Academic Eligibility and Progress
 

It is the policy of the Friend School Board that only students who are fully eligible scholastically will be permitted to represent the school in any capacity. All students who represent the school in academic or athletic competitions will be held to the same academic standards. Beginning the third Wednesday of each semester eligibility reports will be completed.
 

• Students must maintain a passing average of a C (69.5%) or higher, to be eligible to participate in extracurricular activities.
   

• In the event that a student has a D or F, the student will be placed on probation for one week. (Wednesday to Wednesday) The student may participate in activities if the grade has been brought to a C (69.5%) or higher. If the student has a grade below C in any class, the student becomes ineligible the next week.
   

• If students' grades improve during probation or ineligibility, they remain on the probation or ineligibility list until the following Wednesday. Your child's status does not change during an eligibility period.
   

• A student with an F or D grade at the end of a semester is ineligible to participate in school activities until the grade has been brought to a C or higher.
   

• A student who has not attended classes ninety percent of the time for the semester becomes ineligible.
   

• A Student must be in attendance at least half a day prior to an athletic event or activity.
