Quarter 4

Students who receive failing grades for two or more classes the 4th quarter marking period, but pass those courses for the year, will be ineligible for two weeks in August-when fall sports start; September-when co-curricular clubs and activities start.

Students who fail one or more courses for the school year will be ineligible for two weeks (August-when fall sports start; September-when co-curricular clubs and activities start).  Students can regain eligibility for the fall by retaking failed courses in an approved summer school program and receiving passing grades those courses. Requires teacher’s signature for all classes.  Forms to be turned into athletic office.

Incoming 9th grade students are exempt from fall ineligibility for the first five weeks.  Students have until the release of the first quarter report cards before they become ineligible.

Any student who is attending middle school and participating on a high school athletic team will fall under the Middle School Academic Eligibility Guideline, not those outlined in the High School Academic Eligibility Guideline.

The superintendent and/or principal will have the final authority to determine the eligibility for any student based on extenuating circumstances not covered under this guideline.
