Academic grades for Juniors and Seniors (A, B, C, D, F) encompass an evaluation of student effort and are based on the standardized grading percentage ranges: 100-90 = A, 89-80 = B, 79-70 = C, 69-60 = D, below 60 = F. Semester progress reports are also mailed to each student’s home. 12

Freshmen, Sophom*ores and Juniors will be calculated using the following scale:

Adult Status Students who have attained the age of 18 are adults and legally responsible for their actions. They are expected to follow all rules as they apply to the entire student body with the following exception: Adult students not residing with their parent or guardian may sign excuse documentation for their own absence from school. Evidence may be required as to the need for the absence.

Announcements Announcements are for communication of important information to the student body. Announcements should be submitted to the main office. Students wishing to submit announcements must receive proper signatures from teacher/coach/adviser before submitting to administrator.

Counseling and Guidance Services Niles High School offers student counseling and guidance in educational, vocational, and personal fields. Three guidance counselors and a behavior specialist provide services which cover scheduling, major and career pathway planning, testing, scholarship awareness, personal counseling, conflict resolution, alternative methods of earning credit, job requirements, as well as providing information and help with post-secondary options. Students may make a counseling appointment by signing up in the Guidance Office before or after school, during lunch, or between classes if time permits.

Class Changes Classes are scheduled for each student based on the signed request form. Students wishing to change the requests made for their schedule must do so before the end of the previous school year as per signed schedule request forms. There will not be any changes out of scheduled classes listed on the request form. If there is an error in scheduling, please request to see your counselor during the first four days of the semester.

Dances School dances are held throughout the year and are sponsored by various organizations. Students must show their school ID card at the door. Any student who wishes to bring a guest must return a completed guest pass form to the principal’s secretary two days prior to the end of the school day of the dance. Guest pass forms are available from the principal’s secretary. All guests must be high school students, or not over the age of 18. Prom guests may not be over the age of twenty (20) years of age. The NHS principal or his/her designee must approve all guest passes. Students will be admitted to the dance up until 10:00 p.m., unless prior arrangements have been made with administrators. Once a student leaves the dance, he/she will not be allowed to re-enter. All dances held at NHS will end promptly at 11:15 p.m. Students are asked to leave the building at the conclusion of the dance. Students will need to make ride arrangements before coming to the dance, as there will be no student supervision once the dance ends.

Procedure for Parents to Follow to Solve a Perceived Classroom Problem At the first sign of concern a parent should contact the teacher before a small incident becomes a big problem. Often situations can be resolved at this stage. The accepted procedure to register a serious concern effectively is: 1. Contact the teacher in person or by phone for an appointment. 2. When arriving for an appointment, check in at the office. 3. Speak to the teacher about the specific problem, and if a change is indicated, agree on a reasonably short time for the changes to be completed. 4. If the classroom situation has not changed within the agreed upon time, make an appointment to speak to the teacher and principal or his/her designee. The Board advises the public that the proper channeling of complaints involving instruction, discipline, or learning materials is as follows: 1. Teacher 2. Appropriate grade level assistant principal 3. Principal or his/her designee 4. Superintendent or his/her designee, if appropriate 5. Board of Education Specific procedures for processing complaints are available from your building principal’s office or Doug Law, Superintendent, Niles Community Schools, 111 Spruce Street.

School-To-Career The School-to-Career Program is offered to all students. It is designed to provide a work based learning experience in a student’s chosen career. School-to-Career students are to leave the building when scheduled to do so. Students who do not leave at the scheduled time will be sent to the office. Students will be required to participate in all scheduled system wide testing and follow regular /modified bell schedule(s). To receive School-to-Career credit a student must receive 1.0 credit in Niles Senior High classes each semester.

Seminar Seminar period is specifically designed to help students improve their achievement. Students are not allowed to leave school during seminar and return. The only exception is prearranged doctor appointments that must be documented. If there is no documentation, a 1-1/2 hour detention will be assigned. Students must sign out and sign back in according to the attendance policy.

Student Planners The student planner is an integral part of the daily routine at Niles High School. Every student is provided with one planner and is expected to carry his/her planner during the school day. Students are only allowed to use their own planner. Replacement planners are available in the Principal’s Office for $10.

