EXTRA-CURRICULAR ACADEMIC ELIGIBILITY POLICY

ACADEMICS

Grades will be checked at the end of each grade reporting period, both Progress and Quarter reports. A student whose academic average is below 2.0 and/or has earned an ‘F’ in any course will be ineligible for the succeeding athletic period. A student who loses eligibility may continue to practice with the group but may not participate in any contest/performance. Suspension or termination of the participation privilege is within the sole discretion of the school administration.

CITIZENSHIP

At any point during a season, a report can be made to the administrator and/or program leader regarding a student’s behavior choices that lead to a decline in citizenship. However, for a student to become ineligible due to citizenship, a written progress report must be issued to the student at the end of the Progress or Grading quarter.  

An exception to this may be a policy in which a teacher automatically assigns a “U” in citizenship to anyone caught cheating, and/or a student is suspended (in or out of school) by the administration. Prior notification of poor behavior must be provided to parents, except when a single behavior or incident is deemed egregious by the teacher/coach, program leader, and administration. Suspension or termination of the participation privilege is within the sole discretion of the school administration.
