Mason Middle School Academic Eligibility Requirements:
To be academically eligible to compete in interscholastic athletics at MMS, all students are required to meet the following two-fold standard:
A. All MMS student-athletes must meet the O.H.S.A.A. academic requirement which states:
- A student in grade 7 or 8 must be currently enrolled and must have been enrolled in school the immediately preceding grading period and received passing grades during that grading period in 5 subjects in which the student receives grades.
Consequence: If the student fails to meet the O.H.S.A.A. academic requirement of passing 5 of the subjects in which they were enrolled, the student will be ruled ineligible to compete in interscholastic athletics for the duration of the next grading period. (O.H.S.A.A. Policy)
B. All MMS student-athletes must be passing all subjects currently enrolled in during the immediate grading period in which they are competing interscholastically.
- A student must be passing all subjects enrolled in during the immediate grading period in which they are participating. All grades will be evaluated by use of the interim reports during the 5th and 14th week of the semester and also the quarter and semester report cards.
Consequence: If a student has one or more failing grades in any course at the time interim reports or report cards are distributed, the student will be ruled ineligible (may not participate in practices or contests) until passing all subjects. (Mason City School District Policy).
