IS MY SON ELIGIBLE? HOW DO I KNOW?

Eligibility is not a "day to day" thing. As important as current grades are, the most recent grades posted on a report card or progress report are the only grades that count towards eligibility. Please follow the steps below to find out about eligibility.

Follow the steps below:

- If the most recent grading period was a report card (T1, T2, T3, etc...), and the student is not passing EVERY REGULAR class, then the student is not eligible
- If the most recent grading period was a progress report (P1, P2, P3, etc...), then follow the steps below:

Was the student passing EVERY REGULAR class at the last progress report? (labeled P1, P2, P3, etc…)

Yes - Regardless of previous report card grades, the student is eligible
No - Move on to the next question

Was the student passing EVERY REGULAR class at the last report card? (labeled T1, T2, T3, etc…)

Yes - Regardless of current grades, the student is eligible
No - The student is NOT eligible.
