Interscholastic Academic Athletic Eligibility

See Pacific Area Interscholastic Athletics Program Handbook

All DoDEA Pacific students who take part in extracurricular activities must maintain a minimum of a 2.0 grade point average (GPA) with no more than one “F” in any subject. Students not meeting this standard are ineligible to participate. Ineligible students will be monitored on a weekly basis to re-establish eligibility. A student declared ineligible on the Tuesday grade check will be ineligible from Wednesday, 8:00 a.m., through the following Wednesday, 8:00 a.m. Teachers should make every effort to keep grades “current,” in order to accurately reflect student eligibility.

Students declared ineligible will remain eligible for practice as long as an intervention program is established during the period of ineligibility.

Principals will ensure that intervention support services are provided and documented to students who are declared academically ineligible for one week or more. Intervention support services will be developed for those students who are academically at risk. These support services may include tutoring, before/after school study sessions, and/or peer tutoring. Coach will remove a student from a team when they are academically ineligible for three consecutive weeks.

At the beginning of the school year, a student is considered eligible, or not, based on his/her grades from the last semester of the previous year. Ninth graders entering high school are considered eligible and will be re-evaluated at the end of the first grading period.

The sponsor of each extra-curricular activity is responsible for informing students in his/her activity of the contents of this policy. Sponsors are also responsible for enforcing this policy when students are identified as ineligible

Students that quit an athletic team after the official league season has started will not be eligible to participate in another school-sponsored athletic program during that same season.
