Fifth Grade Extra-Curricular Academic Eligibility
The following academic guidelines will apply to all fifth grade students who participate in
basketball or cheerleading during the 2016-2017 school year:
-
Students must maintain passing grades (D or above) in all subjects to be eligible
to participate in basketball and/or cheerleading.
-
Progress reports will be ran for participating students on Friday afternoons
following lunch. The names of players/cheerleaders who have an “F” in one or
more subjects will be reported to the Elementary Athletic Director.
-
On the Saturday after progress reports have been ran:
-
Ineligible players/cheerleaders WILL NOT be allowed to attend practices or participate in games the following week.
-
Academically ineligible players/cheerleaders WILL NOT be allowed to participate in practices or games until eligibility requirements are met.
NOTE: Ineligibility is served week to week, not game to game. For example, a player
who receives a failing grade in math on Friday, November 4th will be allowed to play on
Saturday, November 5th, but he/she cannot practice or play at the game the following
week. If that student has a passing grade on Friday, November 11th, they can begin
practicing/play the game the following Monday, November 14th. Any questions, please
contact BJ Best (Elementary Athletic Director) at [email protected].
