to strive for similar excellence.
Important Policies to remember:
- Chemical Use Eligibility Policy - Same policy as STMA High School
- 1st violation - 2 weeks or 2 events
- Association - 1 week or 1 event
- Academic Eligibility Policy
- You need to be passing all of your classes to be in activities.
- Mid-trimester: Ineligible until passing all their classes.
- Attendance Policy
- You need to be in class five full periods of the day in order to practice or play in a game that night. If you have a doctor’s appointment, you may be excused from this requirement, but you need to make sure to bring a note to our attendance person from the doctor explaining that the appointment took longer than usual.
- Your coaches will expect you to be at practice every day. Missed practices may result in reduced playing time.
- We will bus you to and from all road games, but you may ride home with your parents after a game rather than ride the bus back to school. You need to have your parent sign out with your coach if you ride home with a parent. If you are planning to ride home with someone else’s parents, your parents need to notify your Activities Director, of this one day in advance.
Clothes
Make sure to have warm clothes with you at all times. There will be some very cold days in the spring, so dress appropriately
