Activity Eligibility Policy

1. Bullet point 1 is from the Parent/Student Handbook which states: Students must maintain an average of 74% or better in every class. If a student has a grade below 74% in any class they will be considered ineligible until the following week’s report. Students cannot participate in practices, games, club meetings, club events or any related activity until the following week. Eligibility will be from Tuesday to Tuesday.

1. An eligibility report will be run weekly based off of the weekly submission of grades by teachers.

2. Teachers will work with administration to override ineligibility based upon grades. This will be done according to student effort, ability, and other circumstances on an individual student and teacher basis.

3. Eligibility will carry over for two weeks at the beginning of each quarter. Teachers will be able to adjust student eligibility on an individual basis.

a. ie. If quarter 1 ends on Friday October 19 and the student is eligible/ineligible at the end of the term that student will be eligible/ineligible until the end of the second week of school. In this case, due to the quarter break, the student will be eligible/ineligible until Tuesday November 13 when the new eligibility report is run.

4. Eligibility during Winterim can be determined based upon the amount of work completed on math and latin packets in conjunction with the weekly grade reports.

Students who receive a “first” suspension during their respective sport season due to behavior issues, which includes but is not limited to: disrespect, defiance or truancy, will not be allowed to participate in any activities during the suspension. If that same student receives a “second” suspension for any reason, they cannot participate in any activities for the remainder of that school year. If a student exhibits a pattern of misbehavior at any time during the year without requisite improvements, or is suspended for a safe school violation, that student will not be allowed to participate in APA athletics.

1. A student-athlete must meet attendance, behavioral, and other eligibility requirements established by the school and the league.
2. Grades will be recorded weekly (Tuesday morning) by teachers in Infinite Campus (IC) each week and will be checked weekly (Tuesday noon) by the Athletic Director in conjunction with the counselors and administration.
3. If the student-athlete fails to achieve 75% in any class at the time of a grade check, and there is no exception, they will be placed on academic probation during which time they must make an appointment to meet with their teacher and develop a plan to raise their grade. During this period of probation, they may not participate in any team practices or games.
4. When the student-athlete has made acceptable progress, as determined by their teacher, the teacher will change the grade on the Infinite Campus site. There will be no participation until this step is completed. The administration will then approve the student-athlete’s participation.
5. As soon as the teacher is satisfied with the student-athlete’s progress this change will be reflected on the eligibility spreadsheet. A member of the administration will then contact the Athletic Director and coaches and notify them of the student-athletes eligibility change.
6. Because there may be reasons for the ineligibility that are out of the student-athlete’s control, APA allows a “rolling” eligibility. These reasons may include a teacher’s illness, personal issues, etc. Therefore, as soon as a passing grade is recorded, the student-athlete may become immediately eligible without having to go through Step 5. If the grade is unacceptable, step 5 will be followed.
7. If a student-athlete is suspended a second time during any semester, they are ineligible for the remainder of the semester.
8. Middle School and Elementary School athletes have the same requirements, but because their grading is different, anytime a teacher feels a student is under-achieving, they should tell the Athletic Director and the coach.
9. Final determination of a student’s status will be made at the discretion of the Athletic Director, administration, counselors, and teachers.
10. Conversations from parents regarding academics and eligibility will only be discussed after an appointment is made via email communication with the Athletic Director.
11. Before a meeting is held with the Athletic Director, a clear agenda will be established. Some topics may require other parties be included in the conversation to include members of the administration.
