Bellingham Public Schools Bellingham, Washington

2150 Policy – Co-Curricular Program

Bellingham Public Schools recognizes the value of co-curriculum programs and affirms its importance in assisting students to develop the knowledge, skills, and qualities required to be successful in a diverse society. The co-curricular program shall include activities that are an extension of curriculum and/or the classroom, e.g. performing music groups and performing drama groups. Extra curricular activities program shall include, but not be limited to: all WIAA sanctioned activities, interscholastic athletics, student body officers, cheerleaders, drill/dance team members, and those other activity organizations recognized by the ASB and who represent the school.

The co-curricular/extra curricular activity program is an integral part of the total school program and the opportunity for participation shall be open to all students regardless of individual differences or financial hardship.

Because co-curricular/extra curricular activity participants are representatives of Bellingham Public Schools when they perform in public, they are expected to conduct themselves at all times in a manner that will reflect the high standards and ideals of their team, activity group, school and community. As a result, in addition to the “Student Rights and Responsibilities” (Policy 3200), co-curricular/extra curricular activity participants shall also be governed by procedures to be established by the superintendent (referred to herein as the Co-Curricular/Extra Curricular Activities Code) and the appropriate Code of Behavior Standards established for the specific activity.

DEFINITION OF CO-CURRICULAR ACTIVITY Co-curricular activities are those activities which are integral to the classroom and result in a course grade and credit. DEFINITION OF/EXTRA CURRICULAR ACTIVITY Extra curricular activities are those activities which are in addition to or outside of classroom instruction and do not result in a grade nor credit. Students may request to waive up to 1.5 physical education credits if they provide proof of participation in extra-curricular activities (Policy 2410). Any activity for which a grade is issued is not considered an extra curricular activity. SCOPE OF CO-CURRICULAR/EXTRA CURRICULAR ACTIVITY CODE The rules and regulations contained in the Co-Curricular/Extra Curricular Activities Code shall apply to any violation occurring on school premises, at any school-sponsored activity, or off school grounds during the one calendar year following the date of signing.

Approved By: Greg Baker

Adopted: 04/13/95 Previous Revisions: 03/20/08; 02/26/09; 02/04/15 Signature Date: 09/27/18 Approved: Superintendent Approved


2150 Procedure – Co-Curricular Program

CODE OF CONDUCT Participation in high school activity/athletic programs is a privilege, not a right. All participants are expected to demonstrate high levels of citizenship and academic performance in order to represent their school as a member of a team or club activity.

To be eligible for participation, a signed verification by the student and parent indicating they have received and read a copy of the Activity/Athletic Code of Conduct, as well as the specific rules and regulations of an individual activity/athletic program, must be submitted annually by the parent or student and kept on file in the office of the activities coordinator of the school.

The Code of Conduct must be signed each year and will be in effect for each season in which the student participates, including school sponsored summer programs. The appropriate sanctions, as described in this procedure, will be applied for violations that occur during the season of participation.

GENERAL REGULATIONS

1. Washington Interscholastic Activities Association rules must be followed in all cases of eligibility, transfer, insurance coverage, season dates, use of school equipment, etc.

2. Prior to the first practice for participation in interscholastic athletics, a student must undergo a thorough medical examination and be approved for interscholastic athletic competition by a medical authority licensed to perform a physical examination. The physical examination shall be valid for twenty-four (24) consecutive months unless the physician indicates the physical is only good for less than twenty-four (24) months. Also, the current physical must extend through the duration of the entire sports season. Physicals which expire during the sports season will not be accepted for clearance.

3. No athlete may quit one sport and turn out for another after the season has begun without the mutual consent of the coaches.

4. Participants must travel to and from contests away from Bellingham in transportation provided by the school. The only exceptions permitted are: • Injury to a participant which requires alternate transportation; or • Prior arrangement between the participant’s parent/guardian and the coach/advisor

for the student to ride with parent/guardian. 5. Completion of the activity/athletic/extra-curricular activity’s season is required in order

for the student to be eligible for letter or other team or individual awards. (Exception: injury which limits participation.) No awards shall be given to any student suspended for the remainder of the season for Activity/athletic/Extra-Curricular Activity Code of Conduct violations.

