CO-‐CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES CODE OF CONDUCT At Oldenburg Academy, holding an office in a co-‐curricular activity is an honor. Students must abide by all Oldenburg Academy rules. If students have questions about school rules, please contact school personnel or refer to the “Student Code of Conduct” section of the student handbook. ACADEMIC ELIGIBILITY Academic eligibility standards reflect a greater emphasis on classroom achievement where participation in co-‐curricular activities is viewed as a privilege. Students’ eligibility depends on the following policies: • A student’s eligibility will be determined according to quarter grade point average (G.P.A.). Students must receive passing grades in 5 classes at the end of the quarter in order to be academically eligible. • In addition, Oldenburg Academy requires that all quarter grades must, when combined, result in a G.P.A. of at least 2.0 on a 4.0 scale. • If a student becomes ineligible due to academics, he/she may be reconsidered at the midterm if they earn and maintain a 2.0 or above. An academic/discipline contract could be established in collaboration with the principal, guidance counselor, athletic director, parents, and student to monitor weekly progress based on the students’ past and present academic/discipline history. Therefore, eligibility could be temporarily reinstated on a weekly basis until the student is at the required 2.0 where the contract could be dissolved. The final decision will rest with the principal. If, at anytime, their G.P.A. falls below, the student will be permanently removed for the remainder of the term. o Fall Season – midpoint of Q1 o Winter Season – end of Q2 o Spring Season – midpoint of Q4 DISCIPLINE ELIGIBILTY Students having eight or more conduct points during an academic year will forfeit their club membership and, if a member of Academy Singers and/or drama, will only be allowed to practice with the group(s). Students may not participate in any Oldenburg Academy sponsored co-‐curricular activity for the remainder of the school year. The principal is the final recourse in disciplinary situations and reserves the right to interpret and apply any and all disciplinary rules to their discretion. 33 | P age
