Athletics & Student Organizations
We are very proud of the number of students that participate in athletics and extracurricular activities; we are also very proud of their records and their achievements. Participation in athletics and student organizations is a privilege that provides students with many rewards. When students choose to participate in athletics and extracurricular activities they represent themselves, their families, their student organization, their school, and their community. Students who choose to make this commitment must also assume certain responsibilities.
STUDENT RESPONSIBILITIES • Be a credit to parents, school, and community. • Exhibit good sportsmanship and proper respect in the arena of competition. • Abide by training rules and regulations established by coaches and sponsors. • Abide by the Code of Conduct in the Parent and Student Handbook. • Strive to achieve to the best of your abilities. • Abide by the Athletic Participation Agreement.
SUSPENSION POLICY Students who represent the school in athletics or student organizations will be suspended one week from their activity or sport for each day they are suspended from school for disciplinary action. For example, a student suspended two days will be suspended from activities for two weeks. The suspension from athletics and extracurricular activities will begin the day the student is suspended from school. Students are not allowed to participate with their team or attend any extracurricular activities during the suspension. These include but are not limited to athletic contests, dances, the prom, grad night, homecoming activities and other school events.
ATTENDANCE POLICY Students must be in school at least three periods to participate in athletics and extracurricular activities (including team practices).
ATHLETIC CONDUCT POLICY Students who participate in interscholastic athletics represent Bishop Kenny High School and are expected to conduct themselves in accordance with the Code of Conduct, as well as the rules and policies set forth by the Florida High School Athletic Association. Participation in interscholastic athletics is a privilege and should be regarded as such. Therefore student-athletes are expected to exhibit the qualities of integrity, respect and sportsmanship at all times. The Code of Conduct applies to the student-athlete as a representative of Bishop Kenny and includes: practice, travel, games, and pre-game and post-game conduct. Students who violate any part of the Code of Conduct or FHSAA policies while representing Bishop Kenny will be subject to disciplinary action through the Office of the Dean of Students, as well as penalties handed down by the FHSAA. Any misconduct by a student-athlete resulting in a fine by the FHSAA will be paid by the offending student or billed to his/her account. Any grievous offense could result in suspension from athletic participation by the dean of students.
