Coronado Attendance and Extracurricular Activity
Privileges Policy
CLARIFICATION -The Coronado Attendance and Extracurricular Activity Privileges Policy states that students with 15 or more unexcused class period absences during a nine week quarter will be ineligible to attend extracurricular activities for the following nine week quarter. This includes athletic events, plays, concerts and dances held at Coronado High School. This also includes Prom and Homecoming which are off campus events. This policy does NOT prohibit students from participating on athletic teams or participating in extracurricular activities.
Coronado High School expects students to attend all of their classes on a daily basis. Students who show a commitment to their academic studies by having consistent attendance will continue to have the privilege of attending extracurricular activities. However, students who do not attend classes regularly will no longer be allowed to attend Coronado High School activities.
• Students with 15 or more unexcused classroom period absences during a nine
week quarter will be ineligible to attend extracurricular activities for the following
nine-week quarter. This includes athletic events, plays, concerts and dances held
at Coronado High School. This also includes prom which is an off-campus event.
• Students who have 15 or more unexcused classroom period absences during the
fourth quarter of the year will be ineligible to attend extracurricular events during
the first quarter of the next year.
• The Coronado administration believes students should have the opportunity to
prove they have solved their attendance issues when the next academic year
begins. Therefore, students may regain eligibility if they have no unexcused
classroom period absences for the first six weeks of school.
• If Homecoming falls before the six week grace period ends, students may regain
eligibility for Homecoming if they have had no unexcused absences from the first
day of school until the Homecoming weekend.
• Likewise, in the spring students may regain eligibility in time for Prom if they
have no unexcused classroom period absences from the beginning of quarter four
until the prom date.
• Students who have 15 or more classroom period unexcused absences will be
placed on a not approved list and will not be allowed to attend events at Coronado
High School.
• Athletes are governed by CHSAA rules for eligibility and will continue to be
governed by those guidelines for participation. However, an athlete will be held
to the same rules for attending all other events.
• Students in music or drama classes, or who participate in extra-curricular events
such as Science Fair or Mock Trial may be a participant during an ineligible
quarter, but may not attend events in which they do not participate.
• All absences must be excused within the 48 hour guidelines set forth by the Board
of Education.
