or lettered grades may be used at the discretion of the teacher and administration. 

Report cards will be sent home after each semester. 

Teachers are encouraged to discuss a student's progress with parents or guardian any time that it is deemed to be in the best interest of the student and/or the parents or guardian.

This school district shall follow the academic eligibility guidelines. Eligibility to participate in school activities will be determined on a weekly basis. 

Academic Eligibility: 

Any students in grades 6-12 who are failing two or more classes will be declared ineligible for the following school week (Monday through Sunday). This will be a cumulative grade point average throughout the semester, not just a quarter grade. Academically ineligible students will not be allowed to participate in activities with the team and will not travel with the team. Ineligible students will not participate in any school activities including, but not limited to dances, awards, prom, etc. This does not affect practice, only performances in front of the public.