6. An athlete who has been injured and has had medical treatment cannot participate until a signed release from the doctor is presented to the school Activities Office. The release form will be kept on file by the school administration. (Form provided by school.)

7. Any display of un-sportsmanlike conduct toward an opponent or official or the use of profane, obscene, or vulgar language or gestures during a practice or contest will result in counseling by the head coach/advisor and/or other corrective action, including possible exclusion.

8. School-owned equipment checked out by a participant in any activity/athletic/extra-curricular activity is his/her responsibility. The participant will be financially responsible


for the loss or misuse of this equipment. Participants will not be allowed to continue competing or to receive awards until this obligation is fulfilled.

9. Any student representing the school in activity/athletic/extra-curricular activities must meet the dress standards deemed appropriate by the advisor/coach and school administration. Coaches and advisors of activities will notify participants as to the standards they expect.

10. A participant is expected to attend all scheduled practices, meetings, contests and performances, whether or not school is in session. If it is necessary to be absent, prior notification must be provided to the advisor/coach no less than 48 hours prior to the planned absence. Exceptions to the 48-hour requirement may be made at the discretion of the principal for good cause.

11. A participant shall not engage in conduct detrimental to the group or to the school. 12. A participant shall not steal or use another’s property without permission. 13. A participant shall not use, consume, possess, transmit or sell alcoholic beverages,

drugs, narcotics or tobacco (including smokeless tobacco and vaping.) Nor shall a participant use or possess drug paraphernalia.

STUDENT ATTENDANCE REQUIREMENTS

1. A student must be in school the entire day in order to participate in a practice or activity/athletic/extra-curricular activity that day. The only regular exceptions to this requirement are funerals, pre-planned medical/legal appointments, or school sponsored events. A student may appeal to the principal to excuse an absence for a reason other than one of those noted above. The principal may grant an excuse for unusual circumstances.

ACADEMIC STANDARDS

1. Participation in an activity/athletic/extra-curricular activity program requires successful performance in academics. The academic standards place proper emphasis upon student achievement in the classroom to maintain eligibility.

2. In order to maintain athletic eligibility, students must be enrolled in seven (7) classes in an eight (8) period class schedule or the equivalent in the immediately preceding semester.

3. In order to maintain athletic eligibility during the current semester, the student must maintain passing grades in seven (7) classes of an eight (8) period class schedule or the equivalent credits in the immediately preceding semester in order to be eligible for competition during the succeeding semester.

4. Running Start student eligibility for participation in activity/athletic/extra-curricular activities is determined at their high school of residence and must be in compliance with WIAA Eligibility Standard 18.27.0.

5. Academic eligibility is established at least every three weeks during the extra-curricular activity season. In order to be eligible to participate in an activity, a student must be registered, attending and passing all assigned classes. Students who do not have passing grades will be excluded. The participant’s parent or guardian will be notified of such exclusion. Students who raise their grades to passing during the ineligible period must receive teacher confirmation of this grade in order to become eligible. Clerical errors made by a teacher may be corrected by mutual agreement between the teacher and the activities coordinator.

6. Academic eligibility assessments shall begin the third week of the school year and will occur every three weeks throughout the year. Students marked as failing will be ineligible until they are passing all classes. Once passing, they are required to submit an eligibility form to the Activities Office. The ineligibility will begin the Monday following each three-week grade check and continue until the student is passing.


Eligibility slips will be marked with one of the following:

• “P” (passing,) – A “P” will mean the participant is eligible for competition the following week.

• “F” (failing) – An “F” means that the student is not passing a particular class. If a student receives an “F” in any course, s/he will be excluded from participating in the activity for the following week and any subsequent weeks until the academic situation is rectified.

• “I” (improving) – An “I” means the student is improving in a particular class and is thus eligible for participation. This grade must be checked weekly until the grade becomes a “P”.

7. Students who receive an “F” will have an ineligibility slip circulated at each three-week grade check. The student will become eligible when they successfully submit the form with the passing grade signed by the teacher to the Activities Office.

8. Forging of a signature or a grade will result in automatic exclusion for the season. CITIZENSHIP STANDARDS

1. All participants must demonstrate good citizenship in the school building, classroom, and activity/athletic/extra-curricular activity program. Conduct that materially and substantially interferes with the educational process is prohibited.

