ACADEMIC STANDARDS AND PROCEDURES
Students on co-curricular activities who fail more than one course
in a marking period are declared ineligible and placed on academic
probation. This probation begins on the day the quarter failure
lists are produced.
•
Coaches or advisors will notify students who are placed on academic
probation immediately. Parents will also be notified. A student may
request a hearing with the Appeals Committee.
• A
student on academic probation may not participate in any contest,
meeting, or special event for a period of tow weeks. During this
two-week probation, students are encouraged to work hard to pull up
any and all failing averages. A student will pick up a reinstatement
form from the office.
•
Students may practice/participate in no more than 50% of scheduled
meetings during this probation period. The other 50% of the time
they should be seeking help, making up work, studying, doing
research, etc. as appropriate. This 50% practice is to be determined
by the coach.
• At
the conclusion of the two-week probation, a student may be taken off
probation if the student takes a reinstatement form to the teacher
or teachers of the courses he/she failed and, the teacher states
that they are now passing and in good standing.
• If
after two weeks the academic standard is not achieved, probation
continues until such time the standard is reached.
• All
faculty and committee members will receive a copy of the
ineligibility list.
• A
student on the ineligible list as a result of two or more failures
during the 4th quarter goes on a five-week probationary period in
the fall of the following year. If at the five-week mark, a student
on probation has more than one failure regardless
of the course, he/she will immediately go on the regular two-week
ineligible step (see #2). If he/she is in good academic standing,
he/she is taken off the probation list.
If one of the two courses failed is a quarter or semester course
that will not be rescheduled, the student will be placed on
five-week probation immediately. The student will follow the rule
pertaining to 4th quarter failures.
