Academic Policy-
AHC Crew enforces a strict academic
policy-
Any interim or report card grade below a C and student is “land
locked” and must complete a Class Update Form for that class. The card
states that the athletes has “communicated” with the teacher, has no
outstanding assignments, has asked for extra credit opportunities and
additional help to boost her grade. Teacher must sign off that
student back on track to obtain a C or better for team
privileges to resume.
