Student-athletes must attend at least three consecutive academic periods the day of a practice or game in order to practice or play. The only exception to this rule is if the absence is caused due to a school event (i.e. field trip). For athletic events requiring the student-athlete to miss a whole day of school, the student must attend at least three (3) consecutive academic periods the previous school day. These same rules apply for student participation in competitions outside of athletics: academic competitions, fine arts, etc.
