A new state rule – 24:03:06:02 states: “Elementary student activities: A well-balanced activity program for both boys and girls applicable to their age group which provides opportunity for participation by all students must be maintained. Elementary athletic activity programs must place emphasis on intramural programs involving broad pupil participation and the teaching of basic athletic skills. School sponsored interschool athletic competition is discouraged where intramural programs can provide for participation needs.”
Sixth grade students are eligible to participate in junior high sporting activities pending approval from the school board per the request of the coaches per sport. If the Alcester-Hudson School Board approves the participation of 6th grade students in a specific sporting event, the students’ needs to follow the rules of the Junior High/High
School participation and the academic eligibility policy. The coach from the sport will be contacting the student and letting the student know what forms the student will need to have filled out, signed and returned to the office before participating.
