ELIGIBILITY & RULES-FOR PARENTS & STUDENTS
Let's Determine if You Qualify as an Active Scholar
Who is eligible for the Active Scholar perks?
GMSD students with all A’s and B’s (or all 3’s and 2’s) on their current report card
✅ = Eligibility requirement of all A's and B's (middle and high) or 2's and 3's on report card (elementary)
⭐ = Eligibility requirement of all A's (middle and high) or all 3's (elementary)
When can I use the Active Scholar perks?
Offers are valid for the current report card period. You can’t use old report cards, and perks may be used once per eligible student each grading cycle
Do I need a physical copy of my report card?
Most businesses will require a hard copy of your report card.
Can siblings and other family members use these perks?
No. Offers apply to the student whose grades are shown
How often can I use these perks?
Active Scholar perks may be used one time per eligible student, per report card cycle. Some businesses may also limit how many times their offer can be used — see each listing for details.
Being eligible once does not guarantee eligibility in future grading periods. Students must meet the Active Scholar grade requirements for the current report card cycle each time they want to use the perks.