Technical/Electronic Devices No electronic communication devices (ECD) are to be used in the school building during the school day without the school’s permission. ECD’s used in the school building without authorization will be confiscated and turned in to the appropriate assistant principal. ECD’s (including cell phones) must be off and remain in the student’s locker during the school day. A pay telephone is available in the main hallway for student use before class, between classes, at lunchtime and after school. Telephones are to be used only when classes are not in session. When a student needs to use a telephone during class time it is considered an emergency. In these cases the telephone in the office is to be used.

Textbooks and Supplies It is the responsibility of every student to come to class with the proper supplies to be successful. This includes textbook, agenda planner, paper and writing implements. Required textbooks and the original planner are furnished free of charge to students. In many cases, an individual copy will be issued to each student by the teacher, while in other classes, a set of books or a variety of materials will be available to be shared with others. Students will be held responsible for all materials issued to them. If a book or agenda planner is lost during the school year, it will be necessary to make arrangements immediately to purchase another school issued replacement. At the close of the school year, books are to be returned and damage or wear beyond normal usage will be charged to the student. Materials and equipment loaned to the students, such as tools, safety glasses, locks and rulers are to be returned in good condition and any loss or damage will be charged to the student. Any student found with materials improperly checked out from the Senior High Library or taken from a classroom is subject to disciplinary action.

Transfer Credit and Graduation Requirement Transfer students will have their official transcripts evaluated by the guidance department and administration. At the conclusion of the evaluation process, a credit status report will be issued. Credit will be accepted from all public and nonpublic high schools registered and accredited by the state in which they operate. For credits from non-registered and non-accredited schools to be accepted the student must 1) present a course description and a list of the course objectives attained 2) validate the learning through the competency testing procedure. The last semester before graduation must be spent at Niles High School. During that semester the student must take maximum number of credits per semester and fulfill the graduation requirements specified for that graduating class. A maximum of 2.5 make up credits taken off campus is permitted and 29.5 credits are required to participate in the commencement ceremony.

Transportation Bus Procedures Permission from home and school is necessary for the following: 1. Getting off the bus at other than the regularly assigned bus stop. 2.

Written requests are to be submitted to the attendance office before school or during lunch period.

Student Arrival/Departure Prior to 7:00 a.m. students must enter the building from the student parking lot entrance or the main entrance on Eagle Street, and are restricted to the cafeteria and adjacent hallways. Students who have detention or permission to be outside the restricted area will go directly to that room or area, and must be accompanied by a staff member. Students will not be permitted to loiter in the halls or access their lockers before 7:00 a.m.

Student Drop-Off/Pick-Up Areas Parents are asked to drop-off and pick-up students at the Main Entrance on Eagle Street. When traffic becomes heavy or back-ups occur, students may also be dropped off/picked up in the student parking lot along Eagle Street. Drivers are asked to enter the west entrance of the student lot, turn right along Eagle Street, and exit onto Eagle Street by the baseball field. Parents may also drop-off and pick-up students along 14th Street. Parents and guests should not circle through the student parking lot to drop-off or pick-up students at the parking lot doors.

PART II

ATTENDANCE Policy

Student attendance is a vital factor in academic achievement. Every class period is important. Regular and punctual attendance of students is expected, encouraged and enforced. Students should anticipate an adverse affect on their grade and enrollment status for excessive absences. Compulsory school attendance ends at age sixteen (16). We believe that the student who is over sixteen and in school is seriously seeking an education. When a student sixteen (16) or older demonstrates this is not the case, the student may be dropped from the regular school program by the administration until it is evident that the student is willing and capable of seriously pursuing an education. To participate in an after school extracurricular or athletic event a student must have been in attendance for the entire day unless excused for another school function, pre-approved by a school administrator, or signed out by a parent with administrative approval. All absences from a class shall be counted except those for school sponsored/sanctioned activities or approved extenuated absences.

