6. Academic Standards
There are two determining factors that affect extra-curricular eligibility.
1) Catholic Memorial High School requires that a student involved in extra-curricular activities
achieve a minimum 1.5 GPA in the previous quarter. If the previous quarter grade falls below
the 1.5 GPA, the student will be ineligible, starting on the date grades for the quarter are officially
posted. The student will be ineligible to practice or participate from the date grades are posted
through the end of the next quarter.
2) The WIAA academic requirement states that a student meet school and Department of Public
Instruction requirements defining a full-time student and have received no more than one failing
grade or incomplete in the most recent grading period (1st quarter, 1st semester, 3rd quarter,
2nd semester).
During the academic year, a student may regain eligibility by meeting the academic standards
described above following 15 scheduled school days and nights of ineligibility. A student who is
ineligible for a minimum of 15 school days, under the provision of this requirement, may not return
to competition until the 16th school day. Incomplete grades must be made up within two weeks after
the grade-reporting period.
Following the last grade-reporting period of the school year, a student may regain eligibility through
summer school courses, provided the courses are equivalent to those that caused the ineligibility.
7. Attendance
Student athletes/activities participants who wish to participate in a practice or game on any given
day must be in attendance at least half of that same day. They must enter by 11:00 a.m. and may
not be released before 11:30 a.m.
APPEAL PROCEDURE
A student and his/her parents have one week in which to appeal the sanctions of the Activities Code. In
such a case, a review board consisting of the Principal, Dean of Students, Athletic Director, and head
coach of the respective sport or club moderator will hear the appeal and determine the sanctions. The
decision of the Review Board will be final.
The activity/athletic code, as stated, acknowledges both the rights and responsibilities of students. A
student and his/her parents or guardians have recourse if they believe an alleged offense did not occur
or sanctions are unjust. In such a case, a review board consisting of the Principal, Athletic Director, and
head coach/moderator of the respective sport or club will hear the appeal and determine the sanctions,
if necessary.
