ACADEMIC ELIGIBILITY POLICY

Students participating in extra-curricular activities will have their grades monitored every three weeks while in-season using dates established by administration.

On the Monday (or first day of the school week) following a three-week grade check, students will be notified if they had an F in any class.

• Students who have an F at any three-week grade cutoff are placed on one week of probation
• The probation period serves as a warning to students that they will become ineligible if they do not improve their grades. While on probation, students remain fully eligible for their extra-curricular activity.
• Students on probation will have until 3:30 on the Friday following their notification of probation to improve all grades to a passing level.

If a student does not receive, by the 3:30 Friday deadline, written notification from each of their teachers that they have improved all of their grades to a passing level, they will be ineligible for one week or one game (whichever is greater), beginning the following Monday.

• After serving this one week or one game (whichever is greater) of ineligibility, a student can regain eligibility as soon as all of their teachers have given written notification that they are passing all of their classes. Until all teachers have given written notification that the students is passing all of their classes, the student will remain ineligible.
• Ineligible students may practice but cannot participate in events.  
• Ineligible students will not miss any part of the school day to attend an athletic event that they are academically ineligible to participate in

Any student-athlete that has two or more “Fs” at the end of a quarter will be ineligible for 2 events or 2 weeks, whichever is greater, of their current or upcoming activity. (Note: Semester grades will be the grades considered for eligibility purposes at the end of the 2^nd and 4^th quarter)

• If a student makes up the credit from failed classes through summer school or ALC opportunities, they will regain eligibility

• The teaching staff has 48 hours from the time a student’s work is submitted to post any grade that may change the student’s eligibility status.

ATTENDANCE POLICY

A student is required to attend the full day of school in order to practice or participate in an event that day except in the following circumstances:

1. The absence is preceded by notification from the parent or guardian stating an accepted reason for the absence. Parents are encouraged to notify the school about the absence before the day of the student’s absence, but notification must happen no later than noon on the day of the absence
2. If the reason for the student's absence is illness, the student will not be permitted to participate in a practice or event on that day unless the student attends the last three periods of the day.
3. If an emergency or unique situation develops and an advisor or coach requests a review of a student's eligibility for a practice or event, an administrator may review the case and decide on eligibility.

Students who have been suspended from school will not be allowed to participate in events or practices during the suspension period. (This includes when a student is in A2S that day.)
