The faculty of Appalachian High
School has anounced a change in
k school policy that has become
p| ? matter at growing concern for
the faculty, for students, and for
parents. A study of participation
In school activities was made by
t committee of faculty members,
and changes recommended by the
Committee were approved by the
entire faculty. An announcement
toncerning the change was made
fey Dr. Blanton in assembly on
Friday.
In the past, a student who re
ceived a failure notice at the end
?f four and one-half weeks or a
failure on his report card at the
*nd of nine weeks was declared
ineligible for participation in ma
jor school activities. Under the
revised program, the fsllure no
tice will serve as a warning to Ike
student and hie parents; he wffl
become ineligible only if he fails
?t the end of the alne weekj grad
fcig period. The student who is
4>en suspended from participation
may become eligible again after
lour and one-half weeks if he is
pau'ng all his courses.
Students will not be declared in
eligible for thoee activities which
?re directly related to courses for
which credit toward graduation is
given; these include agriculture,
hand, chorus, and several others.
Activities for such groups must be
scheduled in advance, with all
atudenta involved to be responsi
ble for making up their other
classwork in advance.
Changes in the policy were
made, not to lower academic
Standards, but to give encourage
?mat to students who can succeed
Id come it?u of school lifo. An
other purpose for the change It to
bring about a bettor owning n
lationahip between the tadividarf
?Meat Mi hi* tlaecrvom teacher.
i Meaibers of Ike faHltjr have ??
framed a deekv to work am*
closely with an stodeuta in an ef
fort to raise the standard* at
achoiarahip. Special effort! are al
ready being made to help students
who are failing courier Parents
are asked to support the school'!
program by encouraging student*
to make better uhi of bome-stwdy
time. ?
