Grade Requirements for Athletics

Grade checks will be conducted weekly (usually on Mondays)

    1.  If a student has a failing grade, they will be “Pending”

              Pending: Student Athlete may participate in practice & games

    2.  If the student raises their grade before the next grade check, they will come off of pending.  If they still have a failing grade (in any class, even if it is a different class from the original failing class), they will be “Ineligible”.

              Ineligible: Student Athlete may attend practice, cannot attend away games, may attend home games, but can not participate.

    3.  If a Student Athlete has a combination of three occurrences during a season (pending or ineligible), then they will be dismissed from the team.

 

Grading Policy and Eligibility

Grade checks will occur once a week on a day each school selects. All students must maintain a 2, 3, 4, or D and above in each class. 

First grade checks that a student has 1, 0, or F in any classes they are now in a pending status. The student may participate in practices and games. The student will be removed from Pending Status as soon as the Athletic Coordinator has been notified that the grade has improved.

Second grade checks that a student has a 1, 0, or F in any classes they are now ineligible. The student may attend practices, but the student may not attend away games and may only attend home games but will not participate. The ineligible status ends once the classroom teacher emails the athletic coordinator that the grade has improved. If a student improves a grade and is removed from pending or ineligible status but has a 1, 0, or F at a later grade check, they will go back to pending status.

The third time a student-athlete is deemed ineligible in any class during the season, they will be removed from the team per the district 3 strike rule. There are no refunds for fees or uniforms.
