Just a reminder that in order for a secondary student (grades 7-12) to be eligible to participate in extracurricular activities (athletics and fine arts), a student must be passing ALL classes with at least a 70%. According to the Extracurricular Handbook the following procedures are in place:

• A student who receives, at the end of any grading period (after the first nine weeks of the school year), a grade below 70 in any GPA class or below a passing grade in a dual-credit course may not participate in extracurricular activities for two school weeks. They may not be on the bench with the team, dress as a member of the team or travel with the team.  
• They will be allowed (and expected) to practice with the team during the period of ineligibility. 
• Ineligible students will be allowed to attend the event as a non-participating GPA student.  
• After the two-week period of ineligibility has passed, a student must be passing all classes to regain eligibility. If the student is failing one or more classes, the student shall remain ineligible on a week-to-week basis until such time as the student is passing all classes.
• If passing all classes, the student regains eligibility at the conclusion of two school weeks.
• A student may also lose extracurricular eligibility if placed on academic probation. The period of ineligibility is at the discretion of the Administration.

Grace and Waiting Period:  A seven calendar day grace and waiting period is always applicable after grading periods and periods of ineligibility. Example: A student is failing one or more classes at the End of Term 1, Friday, October 11^th. The student becomes ineligible for competition at 3:30pm on Friday, October 18^th. The student will regain eligibility on Friday, November 1^st at 3:30pm.
