Attendance

As per Ernest Manning High School Student Code of Conduct students are expected  to attend 100% of their classes. Failure to attend classes due to unexcused absences will result in the student being ineligible to participate in athletics. Classroom attendance is the shared responsibility between the parent, student, coach and athletic director. If a student is not attending classes they will be suspended from competition until attendance improves. This will be communicated to the student athlete and parent by the school’s Athletic Director, this decision is not subject to an appeal process.
Our Athletic Department expects students to attend 100% of their practices. Should a student miss a practice they will be deemed ineligible to dress for that week’s game. Students needing to miss practice must communicate directly with their coach. It is then at the coaches discretion with how to proceed with regards to eligibility.

Academic Expectations

Students are expected to maintain academic integrity at all times. Communication between student athlete and teacher is critical. It is the student athlete’s responsibility to communicate absences in advance to their teacher. Students are responsible for all course work regardless of athletic participation. The Athletics Department expects that students maintain an average of 65% in each of their courses to maintain athletic eligibility.
