No Pass No Play Policy
In order to participate in extracurricular activities, students must pass at least three out of five classes each semester. Eighth Street Middle School will produce an ineligibility list each semester. This list will show the grade, student's name, and period of ineligibility. Names of all students who fail to pass three out of five subjects must appear on the list even though some students may not have any desire to participate in extracurricular activities. The list shall be given to each coach and/or sponsor of any extracurricular activity prior to the initial meeting to ensure that ineligible students do not participate.
A student on the ineligibility list may remain in a class (example - band), but is ineligible to participate in any before or after school activities. The list must be retained in the school's file for five years.
A student is ineligible on the first day of the next semester if he or she has not passed five subjects the preceding semester. The student is eligible on the first day if he or she passed five subjects the preceding semester. A student may have the first 14 calendar days after the close of each semester to complete work and change an incomplete grade. A student is ineligible during these 14 days and cannot practice or play until he or she passes five subjects.
INELIGIBLE STUDENTS ARE PROHIBITED FROM PRACTICING, TRAVELING OR TRYING OUT FOR TEAM PROGRAMS.
