It is a privilege to participate on an athletic team at Trinity Lutheran School.  Our students are expected to use their God-given talents to their fullest in extracurricular activities, but their first responsibility is academics.  Therefore the following standards have been established by the school in order for students to participate in athletics:

• A student in grades 5-8 with 2 late assignments or a 10 point deduction in work habits grade will miss the next practice.  After 4 late assignments or a 20 point deduction in work habits grade the student will miss the next 2 practices and the next athletic competition.

• For students in grades 2-4, the athletic director will communicate with their teachers to determine those students who are ineligible based on academic performance.

• A student having 2 ‘D’s or 1 ‘F’ at midterm or quarter grading periods would be reviewed for ineligibility to participate in games and practice.

• The ineligibility begins after the school administrator or athletic director have informed the parents in writing. The player's eligibility will be re-evaluated after two weeks.

• An incomplete mark on a student’s report card will also be cause to declare a student ineligible until the work is completed.

• If the student is still ineligible after the two week re-evaluation, a meeting between the student, parents, athletic director, and principal will be conducted to determine the next steps.