Procedure An excused absence from school or class is an absence where the parent or guardian properly completed the required parental contact with the school. An excuse note on the day of return is proper parental contact. Students who have been absent are to bring an excuse note to the first class period upon their return to school. Failure to bring an excuse note will result in an unexcused absence. If a student arrives after the tardy period, (the first five minutes of a class period), he or she will be 18

considered absent and must report to the attendance secretary to sign in and receive an admit. For the first block of the day, the student is allowed a ten-minute tardy period. Students who leave school during the school day must sign out in the Attendance Office. On their return to school, the student must bring an excuse note to their first class period or, if they return the same day, to the attendance secretary. The student will receive an unexcused absence without an excuse note. Students who miss more than five minutes of class are considered absent and must bring an admit to this class period the next meeting time. Unexcused absences will result in a 30-minute detention, to be served after school.

Truancy A student shall be considered truant each day or part of the day s/he is inexcusably absent from his/her assigned location. Absence is defined as no presence in the assigned location any time beyond the tardiness limit. Truancy demonstrates a deliberate disregard for the educational program and is considered as a serious matter. Administrative action taken will be as follows: 1. No credit will be recorded for work missed as a result of truancy. 2. A record of truancy will be entered in the student’s record file. 3. A parent conference may be held. A student shall be considered “habitual truant” when, in spite of warnings and/or his/her parent’s efforts to ensure attendance, s/he has accumulated twenty (20) truancies during a school year. The disciplining of truant students shall be in accord with Board policies and due process, as defined in Policy 5611 and the Student Code of Conduct.

Extenuated Absences Absences beyond the control of the student will be considered for extenuated absence status. Extenuated absence status removes the absence from affecting the participation grade or from a hearing for removal from school. Students are required to make up all work missed during an extenuated absence. When a student wants an absence to be extenuated he/she must apply to the appropriate assistant principal. Vacations are excluded from this, unless mitigating circ*mstances exist. The assistant principal prior to the vacation will determine these circ*mstances. Each case will be decided on its own merit. Appropriate documentation, provided by the student upon return to school is central to determining what is or is not an extenuating absence. When a prolonged absence is anticipated because of medical reasons, students should apply to the principal for homebound status. With the proper documentation the following absences will be considered for extenuated absence status: 1. Court appearance 2. Medical reasons 3. Death in family 4. Emergency

Excessive Absences And Grade Status Excessive absences will affect a student’s grade and ability to pass a class. Attendance/participation may constitute a percentage of the marking period grade. All absences except extenuated and school function absences could be considered part of the attendance/participation grade.

Make Up Assignments/Tests Responsibility for making up work for an excused absence rests with the student. Make up work must be submitted to instructional staff within the equal number of days absent, plus one, but not to exceed ten school days. This does not include pre-arranged absences including vacations and field trips. In these cases, all work must be completed upon student’s return. An unexcused absence/OSS will result in no credit for work missed. Instructional staff has the option to waive this policy. Homework assignments can be requested through the Guidance Office for a student missing three (3) days or longer. Once homework assignments are provided through this manner, students are expected to have assignments completed upon return.

Pre-arranged Absence Slip A pre-arranged absence request must be obtained from the attendance office and must be accompanied by a written note from the parent. The student is expected to complete all of the work that is missed on the day the student returns. Requests for pre-arranged absences should be made three days in advance to give the teachers adequate time to prepare the assignments. 19

Tardy Policy 1. Tardiness defined: A student is considered tardy when not in the appropriate classroom when the tardy bell rings. 2. When the student is more than five minutes late to blocks 3 through 8, the teacher is to mark the student as absent. When the student is more than ten minutes late to blocks 1 and 2, the teacher is to mark the student as absent. 3.

Repeated skipping of detention will result in ISR/OSS. 4. Excessive tardiness will not be tolerated and will result in parent contact.

PART III

STUDENT BEHAVIOR

District Code of Conduct This code has as its purpose the defining of categories of misconduct and potential consequences as sanctioned by the Niles Community Schools Board of Education. All behaviors have consequences whether or not they are the result of carefully thought out decisions. It is each student’s responsibility to read and understand the code. The high school staff and administration is charged with implementing consequences for misbehavior that will help change a student’s behavior and provide a safe and secure learning environment. The consequences listed in the code are general guidelines. Based upon knowledge of the facts and concepts of effective/progressive discipline, administrators have the authority to implement consequences that, in their opinion, are most appropriate. These consequences may include but are not limited to detentions, suspensions, behavior contracts, school or community service, expulsions, etc.

