Eligibility for Extra-Curricular Activities

Representing Ramey School and/or participating in extra-curricular activities are both a privilege and a responsibility. Any student participating in extra-curricular activities is expected to:

• maintain a minimum of 2.00 GPA
• not be failing more than one class
• follow rules of conduct and citizenship necessary to remain eligible.

A student that exhibits good citizenship is one that is good standing with the school and community. Any student whose character and conduct is such as to reflect discredit on his/her school, team, or organization would not be considered a creditable school citizen. This conduct could lead to suspension or expulsion from school or an activity. The individual may not represent the school during this time and may not attend school-sponsored events neither as a participant nor as a spectator. The violations of the school code of conduct, to include class behavior, and disrespect toward school employees, truancy, or any negative encounter with officials of the community could result in the above penalty. This policy is designed and written as a guide and is by no means all inclusive. The school shall be the judge of character or conduct as it may reflect discredit on the school, team, or organization.

• Written Referral -The student may not be allowed to participate in the next scheduled event a decision will be made by the Assistant Principal and /or Principal on participant's status.
• Suspensions-The first suspension will result in the student not being allowed to participate in events for a one-week period. A second suspension will result in dismissal from extra curricular activities for the rest of the school year.

A student will be ineligible to participate in extracurricular activities involving membership in a club, team, or similar organization if the student fails to earn a 2.0 GPA during the quarter. Calculation of grade point averages will be based on first quarter, first semester, third quarter, and second semester grades for high school students. For middle school students, calculation of the GPA will be based on quarter grades. Academic ineligible students may attend school-sponsored events as spectators only.

A student who is found ineligible based on academics will be suspended from all extracurricular activities for the first two weeks after grades have been posted after these initial two weeks, the student may request that the Ramey Administration place him on academic probation for the remainder of the quarter.

The student will be responsible for having his/her teachers fill out a weekly academic progress sheet. The student will turn in the academic progress sheet to either the Assistant Principal or Principal on each Friday of the subsequent week that the student wants to be declared eligible.

The administrator will determine eligibility and inform the extracurricular sponsor. In order for a student to be eligible, he must have a minimum of 2.00 GPA, not be failing more than one class, and not have any discipline referrals will be determined each week that a student wants to participate. If a student turns in an incomplete progress sheet he/she will be declared ineligible for the week requested.
