Down/off list is a way the activities dept. and the coaches monitor the academic progress of its participants. The school has a policy set in place that assures a student activities participant is making progress in the classroom. Each week, teachers in 7-12 get a list of activity participants during that season. If a participant is not making adequate progress (failing) in a class they are marked on this list. The list is given to the activities dept. Coaches and parents are notified by email at this time. The first time an individual is on the list, they are considered down. There is a one week period in which the individual has to get their work up to standards for that class. During the week, the student can still practice and play in games. If after this week the student has improved, then they will no longer be on the list. However, if they are put on the list for two consecutive weeks in the same subject they would be put on the off list. While on the off list, students are not able to practice or participate in games. This could continue longer than a week if progress is not made. Keep talking to your student about keeping their grades up. Parents can monitor grades on the school website under the Family Access for Skyward using their school password. If you do not know your password, email Patty Obey, pobey@chatfieldschools.com
Bus Procedures We would like everyone to ride the bus to and from the events when a bus is provided. If your child does need to ride home with you, a note signed by you must be given to the coach. If someone other than the parent is providing a ride for your child, then this must be PRE-APPROVED by the Principal or the Activities Director.
