IHS Athletic Code of Conduct
Islands High School's administration, coaches and staff believe that students who are selected for the privilege of membership on athletic teams should conduct themselves as responsible representatives of the school. Since athletic competition on our sports teams is a privilege and not a right, those who choose to participate will be expected to follow the Code of Conduct established by the administration and other specific rules established by respective coaches per their sport. As recognized representatives of our school, members are expected to exhibit appropriate behavior during the season or out of season, in uniform or out of uniform and on or off campus. The principal, assistant principals, athletic director and head coaches shall enforce all rules and regulations as described in the Code of Conduct of athletes.
- A student-athlete who commits the following offenses shall be disciplined. The discipline may include, but not limited to, suspension or permanent dismissal from the team.
- Use of tobacco
- Theft
- Fighting
- Acting in an unsportsmanlike manner when representing Islands High School
- Any act at school or away from school, which results in any discipline by the school administration
- Any act at school or away from school, which in the opinion of the coaches and administration, reflects in a negative manner on the school or athletic program.
- Islands High School will not condone bullying or hazing among students-athletes. Islands High School will treat bullying and hazing as it does intimidation and harassment. Students suspected or guilty of bullying or hazing will be immediately referred to the athletic administrator. A student-athlete or parent should report any concerns to the coach, athletic director or athletic administrator.
- Student-athletes are responsible for information contained in written or electronic transmission (email) and any information posted on public domain (internet, blogs, Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, and Twitter). Inappropriate, threatening or embarrassing information or pictures should not be posted. A violation of this rule may result in game suspensions or dismissal from the team.
- Cell phones and cameras may not be used inside a locker room for any purpose by a student-athlete. This means no texting, no calling and no pictures without permission of the coach.
