Welcome



The administration and teachers wish to help our students reach their higher individual potential. We encourage our students to take their studies seriously, take part in student activities, and accept the responsibilities and obligations of good school citizenship.

Pupil Eligibility Policy (P.E.P.)

Philosophy: The purpose of P.E.P. is to provide a means to assist students in accepting the responsibility to work to the best of their ability and to demonstrate proper citizenship. Therefore, an eligibility system has been designed to motivate students in their educational endeavors. We believe that extracurricular activities and the athletics are an important aspect of our school. The privilege to participate, however, is dependent upon the student making an effort in school and demonstrating proper citizenship.

Criteria:

Eligibility pertains to all:

  • extra curricular activities
  • interscholastic activities
  • non-classroom activities (dances, competitions, trips, etc.)

Students shall maintain grades commensurate with their ability. Students who are not making adequate effort should be referred to the assistant superintendent.

Students failing one or more subjects with a grade average of less than 65 at the end of each 3-week interim period and each 6 week marking period will automatically be placed on the ineligible list.

One or more failures will result in a 5 day probation period. During this 5 day period the student may participate in practices, rehearsals, etc... but may not participate in any event(s).

At the end of this 5 day period the student must pick up the "Sign Off Sheet" from the office and be signed off by the teacher(s) in the failing subject(s). If a student does not do passing work in this 5 day period, he/she cannot be signed off and will be removed from the sport or activity until such time as all work is brought up to a passing or satisfactory level. Students will also forfeit off campus lunch privileges.

A student on the 5 day probation period will not be allowed out of study hall unless he/she is to receive assistance from the teacher(s) in the failing subject(s). Teachers, advisors, and coaches are informed to deal with the individual student in an attempt to improve their effort.
