Participation in basketball and track is primarily for students in grades 4-7.  No student may start practice for any athletic team until he/she has been examined and approved by a physician, and until written consent has been obtained from the parent/guardian.  A grade of C or better in all subjects must be maintained weekly for eligibility.  Students will also not be allowed to participate in any practices or games on the date that they are absent from school without prior approval of the principal to be absent.
