Extracurricular Activities Academic Requirements

  1. These guidelines apply to all middle and high school extracurricular and athletic activities in which students participate, with the exception of junior prom and senior ball.
     
  2. It is the responsibility of teachers to provide an evaluation of students commencing with the third full week of school for the first and second semesters. Subsequently, every two weeks, a formal report will be completed by all teachers to identify students who are failing either for the quarter and/or the bi-weekly reporting period. All teacher grades should be entered and completed by the close of school (2:15 p.m.) on Wednesday of the reporting week. The principal or designee(s) will tabulate the information and are responsible for notifying respective teachers and/or coaches.
     

    1. A student failing two or more courses when grades are submitted during the reporting week will become ineligible for one week (Monday - Sunday). While ineligible, the student must practice and attend events and/or contests.

      1. During the week of ineligibility, the student must meet with his or her teacher(s) to discuss the areas(s) in which he or she needs to improve and attend extra help sessions as directed by the student’s teacher(s).

      2. On the Friday of the week of ineligibility, an administrator or his or her designee will run the updated grade report for that week only.

        1. If the student is no longer failing two or more courses, he or she shall be fully reinstated on Monday.
           

        2. If the student is still failing at least two courses, the student will remain ineligible to participate in events or contests for an additional week (Monday - Sunday).
           

    2. The parent or guardian shall be notified in writing (form letter) by the school that the student is ineligible, and the period of such ineligibility. The student shall be notified when he or she becomes eligible.
       

  3. Students who have been classified by the Committee on Special Education and who are failing two or more courses shall be subject to review by building administration.
     
  4. Appeal process: There shall be an appeal process which, if exercised, shall commence with the student discussing/clarifying the failures with his or her teacher(s). If, after such discussion, the failure(s) continues to be in dispute, a student and his or her parent or guardian may request a meeting with the Director of Athletics and building administrator and, if necessary, the student’s teacher(s). If the dispute continues after this stage, the parent or guardian may appeal the decision to the Superintendent or his or her designee.
     
  5. It shall be the responsibility of the school to provide a copy of these guidelines to all students desiring to participate in any school activity. It shall be the responsibility of the parent or guardian and the student to review these regulations.
