5200 Eligibility for Participation in Activities & Athletics

SCHOLARSHIP

Activity participants in grades 7-12 must have maintained, up to the end of the preceding week in which the activity occurs, a passing grade in all subjects.

If students fail to meet the minimum scholastic standard (a passing grade in all subjects) at the end of the week, they will be placed on probation for the next one-week period. During probation, students may continue to participate

in activities. If students are failing to meet the minimum scholastic standard at the end of a probationary one-week period, they will be ineligible to participate during the next one-week period. The ineligibility period will begin on Monday and end on Sunday.

Students who have lost eligibility under this provision must achieve minimum scholastic standards in order to regain eligibility. Students regain eligibility with the first class of a new one-week period.

 

ORGANIZATIONS AND EVENTS AFFECTED BY POLICY

The student eligibility policy will affect all student activities which are competitive in nature, involving two or more

schools, and where recognition, ratings, or awards are given and winners determined.

 

EXCEPTIONS

Individual organizations may adopt higher standards for participation at the discretion of the instructor, with approval from the principal and director. These standards will be communicated in advance to the students and their parents. Documentation of this communication will be retained by the individual instructor.

 

DOCUMENTATION AND ADMINISTRATION OF THE POLICY

The principal or designee will develop a weekly grade check procedure in accordance with OSSAA regulations. The principal or designee will be responsible for collecting the data and informing the Director of Athletics, Director of Fine Arts, instructors, students and parents/guardians affected by this policy.

Students who participate in extracurricular activities must also maintain their eligibility in accordance with OSSAA regulations and the Department of Education of the State of Oklahoma.
