    Bussing Schedule
    • Bussing is provided to the games ONLY.  Student athletes must have a parent/guardian transport them home from the game. The only exception to this is if the basketball game is scheduled to be played in Frenchtown or Lolo.  If the game is in Frenchtown or Lolo, Beach Transportation bus will stay on site and students will have the option to be transported back to Meadow Hill after the game(s) are complete. 
     
    Paperwork
     
    Students will be required to turn in the following three items by Monday, Oct. 14th, before practice begins.

    Copies of the above forms can be found in the Meadow Hill office as well as on the Meadow Hill website under the Activities page, or by clicking the links above.  If you turned these forms in to play a 2024 fall sport, we do not need another copy of either. The activity fee is the only requirement.

     
    Academic Eligibility
    • No student athlete may have an “F” in any subject during a five-week athletic season.
    • If a student receives a major ODR during the season, the athlete will sit during the next game/competition. 
    • Grade checks will occur on the Friday of each season to determine eligibility. Any student athlete who has an “F” in any subject, will be ineligible for the following 5 school days. Weekly grade checks will occur on Friday. If the student has raised their failing grades, the athlete will regain eligibility for the following week. 
      • Incomplete (I) may be given additional consideration for extenuating circumstances.
      • During the 5 days of ineligibility, the student/athlete may practice.
    • A student athlete who is in a prescribed special education class or 504 program and is not meeting academic eligibility will have grades reviewed to ensure all accommodations are being implemented. This review will be comprised of an administrator, parents, a special education teacher and the teacher from the class the student is failing.
