Extra curricular activity policy (page  16 of Parent/pupil handbook):

Academic eligibility for participation in extracurricular activities (*see definition below) will be determined by the following:

1.  Any student who participates in extra-curricular activities must maintain a passing grade (68 +) in each subject.

2.  Grades will be checked at the end of the first three nine (9) week grading periods.  Any student who is found to be ineligible shall not participate, other than practice, in any extracurricular activity for a period of two (2) calendar weeks.  The day grade cards are distributed shall be counted as the first day of a student’s two (2) weeks of ineligibility.  If at the end of the two (2) calendar week period the ineligible student has a passing grade for the school year in the subject(s) in which he/she was failing, extracurricular participation may resume.  However, if the student has not obtained a passing grade for the school year, he/she will remain ineligible on a weekly basis until a passing grade for the school year is achieved.

3.  If a student fails to pass any subject for the year, he/she will be ineligible to participate in any fall extracurricular activities for two (2) calendar weeks beginning with the day of the first scheduled sanctioned game or activity of the following fall season.  This date shall be counted as the first day of a student’s two (2) weeks of ineligibility.  While the student is ineligible, he/she will not be allowed to travel or be in uniform for any               extracurricular activity. 

4.  Any student who participates in extracurricular activities is expected to maintain exemplary school citizenship.  Therefore, any student with five behavioral violations (refer to Student Code of Conduct, pp. 9, 10) in a school year shall be suspended from participation in extracurricular activity for the remainder of the school year.

5.  In addition, any student who owes a monetary debt to the school will be ineligible to participate in extra-curricular activities until such time as the debt is paid.  Examples of debts owed would be lunch charges, over-due or lost library books, lost or damaged textbooks, outstanding fund-raiser money, etc.

    *Extracurricular activity:  referring, designating, or pertaining to those phases of school activities not taught in the classroom, though functioning under the guidance of the faculty, as sports, clubs, marching band, field trips, dances, etc.
