As noted on page 44 of the Crandall ISD Student Handbook, students who receive grades below 70 at the end of a grading period in any academic class may not participate in extracurricular activities for at least three school weeks.

However, if a student receives a grade below 70, but above a 59, at the end of a grading period in an Advanced Placement (AP) or a designated Honors course in English language arts, mathematics, science, social studies, economics, or languages other than English, the student remains eligible for participation in all extracurricular activities. A student who receives a grade below 60 at the end of grading period in any advanced or honors class may not participate in extracurricular activities for at least three school weeks. All Dual Credit courses are exempt from the “no pass no play” requirements. The advanced and honors courses that are exempt from the “no pass no play” requirements are listed below.

If a student is enrolled in a state-approved course that requires demonstration of the mastery of an essential knowledge and skills in public performance and the student receives a grade below 70 in any course at the end of the grading period, the student may participate in a performance so long as the general public is invited.
