St. Louis Park Theatre Chemical & Academic Standards Policies Chemical Policy

The St. Louis Park High School Theatre department is committed to maintaining a chemical free organization. The chemical policy is as follows:

During the calendar year regardless of quantity a student shall not:
- use/possess a beverage containing alcohol
- use/possess tobacco in any form
- use, consume, have in possession, buy, sell or give away any other
controlled substance

Violation of this policy will result in disciplinary action. This action is designed to encourage the student to make wiser decisions in the future regarding chemical use and provide a healthy, chemical free theatre program for all students.

1st violation in or out of season – ineligible to participate for 1 season or 15 activity days (which may preclude you from the next season), whichever is greater. Student may not attend end of year banquet.
2nd violation in or out of season – Ineligible to participate for 1 calendar year.
(All disciplinary action takes effect immediately upon violation.)

Academic Policy
The St. Louis Park High School Theatre recognizes that theater is an extra-curricular activity. This means that academics must come first and that a student who is not succeeding academically should look closely at his/her priorities. To assist students in making sound decisions and in succeeding academically, the theatre department institues the following policy on academic standards:

- To be eligible for a season of theatre, a student’s cumulative and past semester GPAs must
be at least 2.000 and have no grades in the last term lower than a C.*
- To maintain eligibility throughout the season, students must be earning all A’s, B’s, C’s and
S’s and attend class regularly. Grades lower than C will incur the following consequences*.
- 1 D or F – the student must meet with his/her teacher and make a plan for
raising the grade to a C- or better.
- 2 D’s or F’s – the student may retain their eligibility on a probationary status:
- Weekly grade reports will be required
- Grades must be improved within 2 weeks
- Student will have perfect attendance
- 3 or more D’s or F’s – parents will be contacted and the theatre director will
recommend removal of eligibility.
- Failure to raise grades, or poor class attendance, will result in removal from the current
production.

*Alternative criteria will be created by the theatre director, the activities coordinator, and the
parents for students in Special Education or students who have an applicable 504 plan.
