A. Students participating in interscholastic activities (including managers and statisticians) must maintain satisfactory Habits of Work grades in all subject areas.
B. Eligibility will be determined by the following procedures:
-
For the purposes of tryouts, all students are eligible. Once team is selected, students will be placed on a weekly eligibility check.
-
Teachers will determine the weekly eligibility of students participating in interscholastic activities based upon the student's Habits of Work for each week.
-
The athletic director will submit a list of participants by House to each teacher for the weekly ranking period in question.
-
The teacher will indicate on the list those students whose Habits of Work grades include a '1' or more than two '2's', and also inform the students they have done so.
-
The list will be given to the athletic director, who after compiling the information will notify the player, the player's parents, and the coach.
-
Any student declared ineligible on a weekly check will be ineligible until the next weekly review. Ineligibility will begin on Monday the following week and will run for a period of seven days.
-
