A. Academic Standards
1. Students in all co-curricular activities must either pass all courses they are enrolled in, or have a 2.00 grade point average during every marking period. Marking period means 1 st quarter, 2 nd quarter, 3 rd quarter, and 4 th quarter.
2. If a student is ineligible at the end of a nine week grading period, he/she will be ineligible for a minimum of 15 consecutive school days. He/she will be able to regain eligibility on the school day following the fifteenth day of suspension, provided he/she has made sufficient progress to comply with paragraph 1 above.
As per the student handbook:
An athlete who has 2 or more failures in any one given grading period is declared ineligible for inter-scholastic competition. That student cannot compete against any other school for a period of fifteen consecutive school days. He/She may practice but is not eligible to compete. After fifteen days, the coach shall check with the teacher who recorded failures to see if the athlete is doing passing work. IF NOT, the student continues to serve another fifteen day period of ineligibility until his/her grades are brought up above the passing level.
Quarter grades will be used for eligibility purposes.
B. School Attendance
1. Regular school attendance is an important factor in academic achievement.
a) A student must be in attendance in at least half of his/her scheduled classes in order to be eligible to participate in a practice, contest, or performance that day. Example exceptions to this rule include the following: absences which have been excused for a funeral, court appearance, school approved trips, documented medical appointments, or for other unusual circumstances as cleared in advance with the coach or advisor.
b) Any student who is truant for a class or study hall will be ineligible for their next scheduled contest, game, or performance.
