offerings at any time. This one time opportunity allows students a chance to explore and engage an activity with a positive attitude. However, Middle School students participating in Upper School sports or activities must adhere to the Upper School afternoon program expectations. C. Attendance Policy We expect students to attend all activity/athletic commitments, such as meetings, practices and contests. Such is the expectation when committing to any team or group and is a significant element to the growth and success of both the individual and the team. A student must attend a majority of their classes during the day to participate in athletics and activities. A student must attend all daily classes in order to participate on competition days. Students who have excused absences may participate in the competition with valid and/or formal documentation. Any student seen by a physician must submit a note from the medical doctor to the athletic trainer stating the diagnosis, physical limitations and the date when the student may resume activity. Notes or phone calls from parents will not be accepted in place of a physician’s note. D. Sportsmanship Sportsmanship is a quality valued in both athletes and spectators at the Academy. Below are guidelines for the Code of Ethics and Conduct as defined by the New England Preparatory School Athletic Council (NEPSAC). We expect all Titans to adhere to them. 1. Treat others as you know they should be treated and as you wish them to treat you. 2. Treat officials and opponents with respect. 3. Accept without quarrel the final decision of any official. 4. Honor visiting teams and spectators as your guests and treat them as such. 5. Be gracious in victory and defeat. 6. Be as cooperative as you are competitive. 7. Remember that your actions on and off the field reflect on you and WMA as a school.
