Eligibility Policy
All activities, field trips, etc. are subject to eligibility standards. In addition to issuing academic letter grades at each quarter, every teacher will issue a citizenship grade. Students may not have more than one N “Needs Improvement” citizenship grade to participate in extra-curricular activities during the next quarter. This standard is in addition to the current standard of needing at least a 2.0 quarter/ semester GPA and having no “F’s”, “I”, or “NM”. Students accumulating 3 days of suspension are immediately ineligible for the next six weeks and Senior Activities. Students must have all fines and obligations cleared.
Classroom Citizenship Grade
Students will receive a citizenship grade every quarter from each of their classroom teachers. Students’ classroom citizenship grades depend on their behavior in the classroom. The grade of “Outstanding,” “Satisfactory,” or “Needs Improvement” will be based on the “Citizenship Guidelines” (see below). The citizenship grade for each class will be shown on the student’s report card, but not on the transcript or permanent records.
