Daniel Hand High School Student and Parent Notification of Ineligibility

The academic success of our students is our primary purpose. Extra curricular activities, although secondary, are a very important part of our overall educational program. It is expected that all students will maintain passing grades and that they and their parents will be kept current on academic progress.

At the Interim point in a trimester, if a student is receiving grades in the D and F range, his / her guidance counselor will contact the student and his / her parents for discussion on strategies for academic improvement.

At the Interim point in a trimester the athletic director will be notified of student-athletes whose grades are in the D and F range, which may lead to academic ineligibility. The athletic director and coach will contact the student in an effort to support and encourage the student in making strides to improve his / her academic standing.

Prior to report card distribution students-athletes grades' will be reviewed by guidance and the athletic director. Those students who are deemed academically ineligible will be notified in a meeting with their parents, the director of guidance and athletic director. A proposal will be developed to put in place supports for academic improvement, and the athletic director will work with the student in developing a plan whereby the student can still feel connected to the athletic community.
