Academic Probation

Academic Probation

Students performing at unsatisfactory or marginal levels, despite accommodations and interventions by the school, may be placed on academic probation. Academic probation may be initiated upon the recommendation of teachers and counselors, and approved by administration.

The purpose of academic probation is to encourage students to regain a satisfactory academic standing, and for parents and school to renew their joint commitment in this process. While on probation, students are expected to take full advantage of extra help. Students who continue to have difficulties and show little evidence of trying to improve may be asked to leave KS.

Students on academic probation are not permitted to represent the school in any activities for a minimum of a two (2) week period. Administrative clearance to resume participation in activities does not remove the student from academic probation.

Students who continue to remain on academic probation are evaluated at the end of each grading period, in order to review what student progress has been made. Teacher comments, participation in study help sessions, and completion of class/homework assignments are some examples of areas which reflect student effort.

STUDENTS WHO CONTINUE TO HAVE DIFFICULTIES AND SHOW LITTLE EVIDENCE OF TRYING TO IMPROVE, MAY BE ASKED TO LEAVE KAMEHAMEHA SCHOOLS.

Eligibility to Represent Kamehameha Schools

Students who represent KS must be in good standing for academics and conduct. The guidelines below are in effect for all co-and extra-curricular activities and honorary positions including: Athletics, Performing Arts, Math Team, Academic Decathlon Team, and KHS Student Council.
