Athletic and Activities Participation Expectations

The promotion of character building and supplementation to education are the best reasons for extracurricular programs. To this end, Cologne Academy extracurriculars are an integral part of our educational program and are considered one dimension of the overall product.  Participation in extracurricular activities is a privilege. Cologne Academy holds all participants accountable for meeting a standard of expectations.  All participants must meet expectations in academics, behavior, and attendance to participate.  The following is a brief overview of the academic and behavior expectations and procedures.  Please review the Athletics-Activities Program Handbook for details on all expectations.

Student Academic Expectations

Students need to maintain satisfactory or acceptable academic achievement in all classes. Satisfactory achievement is defined as:

  • Grades of a C or higher

  • Missing assignments overdue by more than one week will require an action plan initiated by the student with the course instructor.

School Behavior Expectations

Students need to conduct themselves in an appropriate manner in all classes. Any student suspended from school or class may be ineligible to participate in an activity until the situation has been resolved to the satisfaction of the Principal and/or Athletic/Activities Director.

  • If neither of these redirections are successful, the student will be sent to the STAR Room for the remainder of the class period.

  • The following behaviors will result in an immediate STAR Room referral with no warnings:

    • Swearing
