Back to TopWhat is POP's scholastic probationary policy with regard to playing sports?Students participating in DPL activities are required to maintain a grade of no less than 69.5 in each subject area and to achieve no less than a satisfactory rating in areas concerning conduct, effort and self-discipline. Student reports will be reviewed and a two-week probationary period will begin upon the distribution of quarterly progress reports or report cards. If the student does not meet the minimum standards, they will be placed on a two-week athletic probation. During those two weeks, students are prohibited from participating in practices and/or games. Once the probationary period expires, the student will be assessed again. If the student has shown progress and successfully raised his/her grade and/or conduct above the minimum standard, they will be permitted to return to their team. If, after being assessed, a student still exhibits a failing grade or unsatisfactory conduct, they will be placed on an additional two week probationary period. Assessments will continue every two weeks under the student's grades and/or conduct are brought up to standard or the season ends.
