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. To maintain eligibility to participate in extra-curricular activities, a child must maintain certain academic standards. Failure to maintain these standards can result in probation or suspension from these activities.

If the student receives a "D" in one of the core classes (religion, math, reading, science, and/or social studies), or two "D’s" in his/her special areas (Art, Music, Phys. Ed., Health, Computer, Handwriting, Language) 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," the student will be suspended from all practices, games, competitions, rehearsals, etc., until the end of the nine-week period.

A student can be placed on probation or suspended from athletics or extra-curricular activities at any time due to behavior problems. In particular, any student who violates the discipline policy of the school is subject to suspension from the program at the discretion of the principal after a 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
