CRLS has made increases to the academic guideline requirements
established by the Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association
(MIAA) regarding student participation on interscholastic teams. To
participate on a team a student must be carrying a full load of courses,
which is equal to four in our case. Students must pass 3 of 4 (letter
graded) classes, have a GPA of 70 or greater, and if enrolled in
English, Physical Education or Dance courses receive a passing grade. To
be eligible for the Fall marking period, students are required to have
passed and received full credits for the previous academic year the
equivalent of four traditional year long major English courses. To
participate in the Winter and Spring Seasons, a student must secure
during the last marking period preceding the contest (e.g. second
quarter marks and not semester grades determine third quarter
eligibility) a passing grade, and full credit, in the equivalent of four
traditional year long major English courses. In addition a student
cannot at any time represent a CRLS unless that student is taking
courses which would provide Carnegie Units equivalent to four
traditional year long major English courses.
Academic
eligibility of all students shall be considered as official and
determined on the published date when the report cards for that ranking
period are to be issued to the parents of all students within a
particular class
Bi-Weekly Progress Reports are mandatory for
every student athlete. If a student athlete does NOT turn in progress
report, he/she will NOT be permitted to play in next game.
If a
student falls below a 70 GPA, (67.5-69.49), he/she will be on Academic
Probation, and it is mandatory for them to attend homework center 3
times a week for 2 weeks. At the end of the two weeks, the Athletic
Director and Principal will review the progress reports to determine if
the student-athlete can participate in interscholastic contests.
If
a student has less than a 73 GPA, he/she will be required to attend
homework center once a week before going to practice. The
student-athlete will bring a note to their coach from the homework
center or teacher.
