ATTENDANCE AT SCHOOL-SPONSORED ACTIVITIES & EVENTS
Attendance at School Activities and/or School Athletic Competitions is one of the many privileges
of being a student at Junction City High School. It is Academic Achievement, however, that is the
primary purpose of a school. For that reason, students who wish to attend Activities and/or School
Athletic Competitions hosted by Junction City High School, must meet specific Academic Criteria.
At the beginning of each semester, Administrative Staff will check the grades of students returning
to Junction City High School. Those that meet the criteria below will be eligible for the first six
weeks of the new semester. Freshmen are automatically eligible for the first six weeks of their 9th
grade year. New students are eligible if they met the academic criteria at their previous school.
Full-time students must have passed at least five (5) of their Academic Classes in the previous
semester or grading period to be eligible for participation. For students without full-time schedules,
or who came from schools with less than seven (7) Academic Classes the following chart
will be used:
• Students with only six (6) academic classes, must have passed at least five (5)
• Students with only five (5) academic classes, must have passed at least four (4)
• Students with only four (4) academic classes, must have passed at least three (3)
• Students with only three (3) or fewer academic classes must have passed all classes.
