3) Any student receiving failing (F) grades will be ineligible for a period equal to at least one fourth (1/4) of the regularly scheduled season. Such ineligibility shall also be for at least the minimum total contests required by the WIAA in a given sport. An athlete must be designated at a participation level (varsity, JV, freshman) to serve all penalties. a) At the completion of the suspension period, an athlete may become eligible if a passing grade exists in all classes and is maintained. b) Prior to completion of the suspension period, an ineligible athlete must turn in to the athletic director an eligibility card which will include the names of all classes currently enrolled in along with current grades and signatures of the teacher before he/she can become eligible to participate. The eligibility card must continue to be turned in to the athletic director at two-week intervals until the end of the grading period. c) The ineligible may practice only if he/she attends a designated after-school study hall prior to each school day practice. H. Class Rank Policy When computing GPA, a grade of A+/A = 4 pts., A- = 3.67, B+ = 3.3, B = 3, B- = 2.67, C+ = 2.3, C = 2.0, C- = 1.67, D+ = 1.3, D = 1.0, D- = .67, F = 0 pts. The use of pluses and minuses with grades will be computed into the GPA. A student that transfers into Johnson Creek High School shall have their grades transfer on an A through F grade scale. GPAs that are based on other scales shall be transferred to our scale by the Counselor Counselor, high school principal, and district administrator. The GPA shall be based on all classes. Any Pass/Fail grade will not be averaged into the overall GPA. Class rank is determined by the cumulative GPA where the sum of grade points earned is divided by the total number of credits taken. Youth Options Calculation: Class rank shall be computed using the combined grade and credit equivalent from Johnson Creek High School and the postsecondary institution. High school credit will be awarded for any postsecondary course approved by the Board of Education. The grade received by the student will be calculated into the student’s GPA and reflected on their high school transcript. A postsecondary three-credit course will be awarded .75 high school credit. A postsecondary two-credit course will be awarded .50 high school credit. A postsecondary one-credit course will be awarded .25 high school credit. Any credit to be awarded is based on successful course completion or receiving a passing grade. 6 Table of Contents
