Probation and Suspension Guidelines for Athletics
The following is the policy regarding eligibility for athletics and extracurricular activities at Ave Maria Academy. Academics are always a priority at our school. A child must maintain specific academic standards to be eligible to participate in extra-curricular activities. Failure to maintain these standards can result in probation or suspension from these activities.
Suppose the student receives a "D" in one of the core classes (religion, math, reading, science, and social studies) or two "D’s" in his/her particular areas (Art, Music, Phys. Ed., Health, Computer, Handwriting, Language). In that case, he/she will be placed on a three-week probation period. During this time, the student may participate in extracurricular activities. At the end of the three-week probationary period, if the student has not raised their grade to a "C," they will be suspended from all practices, games, competitions, rehearsals, etc., until the nine weeks.
A student can be placed on probation or suspended from athletics or extra-curricular activities due to behavior problems. In particular, any student who violates the school's discipline policy is subject to suspension from the program at the discretion of the principal after consultation with the student’s parents. The principal will notify the specific coach in any case of a suspension from the sports program.
Grading Scale for grades 4-8:
A - 93-100
B - 85-92
C - 75-84
D - 70-74
E - Below 70
