FISD-RMS Athletic Policy Highlights: Parental Removal Please contact me if you wish to remove your son from practice or game as a consequence for misbehavior at school or at home. We will discuss the situation and pursue the best course of action.
Discipline: Tough on classroom misbehavior. A ram athlete should not ever be assigned a lunch detention, C-Hall, ISS, or OSS. Playing time will be lost! Teacher/Coach communication is strong. We know what occurs in the classrooms. Athletes represent Ram Athletics.

Eligibility: F.A.T.E. UIL rules do not permit athletes to compete in contests if they fail one or more classes during a six weeks grading period. After 3 weeks, they may regain eligibility if they are passing ALL classes. (Not just the class or classes they failed.) Any athlete that falls into this category will be put on an academic growth plan and will be required to attend tutorials. If they do not regain eligibility or do not abide with the growth plan, they will be dismissed from the team.
