* No qualified ninth or tenth grade student will be “cut” from a junior varsity team to create an opening for an equally qualified eighth grade student. All eighth grade students who are eligible and receive a spot on any junior varsity athletic team must adhere to the same guidelines and expectations as the participating high school students. Special placement students must participate in extracurricular opportunities at the school which they are approved to attend.
