PENN-HARRIS-MADISON SCHOOL CORPORATION

MIDDLE SCHOOL ATHLETIC/ACADEMIC

COMPETITION AND EXTRACURRICULAR

ACTIVITY CODE OF CONDUCT

It is a privilege and an honor to represent PHM Middle Schools in any contest, competition, or activity. We expect our students and their behavior to be a source of pride and dignity at these events.

Any student choosing to become involved in any athletic, academic, or extracurricular program is expected to consistently observe specific behavioral and academic expectations in order to maintain continuing eligibility for participation in these programs.

1.  No involvement with or use of alcohol.

2.  No involvement with or use of tobacco.

3.  No involvement with or use of drugs.

4.  Comply with PHM Students Policy 360 (Random Drug Screening).

5.  No act of gross misconduct.

6.  Follow team, activity, or club rules and expectations.

7.  Maintain passing grades meeting school eligibility rules.

Students who violate any of these basic expectations on or off school property will be subject to immediate disciplinary consequences.

Also, it is recommended that parents of students participating in intramural activities have their child examined by a physician if there is any doubt about the child’s health. THE SCHOOL CORPORATION DOES NOT COVER INSURANCE COSTS FOR ANY STUDENT INJURED DURING EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES.

ALL STUDENTS DESIRING TO PARTICIPATE IN ANY ATHLETIC, ACADEMIC, OR OTHER EXTRACURRICULAR PROGRAM MUST CONSENT TO PARTICIPATE IN THE STUDENT DRUG EDUCATION AND TESTING PROGRAM. STUDENTS MAY NOT PARTICIPATE UNTIL A CONSENT FORM IS COMPLETED AND ON FILE IN THE SCHOOL OFFICE.

Consequences for a positive drug test are as follows:

First positive test = ineligible for current season.

Second positive test = ineligible for one calendar school year (12 months).

Students participating in athletics will follow academic guidelines established by the PHM School Corporation, which state: Participants’ grades will be evaluated at three-week intervals. Any individual failing two subjects will be ineligible for the following three weeks. Athletes who are receiving one F will not be allowed to participate for one week. If they are passing after one week, they may be reinstated on the team. If they are failing at that time, they are ineligible for two more weeks.
