Academic Eligibility
In order for a pupil to participate in extra-curricular activities, the pupil shall achieve a grade point average of 2.0 with no more than two "Fs" and show maintenance of minimal progress towards meeting the high school graduation requirements prescribed by the governing board in each grading period preceding the quarter of participation in the extra-curricular activities.
The eligibility grading periods shall be the first quarter, first semester, third quarter, and second semester.
The grading periods shall be considered consecutive and uninterrupted. Therefore, the second-semester grade of the previous year shall be the basis for determining the first quarter eligibility for the following year.
NOTE: ATTENDANCE, SUBSTANCE ABUSE, BEHAVIOR, AND CLASSROOM CITIZENSHIP ELIGIBILITY CONSEQUENCES SHALL NOT CARRY OVER FROM JUNIOR HIGH TO HIGH SCHOOL.
9-12 Summer School Grades - Effect on Eligibility
Summer school grades shall be included to determine eligibility.
In calculating eligibility, a summer school grade will replace the grade of a "like" course taken previously.
Grades/units earned in summer school classes which do not replace grades earned previously in "like" courses will be averaged with grades from the previous grading period (semester in grades 9-12).
Summer school grades shall not impair a student's academic eligibility achieved in the previous grading period (semester in grades 9-12).
Students that have between a 1.5 GPA and a 1.99 GPA are eligible to appeal their ineligibility. If a student would like to appeal their eligibility they must meet with the school athletic director.
Sports Physical
All athletes must complete a sports physical in order to be cleared to participate in their sport/s.
A sport physical must be completed by a doctor (does not have to be your primary doctor) in order to be valid.
Physicals are based off of the school year and not the calendar year (make sure the physical is dated after June 10th of the school year that the physical is for).
Every year over the summer students will have the opportunity to do their sports physicals at one of the local high schools. Please contact Johansen for information on when these physicals take place (all proceeds from these physicals go directly back to the high school athletics programs).
