Eligibility

In order to be eligible to attend or participate in Tointon Academy-sponsored events, including, but not limited to middle-level dances, musicals, plays, end-of-year field trips, etc., students must meet the following requirements related to academics, behavior, and attendance. 

• Students must maintain grades in all classes that reflect adequate academic responsibility. Students with an F grade will not be eligible to participate. Likewise, students with more than 2 D grades will not be eligible to participate. 
• Students must also be in good disciplinary standing to be eligible. Generally, the requirement will be no in-school or out-of-school suspensions inside the eligibility window. 
• Students who meet the definition of chronically absent inside the eligibility window will also not be eligible to participate. Chronically absent is defined as four or more unexcused absences in one month. Habitual tardiness may also be considered and is defined as more than three unexcused tardies in a semester. 

Whenever possible, students will be provided opportunities to earn their eligibility by working with their teachers to raise their grades to an acceptable level for eligibility. Activities will occasionally be based on the grades earned for a past grading period.  In those cases, students cannot be given opportunities to change their grades. 

The use of the above eligibility requirements is at the discretion of the staff member responsible for that event and with the school principal's approval.  The above requirements may also be altered for specific events at the discretion of the staff member responsible for that event and with the approval of the school principal. Still, such alterations will always be communicated to students and families/guardians promptly prior to the event.

Students participating in sports for other District 6 middle schools are subject to the eligibility requirements of those schools.