Non-negotiables The following behaviors are considered unacceptable by Niles Community Schools and will result in suspension and an administrative hearing. The administrative hearing panel will be composed of three district administrators. The student and his/her parents will be informed of the time, place, and purpose of the hearing. At the hearing, all parties will present information pertinent to the case. School officials and the student may invite other individuals to participate in the hearing. After the panel has heard all the parties, they will excuse the student and parents to determine the appropriate disciplinary action. If expulsion is recommended, the recommendation will be forwarded to the board of education. The panel will also recommend conditions for re-admittance to the Niles Community Schools. The behaviors listed below apply to actions on school property and school sponsored activities. 1. Any purposeful action toward another student that results in serious and observable injury requiring medical attention. 2. Use or possession of a weapon, explosive, look-alike weapon, or anything that is used as a weapon. 3. Possession of any drug or look-alike drug (includes alcohol and tobacco). 4. Use, or being under the influence, of drugs or alcohol. 5. Intentionally causing, or attempting to cause, physical harm to any school staff or school representative through force or violence. 6.

The signatures should be witnessed. Additionally, the student can constructively waive the hearing by simply not availing himself/herself of the opportunity for it, but such waiver cannot be construed before the passage of a considerable period of time, since it operates to close off the student’s rights. MISSION STATEMENT The Athletic Handbook is a resource for High School athletes and their parents, outlining the policies and conduct expectations associated with Viking Athletics. It is the goal of the athletic department that our athletes are as successful in the classroom as they are on the field. Our athletes are role models not only for younger athletes, but also in the community at large. The image of “class” that Viking Athletics strives to always maintain in the face of victory or defeat, requires that our athletes display good sportsmanship, good manners and comply with and support the rules and regulations contained in this Handbook. Through athletics, young adults are helped to become responsible citizens. By following the tenants set forth in this manual, the ideals personified through athletics will become a part of the student athlete’s personality and character. Every student in attendance at Niles Community School has the opportunity to be a part of the athletic program. Athletics are a privilege and bring with them benefits as well as obligations and responsibilities. Viking student athletes shall adhere to the standards established by the Michigan High School Athletic Association. With any participation in athletics there is a certain inherent risk of injury, be they minor or serious. Prior to participation, student athletes’ and parents/guardians must analyze and weigh this risk in relation to the many benefits of participation. In an effort to eliminate or minimize the risk of injury, the Athletic Department at both the Middle and High School levels will utilize the following safeguards: a The Athletic Department will maintain a continuing education program for coaches to learn the most up-to-date techniques and skills to be taught in their sport. b The coaching staff for each sport for each season will instruct all student athletes about the dangers of participation in the particular sport. c The Athletic Department will maintain safe structural and mechanically sound equipment and playing surfaces 26

APPENDIX C PHILOSOPHY The focus of the athletic program is on doing what is best for kids. Athletics are an integral part of the total education program. Not only are athletics an extension of the classroom, but also they serve as a laboratory for life’s lessons and learning. Every student athlete should enjoy a positive experience in the program. Interscholastic athletics are provided to promote the following goals: ¾ Teamwork and cooperation ¾ Good health and physical fitness habits ¾ Good sportsmanship ¾ Moral development ¾ Socialization ¾ Emotional maturity ¾ School spirit Winning records or team accolades do not solely drive the success of our athletic program. A successful Viking Athletic program means being competitive and achieving the educational objectives of Niles Community Schools. The program allows, and encourages, each participant to reach his/ her maximum educational and athletic potential in addition to building leadership skills and strong character traits.

The Administrative Committee will then determine the appropriate consequence. Appeal: All appeals must be presented in writing to the Principal or Athletic Director within 5 days of the notification to the parents of the offense and the penalty. All appeals will be heard by an Appeals Committee appointed by the Superintendent or Designee.

