Students who have been promoted or assigned to the next grade will be eligible for fall extra-curricular activities.  Students who are retained in the same grade level will be ineligible.

ATTENDANCE:  Students must attend school for at least three class periods on the day of an extra-curricular activity in order to participate in that activity.
