All student athletic participants shall be in grades 6-8 (5th grade participants will be allowed if there are insufficient numbers, per the Athletic Director’s discretion). Students shall be doing passing work (D or above) in each school subject as specified by I.E.S.A. rules. The school shall certify compliance with this requirement. Passing work shall be checked weekly to govern eligibility for the following Monday through Saturday. The eligibility check shall be on Friday of each week. When school is not in session, then the eligibility check must be taken on the last day of student attendance that week. Grades are accumulative for the school’s 9 week grading period.
Participation in athletic programs should be considered a privilege, not a right. A student who is a discipline problem may be deemed ineligible for athletic participation at the discretion of the Superintendent/Principal.