NOTE: In today’s climate even the time-honored custom of spreading of toilet paper (“Tee-Peeing”) at someone’s house has come under scrutiny. The act itself has often been passed off as harmless fun. However, other factors must be considered. Among these are intent and what else occurs beyond the spreading of toilet tissue (i.e. do bushes get trampled, is paint or shaving cream involved, are cellophane and shredded paper used, is reckless driving and disorderly behavior occurring?). It is very easy for such activity to be perceived as hazing or harassment. Beyond that, it may be seen as trespassing, may also involve a city curfew violation and may result in intentional or unintentional property damage. Tolerance of these behaviors is not what it once was. These practices have “run their course”. Therefore, it is not appropriate for student-athletes to engage in “Tee-Pee-ing” anyone’s home or property. For these reasons the school reserves the right to punish such behavior as “inappropriate” or “illegal” under the Viking Code.

ATHLETIC POLICY REGARDING STUDENT HAZING AND HARASSMENT Hazing and harassment are behaviors, by one person towards another, which are insulting, intimidating, humiliating, malicious, degrading or offensive; it creates negative and uncomfortable feelings for the person, or group of persons to whom they are directed. The recipient may feel anything from a discomfort or embarrassment in the presence of the person or group of people displaying the behavior to a feeling of terror or even fear for their safety. Hazing and harassment can take many forms whether physical, verbal, sexual or emotional, and can involve a combination of these elements. Sexual hazing or harassment is a form of sexual discrimination under both Title VII of the Civil Rights Act and Title IX of the Educational Amendments Act of 1972. Hazing, or initiation rights, which single a person or group of people out and subject them to embarrassing, degrading, or secretive behavior will almost always be viewed as harassment. It is the policy of The Athletic Department to maintain a learning and working environment that is free from sexual hazing and harassment. Athletes shall not engage in behavior that, even in the broadest sense, might be considered ‘hazing”. It is not just the conduct itself, which may make certain behavior inappropriate, but the context or way in which it is delivered, or its repetitive nature. Allegations of emotional, physical or sexual abuse or neglect involving a minor must be reported to an available administrator. Once a complaint of harassment or abuse is made, the school will conduct a thorough investigation and respond appropriately. Coaches must be alert to society’s changing perceptions about the appropriate use of power. With coaching comes power, with power comes vulnerability. Codes of behavior for players and coaches must be developed and communicated in a manner that guides and governs “the words and actions” of all participants during their sport season. The coach is the most influential participant in preventing harassment, hazing and abuse during his/her coaching season. The coach must use every opportunity to reinforce the principle of appropriate behavior by being a role model and communicating with athletes daily in practice, during pre-competition preparation, during competition and in post-competition feedback sessions. The coach has a responsibility to behave in a respectful 32

manner. The coach is an important leader who must reinforce an environment free of abuse, hazing and harassing behaviors of all student athletes and coaches alike. The value and safety of children and youth must be reflected in the standards of the entire athletic department.

4th Offense Life

SCHOOL CONDUCT Habitual misconduct in school, cheating, fighting, theft, detentions, miscellaneous trouble, immoral behavior and all rules as promulgated/understood to be a part of a school student’s life, and/ or infractions that lead to the following school punishment: Any suspension from school

Mandatory meeting with coach to discuss the behavior. Coach reports to AD.

NOTE: Subsequent suspensions from school may result in additional athletic sanction (particularly for serious habitual misconduct as described above) Among these could be suspension from contests, practices and loss of awards. IN SUCH CASES WHERE STUDENTS ARE SUSPENDED FROM SCHOOL, THEY MAY NOT PARTICIPATE AND CANNOT ATTEND EVENTS (WHICH INCLUDES PRACTICE) UNTIL ALL I.S.R and O.S.S. IS SERVED/COMPLETED.

SECOND/THIRD VIOLATION OF VIKING CODE In the event that a student-athlete violates the Viking Code for a second time, in his/her career, or school year, in the same category, that second offense shall apply. (Likewise third offense and so on.) In the event the student athlete’s Viking Code violation is in a different category than the first (or second), the Athletic Director shall weigh the circ*mstances, and evaluate the case in a manner consistent with the seriousness of the two offenses. The Athletic Director will then render a consequence commensurate with those circ*mstances.

