Eligibility for Athletic Teams
In order to try out for any athletic team, including Cheer, students must meet these Academic and Conduct requirements:

Academic Eligibility – Students must be academically eligible to represent a school in any athletic activity.
Students receiving 2 or more “F’s” on a report card will be academically ineligible to participate in activities
the following 9 weeks. Academic eligibility will carry over from the 4th grading period to the 1st grading period
of the next school year. Rising 6th grade students start the school year with a “clean slate”, however the student
can be declared ineligible to participate in the 9 weeks following a marking period if criteria are not met.

Conduct Eligibility – A student is determined to be conduct ineligible as determined by 2 or more “U”s in Conduct
for the preceding 9-week marking period. The student is ineligible to participate in the following 9-weeks marking
period. Conduct eligibility will not carry over from the 4th grading period to the 1st grading period of the next school year.
 The year starts with a “clean slate”; however, the student is ineligible to participate in the 9 weeks following a marking period
 if criteria are not met. A conduct ineligible student may meet eligibility requirements at the interim and be eligible to try out
for a sport in the next season if the proper criterion is met. 

Attendance Eligibility - Students must be present ½ day to participate in or attend any after-school activities,
including athletics games, practices and tryouts.
