Every student trying out for a team or sports club must bring
a separate signed Release Form (Appendix F) to each try-out. These
are available in the Athletic Director's office and the Office
of Student Activities. In addition, as a requirement for acceptance
on a team, the student must have a Health Form on file in the nurse's
office. This form confirms that he/she is in good health and had
a complete physical examination no more than twelve months prior
to the end of the season.
All team members are subject to the academic review process aimed
at ensuring that the athlete's academics will not be negatively
affected by his/her participation on a sports team. In order to
be accepted and continue on a team, it is important that the student
maintains UNIS academic standards (i.e. no more than one grade
lower than 4- in core academic subjects) throughout the season.
A student who falls below this standard, and is therefore placed
on academic watch or probation, risks being removed from the team
by the Tutorial House Principal.
Academic review for the Fall season participation is based on
performance on the June report cards. Participation in the Winter
season is based on teachers' affirmation that the student continues
to maintain UNIS academic standards. Participation in the Spring
season will be based on performance on the January report cards.
There will also be mid-season academic reviews.
The Tutorial House Principal may also remove an athlete from a
team if the school's behavioral standards are not met and the student
is put on behavior watch or behavior probation.
Students are responsible for making up all schoolwork missed due
to participation in the teams. Punctuality and consistent attendance
are expected at all practices and games. |