SECTION 5- PARTIES If a student-athlete attends a party where alcohol or drugs are being illegally dispensed, the student-athlete must leave the party and report their attendance to a coach or administrator before the end of the next school day. If the party occurs over the summer, the student-athlete has 72 hours to report to any school official or coach. leaving a detailed voice mail or e-mail is considered a report. Following these procedures exactly exonerates the innocent athlete assuming that the athlete is not frequently showing up at these parties. However, a student- athlete failing to report attendance will be judged to have been in possession unless it can be reasonably proven that consumption occurred. LEAVING MEANS LEAVING IMMEDIATELY

SECTION 6- MATRICULATION AND TRANSFERS TRANSFER/INCOMING STUDENT WITH PREVIOUS FELONY AND/OR SANCTIONS An incoming 7th grader or freshman that has committed a felony violation before entering Ring Lardner or NHS (or who committed a felony at his last school, if not in the system) must apply for athletic eligibility through the Administrative Committee. Transfer students from out of the Niles Community Schools system at the middle school or high school level will have any sanctions imposed upon them at their previous school of attendance carried over to the Niles Community Schools system. Also, any transfer student who had a previous felony conviction must apply for athletic eligibility through the Administrative Committee. This would happen upon completion of any “carry over” penalty

SECTION 7 - THE APPEALS PROCESS Be it understood that this Viking Code of conduct is in effect twenty-four (24) hours a day, twelve (12) months a year. Furthermore, violations of the Viking Code are cumulative from year to year throughout the students’ middle school or high school career. Following notification that a penalty will be imposed for a violation of the Viking Code, the student or their parents may request a hearing before the Appeals Committee. The Appeals Committee may consider the guilt or innocence of the student with regard to their involvement in the violation. The Appeals Committee should not consider changes in the assigned penalties unless the evidence (facts) or extenuating circ*mstances require otherwise. Requests for hearings must be made in writing to the Principal within five (5) days of notification of suspension.

SECTION 8-VIKING CODE PARAMETERS, PROTOCOL AND FURTHER DEFINITION Never will a penalty be “rounded up” to a higher number than the actual mathematical computation. Suspensions are to begin immediately subsequent to the offense. Any violation that causes a loss of 50% or more of the season carries also an automatic loss of letter and school individual awards for that season. This would include school sponsored awards or awards which require nomination by the school. Any suspension in which the entire percentage cannot be fulfilled in that sport season shall be continued into the athlete’s next sport season. Drug and Alcohol Assessment programs must be mutually approved by the school and parents, and a certificate of completion must be sent to the designated person at the school and also a summary of any education or rehab courses the assessment recommends. If a Viking Code or apparent Viking Code violation occurs with reasonable proof, and the individual refuses to cooperate with the investigation by school authorities, he/she may be suspended from the sport until cooperation is obtained or until the investigation is complete, at which time further penalties may be imposed at the discretion of the Administrative Committee. A season is defined as that next season in which the athlete has historically participated. An athlete who chooses to go out for a different sport must complete that season if the penalty is to apply. A student may not participate (except practice if allowed by the Viking Code) during the appeals process. He/she has already been judged to have violated the Viking Code and therefore the penalty begins immediately upon his/her hearing with the Administrative Committee. Appeals will be handled expeditiously. In the event there is an apparent offense, but it falls into an “uncovered” or “gray” area, then the Administrative Committee shall, after seeking any possible parallels or common and standard procedures in such cases, evaluate the evidence and administer a consequence commensurate with the offense. Self-reporting is defined as notifying a Coach, Athletic Director, or School Administrator on the next school day after the infraction. If over the summer, the student has 72 hours in which to reach a Coach, Athletic Director, or School Administrator. An athlete may self-report only one time (on the first offense of their career) in order to receive a lesser penalty. However, a student-athlete who is “clean” or without violation for two years, and who then commits a violation, may self-report with the understanding that the Athletic Director may consider a reduced penalty according to the motivation and sincerity of the self-report. Because we adhere strongly to the policy that a student-athlete is a representative of his school and community, all athletes are responsible to hold themselves to this Viking Code and to high standards of behavior, 365 days per year, while attending Ring Lardner or Niles High School. This Viking Code comes into effect when a student officially begins practice as a middle school student or as a freshman whichever comes first and continues until graduation. The policy has no jurisdiction over non-athletes or over athletes who renounce their eligibility to compete. Violations from middle school shall not be carried over to high school (with the possible exception of certain felonies). However, all high school violations shall be considered cumulative. Assessment refers to an evaluation by competent professionals who then submit a report to the designated school official. For purposes of computing penalties, the “season” shall consist of all the regular season games and tournaments plus the first MHSAA Tournament game for a high school athlete or a first game post-season tournament for a middle school athlete. 34