2. Any participant referred to the administration for disruptive behavior will be made aware of the possible consequences of his/her actions and may be subject to appropriate corrective action. • Upon a second referral that requires administrative action, the participant will be

declared ineligible for the following week. • If there is a third referral requiring administrative action, the participant will be

excluded from the activity/athletic/extra-curricular activity for the remainder of the season.

USE OF ALCOHOL, LEGEND DRUGS AND CONTROLLED SUBSTANCES

Bellingham Public Schools recognizes that chemical dependency is a serious illness and the use of drugs may be a violation of the law. The principal/principal designee and coach/advisor will implement the following disciplinary action as a result of a participant’s offense for use, consumption, possession, transmittal or sale of alcohol, legend drugs, or controlled substances or for the use, sale, or possession of drug paraphernalia.

The substance abuse offenses/violations described will accumulate through the student’s high school activity/athletic/extra-curricular career and will trigger the disciplinary action described below. The following definitions apply: 1. Definitions: Proximity Offense – In the absence of physical possession, if there is knowledge that alcohol, tobacco, drugs or other illegal substances are present and/or being used by others who are present—all students have a responsibility to remove themselves from that situation immediately. This rule does not apply to events where alcohol or drug use is permitted by law, such as at religious ceremonies or where alcohol use is restricted to adults. Exclusion – Athletic/activity exclusion means the complete denial of the privilege to participate in the athletic/activity program for an indefinite or defined period of time. Self-Referral – Self-referral of a violation means that the student admits to the infraction before an investigation or inquiry by any school staff or legal authority, e.g. police officer. Self-Admittance – Self-admittance of a violation means that, when questioned as part of an investigation, a student responds honestly and is cooperative.


2. Sanctions: A. Sale of or Intent to Sell Alcohol or Marijuana

First Violation involving Sale of or Intent to Sell Alcohol or Marijuana Any student who is found to have been engaged in the sale or an effort to sell alcohol or marijuana will be excluded from all sports or activities in the district.

DISCIPLINE/GRIEVANCE PROCEDURE The grievance procedure for any sanction involving an activity/athletic/extra-curricular activity program is provided within Bellingham Public Schools Policy 3200.

1. Any student, parent or guardian who is aggrieved by the suspension or termination of extra-curricular privileges under these rules shall have the right to an informal conference with the building principal or his/her designee for the purpose of resolving the grievance. During such conference, the student, parent or guardian shall be subject to questioning by the building principal or his/her designee and shall be entitled to question school personnel involved in the matter being grieved.

2. If the grievance is not resolved at the informal conference, the student, parent or guardian, upon two (2) school business days’ prior notice, shall have the right to present a written and/or oral grievance to the superintendent of the district or his/her designee.

3. If the grievance is not resolved at the superintendent’s level, the student, parent or guardian, upon two (2) school business days’ prior notice, shall have the right to present a written and/or oral grievance to the school district’s disciplinary appeal council. The council shall notify the student, parent or guardian of its response to the grievance within ten (10) school business days after the date of the meeting.

ADVISOR’S/COACH’S STANDARDS Any additional, specific rules or regulations established by the advisor/coach regarding a specific activity that are not covered within the Activity/athletic/Extra-Curricular Activity Code must be consistent with the Code and must be approved by the principal and activities coordinator in advance. Any additional rules and regulations must be in writing and kept on file in the school office of the activities coordinator. Each participant must be informed of such rules and must sign a copy indicating that they have reviewed them. The signed copies will be kept on file in the school office of the activities coordinator for the duration of that athletic or activity season.

Bellingham Public Schools implemented later high school start times to better match teen’s biological clocks. This is in accordance with medical, health and wellness experts and the mounting evidence of improvements in student learning, health, mood and attendance associated with a later start in the school day. To support this effort, advisors and coaches are not to hold practices before the school day commences. Exceptions will be addressed on a case-by-case basis with prior approval by the corresponding high school athletic coordinator and a school administrator, with prior notification to the superintendent or designee.

FACT SHEET FOR

HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETES

This sheet has information to help you protect yourself from concussion

or other serious brain injury and know what to do if a concussion occurs.

WHAT IS A CONCUSSION?

A concussion is a brain injury that affects how your brain works. It can happen

when your brain gets bounced around in your skull after a fall or hit to the head.

WHAT SHOULD I DO IF I THINK I HAVE A CONCUSSION?

