Attention parent/guardians of extra-curricular activities participants: our 7-12 student activity eligibility requirements are as follows: This summer Minnewaukan School changed our student eligibility requirements. All 7-12 Minnewaukan participating students who have all required paperwork completed are eligible until midterm of the current quarter. At midterm each quarter we will run grades, and students failing any of their classes will be ineligible. Their coaches and guardians will be notified. Students will then be notified and will remain ineligible until the failing grade or grades return to a passing level, whether it takes a day, week or until the end of the quarter. From then on, until the end of the current quarter, weekly grade checks will occur each Monday following Midterm. If you have any questions regarding our new activity eligibility requirements I would be more than happy to discuss with you. Thanks.
