Academic Probation
If a student is failing two or more core curriculum subjects or one major subject and two minor subjects, he is placed on academic probation until the end of that interim or marking period. If a student is on academic probation, he must attend Friday evening study hall from 7 until 9 pm and Saturday study hall from 2 until 4 pm.
Academic probation for two or more marking periods and an effort average between 1.0 and 2.0 will place as student in academic jeopardy.
