I. Participation Eligibility

To be eligible to participate in extracurricular activities during any season (fall, winter, spring) a student is required to participate in all practice sessions and competitions. The coach or director of the activity may allow exceptions to this policy for excused absences.

II. Academic Eligibility

In order to monitor student-athlete academic progress a quarter grade report will be generated on a bi-weekly basis beginning on the second Friday of each academic quarter. The report will be shared with head coaches of each activity by 3:00 p.m. in order to assist coaches in mentoring students towards academic success.

A student who receives three or more “F’s” on a bi-weekly list shall become ineligible immediately for both practice and competition on the Monday following the creation of the academic progress report and will remain ineligible until he or she is passing all classes. A student will immediately regain their eligibility when passing all classes, however it will be the responsibility of the ineligible student to notify administration when they are passing all classes in order to regain their eligibility.

If a student has more than one “F” for a semester, he or she shall be ineligible to participate in competitions for the following semester. Since Frenchtown Junior High does not follow a semester system, the policy will be week to week throughout the entire year.

Our Philosophy

At Frenchtown High School we believe every student has the potential to be a contributing member of society. Life-long learning develops best in a safe, supportive, and respectful environment. Challenging curricular and extra-curricular choices foster academic, creative, athletic, and social growth as students prepare for a range of diverse post-secondary opportunities.
