● Academic Ineligibility is a middle-level student with two or more consecutive weeks of failing grades on the weekly Wednesday activities eligibility grade check report. Students may practice but they cannot participate in competitions or travel. Academic Support Available: We understand that balancing academics and athletics can be challenging, and we are here to support our students every step of the way.  ● Teachers are available each morning starting at 7:30 a.m. to assist students with their academic work.
