LEARNING PLATFORMS & ATHLETICS ELIGIBLITY

NYSED & NYSPHSAA have stated their approach for Hybrid & Distance learning models to accomodate students for Athletic participation. (see below for the official document).  In summary, to be considered a "bona fide" & eligible via either a Hybrid or Distance Learning/Remote approach...students meet the following criteria:

• Must be enrolled for the first 15 days of the semester 
• Be enrolled in 3 core courses via a Hybrid or Distance Learning model
• Have a regular attendance of 80 percent of the school time (personal illness exceptions fall under the parameters of school attendance policies)
• Must meet the mandates for Physical Education (enrolled in 1 course per semester...Athletics participation will not be substituted for PE credit) 

NYSPHSAA DOCUMENT on BONA FIDE STUDENTS for ATHLETICS

If a parent chooses to "home school" their child they are no longer considered "bona fide" and are ineligible to participate in athletics
