High School Web Page and Infinite Campus Access
Frenchtown High School has its own webpage! Go to the Frenchtown School District Webpage (ftsd.org) click on the “menu” tab then click High School. Here you will find our daily announcements, lunch menu, handbooks and our activities schedules. You can access your student’s grades and attendance at any time via the Frenchtown School District website (ftsd.org). The link to the Infinite Campus Parent/Student portal site is located on the top of the home page as well as the main page of the High School. Click on the link and then enter your I.D. and password to see a current grade report. If you do not have a copy of the access codes please call the high school office. Grades are updated at least one time per week. If you have a question or a concern regarding a grade please contact the teacher. Email is the most effective way to communicate with our teachers as there are no phones in the classrooms. All email addresses are available on our website. It’s important to be involved!
I. Participation Eligibility
To be eligible to participate in extracurricular activities during any season (fall, winter, spring) a student is required to participate in all practice sessions and competitions. The coach or director of the activity may allow exceptions to this policy for excused absences.
II. Academic Eligibility
In order to monitor student-athlete academic progress a quarter grade report will be generated on a bi-weekly basis beginning on the second Friday of each academic quarter. The report will be shared with head coaches of each activity by 3:00 p.m. in order to assist coaches in mentoring students towards academic success.
A student who receives three or more “F’s” on a bi-weekly list shall become ineligible immediately for both practice and competition on the Monday following the creation of the academic progress report and will remain ineligible until he or she is passing all classes. A student will immediately regain their eligibility when passing all classes, however it will be the responsibility of the ineligible student to notify administration when they are passing all classes in order to regain their eligibility.
If a student has more than one “F” for a semester, he or she shall be ineligible to participate in competitions for the following semester. Since Frenchtown Junior High does not follow a semester system, the policy will be week to week throughout the entire year.
