IMPORTANT GRADE CHECK DATES

 

Academic Eligibility Requirements
  

  •  In our daily 7-period schedule, student athletes must be passing 6 out of 7 classes to maintain WIAA athletic eligibility at grades checks.  By WIAA rule you have to be passing the minimum number of classes (6 classes) if you are only taking the minimum number of classes.  For example, if you are only taking 6 classes in a 7-period day you must pass all 6 classes at the grade check to be eligible.
  •  Athletes cannot be taking LESS THAN 6 CLASSES UNLESS they are a Senior on track to graduate. Those Seniors can take only 5 or 6 classes but MUST be passing ALL at the grade check.

It is critical, when registering or altering your class schedule, to understand this criteria in order to maintain eligibility OR to be even be able to participate.  CONTACT ATHLETIC DIRECTOR PRIOR to making changes if you are unclear.  Northshore requires student athletes to have a 2.0GPA with initial grade checks for the season and at the end of each semester.
There are many scenarios with Running Start and Alternative Schools.  Please contact Rich Klee, AD, if you have specific questions related to these situations.

Tech information regarding social media and athletics

The following is from Mason McHenry who is a math teacher at BHS along with being our former head Cross Country/Track Coach.  Mason was part of the University of Arizona athletic staff prior to moving to the northwest.  He has this perspective on social media from his time at the collegiate level:

As technology advances so does the way Students/Student-Athletes are able to brand themselves.  It wasn't until recently that the NCAA allowed Student-Athletes to promote themselves and use the image for their benefit, but even before that Students/Student-Athletes were held accountable for how they present themselves online.

At Northshore school district we have recently acquired and developing our social media presence in athletics.  Part of this presence is passing forward the proper manner of learning how to use social media correctly for not only our Student-Athletes but our students as well.

Every year numerous athletic scholarships are revoked for the misuse of social media by Student-Athletes, along with scholarships for students.  Even if you are reposting/liking/sharing posts that have negative connotations/hateful speech/racial slurs/slander/ect. Nothing is private to the eyes on social media.  What you might think is harmless or funny to a group of friends might not be in the interests of the institutions you are about to represent after your secondary education, athlete or not.  As we move forward with developing our social media presence, we are hoping to pass along better information on how to use social media for both our Students and Student/Athletes.

Never let a meme that you or your friend created cause you to lose your future so......
THINK BEFORE YOU POST

Grades:    

IF you have not completed an off campus contract do that NOW!  See Christy Tran in main office or find appropriate form in Final Forms.

IN SOME cases this will mean doing a
Canvas print of your Running Start grades.   

In other cases it will mean getting the registrar from your off campus school to send grade updates; If you are in WANIC please ask your instructor to send a grade status to her!

IT IS UP TO YOU to complete this grade check on dates stated and send it to Mr. Klee (rklee@nsd.org)   Failure to receive this will make you ineligible.


 

Optional Student Health Insurance 
As a service, the district provides information on an optional student accident/health insurance plan.  Although not the only provider of this coverage type, Meyers-Stevens & Toohey has been recommended by our Washington Schools Risk Management Pool.  This coverage plan is made available by many school districts across the state.  

If you have questions regarding the available plans, please call Myers-Stevens & Toohey at (800) 827-4695 or visit their website at www.myers-stevens.com

 FIGHTING FOR EQUITY AND RACIAL JUSTICE

 

As we look across our nation during this time of both pandemic and social unrest, the Athletic Directors of Northshore stand together fighting for Equity and Racial Justice. We all may not be starting this journey from the same place, but we stand together to make Northshore a safe and supportive environment for all students and families. During this challenging time, we promise to work together in this fight to diminish institutional barriers and promote racial and educational justice. We commit to making this a better place for every person employed by or served by our schools in the Northshore School District.

Seniors on track to graduate can take only 5 or 6 classes but MUST be passing ALL.
