Student Athlete Academic Requirements
A student-athlete must meet the following academic requirements:
• A student athlete must pursue a curriculum defined and approved by the principal as a full-time curriculum.
• Every student athlete is required to do satisfactory schoolwork.
The following regulations govern academic eligibility:
• Grade averages are based on the student’s cumulative average to date during the marking period
• During the season, coaches are notified on a weekly basis by the Director of Athletics and Student Activities about the academic status of their student-athletes.
• If a student athlete is FAILING a course(s) during the athletic season for the first week, he/she will receive a notice from the Athletic Director but may continue to practice and play that week.
• If a student athlete is FAILING any course for a second week during his/her respective season, they will be suspended from games for the week. The student athlete may continue to practice that week. The purpose of the weekly ineligible PROBATIONARY period is to give students time to improve their grades. A student remains on Ineligible PROBATION for the entire week or until the teacher signs off that the student is passing.
• If a student athlete is FAILING a course for a third week during his/her respective season, he/she will be eliminated from participation in practices and games/performances for week. The purpose of the weekly Ineligible PROBATIONARY period is to give students the opportunity to improve their grades. A student remains on Ineligible PROBATION for the entire week or until the teacher signs off that the student is passing.
• Students are allowed THREE chances during the season to improve their grades. A fourth weekly ineligible infraction, whereas a student athlete is FAILING ANY COURSE(S), will result in the student being removed from the team for the remainder of the season.
• Any student-athlete failing a course(s) for the marking period is ineligible for the (10) school days starting the first official PIAA date of the next sport season. Students failing a subject(s) at the end of a 9 school year will be ineligible for twenty (20) school days. In that case, the ineligibility starts the first official PIAA date of Fall Sports.
• Students passing summer school courses may become eligible at the start of the new school year.
Students experiencing academic difficulty are encouraged to seek help by contacting their teachers and guidance counselors and participating in the BUCS Program after school
Attendance Requirements
• A student athlete must be regularly enrolled as a full-time student in the Interboro School District or attend a charter or cyber charter school which does not offer the same activity or be homeschooled.
• If a student athlete is absent from school for a total of fifteen (15) or more days (excused and unexcused) during a semester, a student athlete may lose eligibility until he/she has been in attendance for a total of forty-five (45) school days following the student athlete’s fifteenth (15) day of absence.
• All students are expected to arrive to school on time. Any student who is late to school and does not have a Doctor’s note or administrative approval, may not attend or participate in any after school activity that day. This includes clubs, games, practices, rehearsals, performances, as well as building events, dances and proms. Expectations will only be made for doctor’s appointments, funerals, or other emergencies as approved by the building administration. Exceptions must be pre-approved in writing by the Director of Athletics and School Principal.
• The attendance requirement is in effect for all regular school days, including the days when quarterly exams are scheduled.
• Students who are excused from PE class or choose not to participate in PE class on a given day are ineligible for athletic participation (competition or practice) for that day.
Transfer Student Requirements
A student athlete is treated as having transferred whenever a student athlete changes schools, even if a student athlete is out of school for a period of time before entering the new school. A Transfer Waiver needs to be completed and approved by the PIAA when a student transfers from another school into Interboro. Parents need to complete the form with the Athletic Director. Forms will be sent to the former school for approval. The form will be sent to the PIAA for final approval. Students who transfer in 11th or 12 grade are not eligible to play in post season sports for which they played in their previous schools. All rules of the PIAA will be followed for Transfer Students. Please see the PIAA Constitution and By-Laws for further information and grievance process.
Please contact Miss Ford if you have not completed your Transfer Forms for Sports.
