Student Academic Eligibility Process

  1. Expectations are for each student to have a primary responsibility for his/her successful academic performance and achievement to the best of their ability. Athletic and extracurricular participation is a privilege and should not detract from academic achievement. The Student Eligibility Policy is intended to provide all students with an opportunity to maintain academic success.

The student is responsible for remaining in good scholastic standing by maintaining a passing average in all subjects.

  1. Procedures for Determining Eligibility:
    1. Every student will be evaluated each week the school is in session. Receipt of an “S” (satisfactory) or “U” (unsatisfactory) is based on whether or not the student is passing or showing significant academic improvement in each course in which the student is enrolled. A passing grade is 65 or above.
    2. On Thursday afternoon, a grade book report will be generated to identify students who are failing. Teachers can remove students from his or her failure list no later than Friday at 12:00 p.m.
    3. Any student who receives two “U”s in any single week becomes ineligible to attend or participate in all extracurricular activities and events during the following week from Sunday through Saturday. Students should continue to attend practice, but may not participate in contests, matches, shows, etc.
    4. Any student who receives a “U” in the same course for three consecutive weeks or more loses the privilege to participate in all extracurricular activities and events during the following week from Sunday through Saturday. Students should attend practice, but may not participate in contests, matches, shows, etc.

      Any student who becomes ineligible three (3) times under section “c” above and/or section “d” above will be required to attend after-school study hall for the remainder of the time the extra-curricular activity occurs or until significant academic improvements have been displayed by the student as deemed by the Principal or Assistant Principal in consultation with the student’s teacher(s).
    5. If the classroom teacher is absent on Friday and cannot evaluate the need to discontinue the student’s name on the failure list, the teacher will be able to alter the gradebook report as soon as the teacher returns to school.
    6. Communication (verbal, written or electronic) will be given to students and parents indicating the courses the student is failing as soon as Friday, but no later than the next scheduled contest. A progress report for each course a student is failing will also be provided.
