Academic Eligibility Requirements
To be eligible to participate in Minnesota State High School League governed activities, a student must be making satisfactory progress toward the requirements for graduation from Cambridge-Isanti High School.
Students in grades 7-12 are also required to maintain a passing grade in each of his/her classes to participate at the Varsity or Junior Varsity level.
The following guidelines are used:
- Academic Probation: At the end of each grading term, all students who earned a 1.32 GPA or less will be placed on academic probation. Students on academic probation may continue to practice and compete.
- Academic Suspension: Students on academic probation for two terms in a row will be placed on academic suspension. Students on academic suspension will be allowed to practice, but will not be allowed to compete in any extracurricular activities during the grading period unless they set up an improvement plan with administration. This improvement plan will contain specific criteria and work time outside the school hours.
- Status Upgrade: Students can upgrade their suspension status to probation at a tri-term grading period, if they are passing all classes.
- Academic Eligibility Review: Suspended students and their parents/guardians who feel there were significant extenuating circumstances for failing a class may request an academic eligibility committee review. The request must be made in writing to the principal. Committee members include:
- the teacher of the failing class, principal, special education teacher (if applicable), counselor, activity director or coach
- the teacher of the failing class, principal, special education teacher (if applicable), counselor, activity director or coach
- Behavior Suspension: Participation in extracurricular activities is a privilege. Students who are unable to maintain behavior that is conducive to learning and keeping a positive learning environment may be removed from activities for a period of time until proper behavior improvement is shown.
The principal and/or middle school activities director will schedule and preside over the meeting and notify the student and parents/guardians of the final decision. If the committee determines that there were significant extenuating circumstances, it may allow the student to participate in extracurricular activities.
