ELIGIBILITY: A minimum grading standard is required for participation in all extra-curricular activities. To be eligible, a student must maintain at least a 2.0 grade point average with no more than one F. If this requirement is not met at the beginning of each grading period, the student is ineligible for the entire grading period. Eligibility can be regained at the next report card if grades improve enough to meet the standard.
