Any student who wants to participate in an extracurricular activity through the Chillicothe City School District (CCSD) must report to school by 9:00 am the day of the (event to participate in that day’s contest) and by 9:00 am the day after the event in order to participate (in the next scheduled contest) unless the student produces a doctor’s note excusing his or her absence or the absence has been pre-approved by the building principal or attendance officer.

Here are some examples of how the policy will be enforced:

Example: Volleyball game on Tuesday and Susie reports to school late on Tuesday at 8:59 am.  She is still eligible to play under our policy in that night’s contest.  Susie then reports the following day (Wednesday the day after the game) at 9:01 am without a doctor’s note or valid reason (8 reasons Ohio Revised Code says to excuse) for her lateness other than a parent note saying she had a headache then Susie must sit out her next athletic contest regardless of when the next contest is.

Example: Football player comes in at 9:35 am on Friday (game day) without a doctor’s excuse or valid reason for his absence, he is ineligible to participate in that night’s contest.  A football player must be in attendance Monday by 9:00 AM or have a valid excuse or they cannot participate in the next game.

Example: Soccer player comes in at 9:25 am on Friday (day before Saturday game) without a doctor’s excuse or valid reason for his absence and he will be disciplined for his tardy but he is still eligible for Saturday’s game.  The player comes in Monday after the Saturday contest at 9:20 without a valid excuse and their next contest is the following Thursday.  They may practice with the team Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday.  They may dress for the Thursday event, but must sit out the event.
