ATHLETICS AND EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES DISTRICT 207 EXTRACURRICULAR ACADEMIC ELIGIBILITY POLICY Any student who is a member of an extracurricular team/organization that represents a Maine Township school in competition against another school must meet an academic eligibility standard. Participants in clubs or organizations that are not involved in the competition are not subject to this eligibility requirement. The student must meet two academic standards: ● earned five full semester credits of high school work (exclusive of PE and Drivers Ed) for the previous semester, and ​ ● be currently passing at least five-semester credit high school courses (exclusive of Driver’s Ed) each ​ week. The student must meet both these standards. Once meeting the initial eligibility the student must maintain eligibility on a week-by-week basis. A student not meeting the initial requirement is ineligible for the entire subsequent semester and may not join ​ the team or practice with the team for that entire semester. If a student is already on a team when the ​ semester ends and does not pass the five-semester credit courses, he/she becomes immediately ineligible for the remainder of the semester. A student who does not meet initial eligibility may not practice with the team. A student who becomes ineligible ​ on a week-by-week basis may practice. The decision regarding practice is made after the coach/sponsor confers with the student and they discuss how the student will remedy the academic problem. Note: IHSA ​ ​ by-laws (3.141) prohibit an ineligible student to be in uniform on the team bench at a contest. Passing work is defined as work of such a grade that if on that given date the course would be completed, a passing grade would be earned by the student. It is the student’s cumulative grade in the course up to that given date. Credit earned during summer school may be used to supplement the spring semester credit in order to meet the initial eligibility requirement. Academic status is monitored through the District #207 Data Processing System using the DAI and DAL screens. Teachers input academic information weekly through the period-by-period attendance system. Only students whose names are entered into this data system may participate in competitive interscholastic extracurricular activities and appear on team rosters. The responsibility for determining eligibility after interpreting students’ pass/fail status rests with the department sponsoring the activity. That department will communicate all eligibility information to the appropriate sponsor/coach and the student’s counselor. ONLINES RESOURCES – ATHLETICS Updated schedules and information can be found on the Maine South Athletic Website. ​ ​ Illinois High School Association (IHSA) www.ihsa.org ​ The IHSA web page is the most valuable source for high school athletics.

A review of Marcin’s transcript will show that he is an outstanding and highly motivated student, as evidenced by his classroom performance. He has consistently taken a full schedule of accelerated and Advanced Placement courses with an emphasis in math and science. As a sophomore he took AP European History and AP Calculus BC; as a junior he took AP Language and Composition, AP U.S. History, AP Physics 1, and Multivariable Calculus and Differentiated Equations; this year he is enrolled in AP Literature and Composition, AP Psychology, AP Statistics, and AP Physics C. Additionally, he completed three years of Spanish at the accelerated level, and has been a four-year member of East’s Gifted Lyceum and band programs (more about that later). Although the focus of tonight’s recognition is on extra-curricular achievement, we can’t overlook Marcin’s academic performance. Mark Dobner, Maine East mathematics teacher shared the following reflection: “Marcin was in my AP Calculus BC class two years ago and was enrolled in my Multivariable Calculus and Differential Equations class last year.
