    ELIGIBILITY

    The St. Paul School District passed eligibility rules for all St. Paul Public School students who participate in extra-curricular activities. The implementation of this policy is another expression of the District's commitment to improve the instructional program.

    All students entering as ninth graders are eligible to participate. The following graph explains the minimum credits needed in order to continue participating in athletics.

    Athletics will determine eligibility of student athletes using the semester grades. Student athletes will have a chance to appeal their status using progress reports at mid-semester. The exceptions to this rule will be Johnson and Washington, which use the quarter grading system.
