Eastwood Middle School

Washington Township recently voted in favor of adopting new academic eligibility requirements for student athletes, details are listed below. A student must be in good standing and meet minimum academic requirements to participate in District-sponsored activities. To be granted initial eligibility for any athletic or extra-curricular activity, all students must have a passing grade in at least 70% of their enrolled classes on the first official day of IHSAA and/or Club Sport sanctioned practice, or extra-curricular activity. Qualifying grading periods are the first nine weeks, end of first semester, third nine weeks, end of second semester. Mid-term grades are not criteria for eligibility. An athlete, who becomes ineligible after the season begins, will practice with the team, will sit with the team on the bench, but will not wear the team uniform during the event, and will not participate in any games or matches during the period of ineligibility. Eligibility for participation in middle school clubs and organizations requires students to meet minimum academic and behavioral requirements established by the school administration. Students and parents will be informed of all requirements prior to participation.
