If improvement is not made in deficient subjects, then he/she is ineligible for the remainder of the quarter.

During probationary status, a student may or may not be eligible to continue with practices or rehearsals depending upon the unique requirements of the activity(ies) involved. This decision will be at the discretion of the coach or director of that activity.

At the end of the first quarter, any student failing two or more subjects is ineligible for the second quarter.
