ACADEMICS
LOWER/MIDDLE SCHOOL Academic Building Visitors During school hours all visitors to our middle school campus must report to the Academic Office, obtain and prominently wear their visitor pass. Academic/Athletic Expectations It is the desire of Tallulah Falls School for every student to achieve high academic standards. Tallulah Falls School also believes students should be well-rounded. We encourage our students to participate in activities including athletics. To help every student-athlete achieve academic success, the following guidelines have been put in place: All grades will be reviewed after the first three weeks of school. The Academic Dean, teacher(s) and coach will collaborate on a plan for any student-athlete with a grade of 70 or below in two or more classes which may limit playing ability. Students will be given a set time (often one week) to raise their grades. Students will attend mandatory tutorial during this time. If after a set time, if the student’s grade has not improved to a passing grade, the following conditions will apply: • • •
1 week - Student will not travel with their teams during the week. 2 weeks - Student will not travel or participate in team games. 3 weeks - Student will not participate in practices or games.
Grade reviews will occur weekly during the season. If at any point a student’s grade is above 70, the student will resume normal team activities. The Academic Dean and the Athletic Director may review a student on a case-by-case basis and make any changes that benefit the student’s academic success. Academic Probation Tallulah Falls School wants every student to be academically successful. At the end of each semester all grades will be formally reviewed. If a student’s GPA is below 2.0 for the semester or if the student fails more than one class for the semester, the student will be immediately placed on academic probation. If a student remains on academic probation at the end of the following semester, the student may be dismissed from Tallulah Falls School.
