W.F. West High School Extracurricular Activity Code

If you choose to participate in school-sponsored activities such as, but not limited to: sports, cheerleading, link crew, ASB leadership, and other extracurricular organizations, you come under the overage of the Student Athletic Code. This code is in effect 24 hours a day while you are involved in the activity (from the first practice to the last scheduled event).

Consequences for your behavior are in addition to the normal school policies involving discipline. The following is taken from the Student Athletic Code. A complete copy is available in the office.

The unlawful use, possession, or consumption of tobacco, alcohol, or controlled substances (drugs) is prohibited.

Any student/athlete committing such acts during the sports season will be immediately suspended for the remainder of the sports season. If the offense occurs close to the end of the season, a student/athlete will face suspension into the next sports season in which he or she participates for a minimum of five weeks. If a student committed a training violation with two weeks remaining in the season, he or she would also be held out for the first three weeks of the next season in which they participate. A sports season starts with the official beginning of practice and ends upon completion of the last scheduled athletic event for which the student is eligible.

 

Under Washington State law, the possession, sale, and/or use of legend drugs including anabolic steroids is prohibited.

Legend drugs are defined as prescription drugs that are being used without a prescription. The penalty for the possession, sale, and/or use of legend drugs is suspension for one sports season for the first offense, a twelve-month period for the second offense, and permanently for the third offense.

 

Theft of, or malicious damage to property of the Chehalis School District, another school district, or property of a student at a time when such property is on school district premises is prohibited.

If you break this rule, you will be removed from participation for ten school days. A second offense will result in removal from participation for the remainder of the sports season.
