ATTENDANCE 

Students involved on SMA athletic teams are required to attend a full day of classes prior to any team activity.

Students missing more than 10 minutes of class including zero period, are not allowed to compete/practice/take part in any team functions for the remainder of the day, including: attending any practices, competitions, team meetings or gatherings, team travel, team pictures or sitting on the team bench at a competition.  

Additionally, student-athletes must participate in physical education class activities in order to be eligible for athletic participation. Modifications to activity may be made with approval of the instructor to accommodate the student-athlete's limitations.  

Medical, dental and counseling appointments, funerals and family emergencies are the only accepted reasons for absence from class that will still allow a student to participate in athletic practices or competitions on the same day. 

Medical, dental or counseling appointments must be documented by a note from the provider or provider’s office and a photograph of the note emailed directly to the SMA Athletic Department at: 

athletic.medical.docs@smapdx.org

The note should include clearly the date and time of the appointment as well as the provider's name and be sent at least 12 hours after the appointment. All other absences seeking exception to this policy must be cleared a minimum of 24 hours in advance with the VP of Student Life.
