Academic Probation
A student must establish and maintain a pattern of academic success while attending O’Dea High School. A student failing to do so at the conclusion of each quarter will be placed on Academic Probation. It is expected that the student will re-establish a pattern of academic success during the probationary period. To support the student during his probationary period, attendance at supervised study hall (PACE) is required. The record of a student’s PACE attendance can be found on the student’s PowerSchool account.
Several indicators determine Academic Probation:
- Earning a failing grade in a single course.
- Earning grades that result in loss of eligibility for participation in co-curricular activities.
- Administrative determination of failure to establish and maintain a pattern of academic success.
A student will be placed on Academic Probation for one quarter. At the conclusion of the quarter, the Administration will determine if a student placed on probation has re-established a pattern of academic success. A student who is on Academic Probation and fails to re-establish a pattern of academic success will remain on probation for the following quarter. A student failing to establish a pattern of academic success for the fourth quarter will be placed on academic probation for the first quarter of the following year.
The Administrative Team may withdraw a student who has been on Academic Probation for three-quarters in one school year.