The powers vested in the Appeals Committee and the process of Appeal is defined under the section titled, The Appeals Process

SECTION 9- PARENT (FAN) DECORUM At a time when society is experiencing increased incidents of physical confrontations and unmanaged anger associated with youth sports, Ring Lardner Middle School and Niles High School wish to state their philosophical stance for keeping our athletes, coaches and fans safe; insisting on proper behavior and promoting our positive reputation as regards to sportsmanship. We recognize that the majority of our parents and fans set a behavioral example of the highest standard. However, the few who do not; force us to address these issues. In as much as certain standards of expected behavior for our coaches (Coaches Handbook), student-athletes (Viking Code), and regular students are subject to school rules at athletic events, it becomes incumbent upon us to set standards for the behavior of our adult fans and parents. Niles Community Schools will not condone or permit inappropriate parental (fan) behavior directed toward Niles staff or players, the opposing school and all its representatives or the game officials. Such behavior by parents (fans) can cause the school to suffer severe sanctions from the MHSAA /conference and is embarrassing to the school and community. Inappropriate behavior is embarrassing to the school and reflects poorly on our values as a community. Niles Community Schools supports the MHSAA/ conference rules and the emphasis on good sportsmanship. We embrace this fully by definition and in spirit of intent. Proper human courtesies, kindness and decorum must apply to all relationships and situations, and sports are no exception. High school and middle school sports exist to build character, allow students to express themselves through physical exertion and skills, and as entertainment. There is no place for poor behavior toward anyone. Parents (fans) need to understand certain facets of the structure of high school athletics and the relationships involved. Notably 1. There is no inherent right to participate. Coaches will only retain those players whose skills and attitudes meet the needs of the program, as defined by the coach. 2. Likewise, the coach alone is responsible for deciding who plays and how much. 3. By allowing one’s child or children to play sports, the parent is, in effect, turning the child over to that coach for that time period. The coach, as is naturally assumed, will instruct the child and keep the child safe within normally accepted standards. 4. Coaches are professionals and are operating within the best interests of all student-athletes in their charge. 5. It is inappropriate for a parent (fan) to confront a coach after a practice or event. Parents (fans) should wait until the next day and schedule a meeting with the coach. This will help avoid conflict at a potentially emotional time. If a parent (fan) cannot reach satisfactory resolve from the coach, he/she may then contact the Athletic Director. 6. Making derogatory comments about the officials, coaches, players of either team or other parents and fans at an athletic event is never acceptable. 7. Swearing in public at athletic events is never acceptable. 8. Coming to an athletic event intoxicated is not acceptable. 9. Being offensive in any other fashion is not acceptable. Parents fans) who violate any of the above standards of decorum risk sanctions by the Niles Community Schools including, but not limited to, the following: A. B. C. D. E.

A warning, verbal or written. Removal from the contest or premises. Banishment from attendance at athletic contests for a set period of time or even permanently. The severing of further contact with team personnel. Civil or legal action.

In conclusion, we commend those parents (fans) who have always exhibited exemplary behavior and have served as positive role models for our student-athletes. We encourage our parents (fans) to volunteer, to become involved with our teams, and to be supportive of the attempts of the entire community to educate our youth. By working together, we will establish Niles athletes as a “class” act.

We sincerely want to strive to make sportsmanship at Niles Community Schools an expectation, Where we let players play Coaches’ coach Officials officiate And let the fans be positive
