Student-Athlete Eligibility

Academic Eligibility

To be eligible to participate in activities and/or athletics, a student-athlete may not be failing two classes or its equivalent. In addition, a student-athlete must be passing at least six classes per marking period. Eligibility is examined weekly and will be determined on Friday at 4:00 PM. Ineligible student-athletes are not permitted to participate in any practice or contest, beginning the following Monday through the following Sunday, or until eligibility is approved by the Athletic Director. Only work evaluated and recorded by the teacher is factored into the Friday afternoon eligibility calculation. For example, if a student-athlete participates in an exam late in the day on a Thursday, it may or may not be evaluated to affect the eligibility calculation on Friday afternoon. If a student-athlete is declared ineligible at the end of a marking period or semester, then he/she is ineligible for a period of fifteen (15) school days.

If a student is absent on a school day, he/she may not participate in school events that day. A student must be in school by 8:45 a.m. to be considered eligible. Any student dismissed early, for a reason which is not compelling, may not participate in after school activities/sports that day. If the student has an unexcused absence on the day before a weekend the student may not participate in any school activities or athletics, the following day. Participation is also at the discretion of the Assistant Principal for Student Services.

On return, the student must present to the Student Services Office the L.C. Excuse for Absence form or parent note or a physician’s certificate.

Any student dismissed early for a reason, which is not compelling, may not participate in after school activities/sports that day. If it is a Friday, then Saturday activities/sports will be affected. The following guidelines have been established for early dismissal:
