Eligibility policy
The Green Bay Diocesan Board of Education has clearly
stated that the primary purpose of Catholic education is to educate and develop
the mind, spirit, and body. It clearly affirms the importance of providing
wholesome extra-curricular experiences for students as integral aspects of a
total school program. It is a privilege for students to participate in all
extra-curricular activities; it is a privilege to represent the Kaukauna
Catholic School System. It is our hope that students will recognize the
importance of being students first and foremost. Therefore, eligibility to
participate in extra-curricular activities will depend on academic effort,
attitude, and conduct, both in school and at school functions.
Extra-curricular activities include (but are not
limited to) athletics, academic contests which take place outside the regular
school day and in which students represent KCSS Middle School, Ski Club, school
dances, classroom reward parties, Great America, and other fun non academic
school activities both before during and after school hours. They do NOT
include theater, band, choirs, religious activities, and regular academic school
field trips, although there may be circumstances when a student would be
excluded from other types of field trips. These circumstances would be handled
on an individual basis.
Academic Effort:
To be eligible for athletics and extra-curricular
activities, students must maintain a cumulative 2.0 grade point average (GPA),
and receive no “F’s” on his/her Mid-Quarter or Quarter Report Card. The scale
is as follows:
A = 4, B = 3, C = 2, D
= 1, F = 0
-
Students with a GPA below 2.0 or an “F” on their
Mid-Quarter or Quarter Report Card will be given a warning and placed on
probation for two weeks. During this time the student is eligible to play
and practice but must be working to improve their GPA. Students will be
given two warning periods per year.
-
At the end of the two-week period, the student through
daily work, tests, etc. must show proof that their GPA has improved. If
there is no improvement, the student will then be suspended for two weeks
from all athletic competitions (practice will still be allowed) and all
extra-curricular activities. The student should compile the needed
information and take it to the principal as confirmation of the improvement.
-
At the end of this two-week period, the student must
show proof that their GPA has improved. If there is no improvement, the
student will then be suspended from all athletic and extra-curricular
activities for the remainder of the quarter.
-
At the end of this quarterly suspension period, the
student must show proof that their GPA has improved. If there is no
improvement, the student will then be suspended form all athletic and
extra-curricular activities for the remainder of the semester.
Behavior/Attitude:
-
A student
receiving 10 level one points, 2 level two infractions or 1 level three
infraction will be ineligible to participate in all athletic games and
extra-curricular activities for two weeks. They will be expected to
participate in practices. They must attend games with their teams but are
not allowed to play in the games.
-
A student who
is suspended for any reason will be ineligible for all extracurricular
activities, including Great America, as determined by the principal.