REPORT IT.

Tell your coach, parent, and athletic trainer if you think you or one of your

teammates may have a concussion. It’s up to you to report your symptoms. Your

coach and team are relying on you. Plus, you won’t play your best if you are not

feeling well.

GET CHECKED OUT.

If you think you have a concussion, do not return to play on the day of the injury.

Only a health care provider can tell if you have a concussion and when it is OK to

return to school and play. The sooner you get checked out, the sooner you may be

able to safely return to play.

GIVE YOUR BRAIN TIME TO HEAL.

A concussion can make everyday activities, such as going to school, harder. You

may need extra help getting back to your normal activities. Be sure to update

your parents and doctor about how you are feeling.

WHY SHOULD I TELL MY COACH AND PARENT ABOUT MY SYMPTOMS?

• Playing or practicing with a concussion is dangerous

and can lead to a longer recovery. • While your brain is still healing, you are much more

likely to have another concussion. This can put you at risk for a more serious injury to your brain and can even be fatal.

HOW CAN I TELL IF I HAVE A CONCUSSION?

You may have a concussion if you have any of these

symptoms after a bump, blow, or jolt to the head or body: • Get a headache

• Feel dizzy, sluggish, or foggy

• Are bothered by light or noise

• Have double or blurry vision

• Vomit or feel sick to your stomach

• Have trouble focusing or problems remembering

• Feel more emotional or “down”

• Feel confused

• Have problems with sleep

Concussion symptoms usually show up right away, but you

might not notice that something “isn’t right” for hours or

days. A concussion feels different to each person, so it is

important to tell your parents and doctor how you are

feeling.

The information provided in this document or through linkages to other sites is not a substitute for medical or professional care. Questions about diagnosis and treatment for concussion should be directed to a physician or other health care provider.

HOW CAN I HELP MY TEAM?

PROTECT YOUR BRAIN.

Avoid hits to the head and follow the rules for safe and

fair play to lower your chances of getting a concussion.

Ask your coaches for more tips.

BE A TEAM PLAYER.

You play an important role as part of a team. Encourage

your teammates to report their symptoms and help them

feel comfortable taking the time they need to get better.

GOOD TEAMMATES KNOW:

“IT’S BETTER TO MISS ONE GAME THAN THE WHOLE SEASON.”

Sudden Cardiac Arrest Information Sheet for

Student-Athletes, Coaches and Parents/Guardians

SSB 5083 ~ SCA Awareness Act

What is sudden cardiac arrest? Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) is the sudden onset of an abnormal and lethal heart rhythm, causing the heart to stop beating and the individual to collapse. SCA is the leading cause of death in the U.S. afflicting over 300,000 individuals per year.

SCA is also the leading cause of sudden death in young athletes during sports

What causes sudden cardiac arrest? SCA in young athletes is usually caused by a structural or electrical disorder of the heart. Many of these conditions are inherited (genetic) and can develop as an adolescent or young adult. SCA is more likely during exercise or physical activity, placing student-athletes with undiagnosed heart conditions at greater risk. SCA also can occur from a direct blow to the chest by a firm projectile (baseball, softball, lacrosse ball, or hockey puck) or by chest contact from another player (called “commotio cordis”).

While a heart condition may have no warning signs, some young athletes may have symptoms but neglect to tell an adult. If any of the following symptoms are present, a cardiac evaluation by a physician is recommended:

· Passing out during exercise · Chest pain with exercise · Excessive shortness of breath with exercise · Palpitations (heart racing for no reason) · Unexplained seizures · A family member with early onset heart disease or sudden death from a heart condition before the age of 40

How to prevent and treat sudden cardiac arrest? Some heart conditions at risk for SCA can be detected by a thorough heart screening evaluation. However, all schools and teams should be prepared to respond to a cardiac emergency. Young athletes who suffer SCA are collapsed and unresponsive and may appear to have brief seizure-like activity or abnormal breathing (gasping). SCA can be effectively treated by immediate recognition, prompt CPR, and quick access to a defibrillator (AED). AEDs are safe, portable devices that read and analyze the heart rhythm and provide an electric shock (if necessary) to restore a normal heart rhythm.

Remember, to save a life: recognize SCA, call 9-1-1, begin CPR, and use an AED as soon as possible!
