Your Student's Participation Eligibility
-
In order for students to participate in Rehearsals and Performances, they must meet these critieria:
Standard Eligibility Rules for participation in Davies Activities:
- A student must attend a full day of school in order to perform or attend a rehearsal.
- Scholastic eligibility: A high school student shall be doing passing work in at least twenty hours per week, with the passing grade to be computed at the end of the first and third quarter grading periods in addition to each semester grading period.
- It should be noted that administration checks the grades the week of performances to be sure all of our students are on track and eligible to participate.
- Disciplinary Eligibility: Students who engage in acts that require disciplinary action may not be able to audition, practice, or perform depending on the severity of the incident.
- Any participant who receives an out-of-school suspension or expulsion shall be ineligible for participation, including practices, during the period of suspension or expulsion. Participants shall be eligible to participate when they are readmitted to school.
- Any issue regarding courts or police action will carry a 6-18 week penalty which allows practices but no performances.
If your student meets the eligibility rules for participation, their hours as volunteers, crew, or cast members can count towards lettering in Theatre. The follow spreadsheet can be used to track their hours and determine how close they are toward this goal.
-
Is it that time of year...? If you think you have possibly lettered in Theatre at Davies High, you need to come in and visit with Saari sometime soon. We have a lettereing document for Davies High School that is easy to follow that you will need to fill out. Lettering is based on a point system that measures level of participation and time commitment in the program. Your points roll over from year to year. If you ahve already lettered in Theatre, you could still be eligible for another letter.
All lettering information needs to be turned into Saari by April 30th in order to be processed for awards.
Lettering Form (paper copy): The form may be picked up from Saari anytime.
Lettering Form link online: The form can be found on the Davies Theatre Website on the Parent Information Page.
