Eligibility
ELIGIBILITY
According to the Kansas State High School
Activities Association a student must pass five (5) subjects in order to
participate in interscholastic competition for the next semester. If a students fails to pass 5 subjects they
will be ineligible for the next semester.
As well, Holcomb High School
has the following weekly eligibility standards:
Activity and Athletic Participation
Eligibility: Eligibility for participation in all school
sponsored activities for HHS students will be determined on a weekly basis.
- Eligibility begins after a two-week
“grace” period at the beginning of each semester.
- Eligibility reports will be issued
using the current semester grade.
- Any student who has two (2) F’s (a
failing grade), or two (2) consecutive weekly failing grades in any one
class, will become INELIGIBLE for that week’s athletic events as well as
any school sponsored activities (this includes club activities, school
dances, prom, field trips, etc.)
- School sponsored activities that
directly affect the performance of a student’s grade in that class will be
considered separately with approval from the principal. (ex. band/choir concert).
- This ineligibility will be in affect
from Monday to Monday (or the first day of any week where Monday is a
holiday). The eligibility reports
will be generated on Monday morning after 8:00 am and will be placed in all teacher’s / coach’s
/ sponsor’s mailboxes.
- It will then be the teacher’s / coach’s
/ sponsor’s responsibility to inform the ineligible student that day of
their status for that week.
Ineligible status
will not change until the following Monday even if new grades are entered that
week by a teacher to make the student eligible.
If a student is on
the ineligible list he or she will have to attend At-Risk tutoring during
Homeroom and lunch time. Here are some
guidelines that should be followed:
- A letter will be sent home to the
parents stating that their son or daughter is failing a class(es).
- Homeroom teacher will inform the
student that they are failing Monday during Homeroom. The student should be sent to room 119.
- The student will eat lunch at 12:00 on Monday.
- The rest of the week the student will
not check into Homeroom. They will
go directly to lunch and then to room 119.
- If a teacher needs to see a student
please email Mrs. Hopson. She will
have a pass to send with the student.
- The student will be given 3 minutes to
get to the class that they are going to.
Please monitor this!
- The point of At-Risk Tutoring is to
help those students than need extra help and hopefully get them off the
failing list.
