📣🏆 Attention all student athletes and sports enthusiasts! 🎉 Your grades are your ticket to the game, and here's how it works: 📚 Initial Eligibility: Before the season kicks off, we'll be checking your grades from the previous grading period. To hit the field, court, or track, remember: no Fs allowed in any class. 📊📝 🥇 In-Season Success: Once the action begins, maintaining your grades is the key to staying in the game. Keep those grades F-free in all your classes to stay eligible to play! 📈📌 ❗ F-Grade Alert: Hey, we get it—sometimes things can get tough. If you end up with an F in any class during the season, don't worry. You're still eligible to practice. To play again, just work on boosting that grade to 60% or higher. 📣💪 🚫 Multiple Fs? Sit Tight: Unfortunately, if you find yourself with two or more Fs, you won't be able to play for the rest of the season. Your education comes first, and we're here to help you succeed both on and off the field. 📚🏃‍♀️ Remember, we're cheering you on both in academics and sports. Let's make this season a winning one! 🏅📖 #StudentAthlete #GradesMatter
