By Salem-Keizer School District policy, any currently participating athlete at an S-K high school who receives an "F" or a grade point average below 2.0 in the previous 6-week grading period must be placed in a study program. This program at West entails those athletes reporting to a predetermined room with their lunch, during their lunch period, every day until dismissed from the program. This program is monitored by Mr. Sutherland - Athletic Director.
The program for grades reported during the past 6-week grading period will begin on Monday, 10/26/09. Athletes have been notified.
Students have 12 minutes from the end of the period prior to their lunch to report to the designated room. Again, they may bring their lunch. If a student/athlete is late, they will not be allowed to attend. This will be counted as an unexcused absence from the study program.
If an athlete is either unexcused absent from the study program or absent due to sickness, they will not be allowed to participate in any athletic activity for that day - practice or contest.
This program is designed to ensure that West athletes are students first. Athletics teaches the "life lessons" that support academics, they are not our primary purpose.
