Students with an Individual Education Program
In order to be considered eligible to participate in competitive interscholastic activities, students with disabilities
must pass at least four (4) courses per semester as required by their individual education program (IEP). (Nemo Vista:
All students must maintain a 2.0 grade point average to participate in any extracurricular activities.)

Arkansas Activities Association
In addition to the foregoing rules, the district shall abide by the rules of the Arkansas Activities Association (AAA)
governing interscholastic activities. AAA provides catastrophic insurance coverage for students participating in AAA
governing extracurricular activities who are enrolled in school. As a matter of District policy, no student may
participate in an AAA governed extracurricular activity unless he or she is enrolled in a district school, to ensure all
students are eligible for AAA catastrophic insurance.

Intrascholastic Activities

AAA Governed Activities

Students participating in intrascholastic extracurricular activities that would be governed by AAA if they were to
occur between students of different schools shall meet all interscholastic activity eligibility requirements to be eligible
to participate in the comparable intrascholastic activity. The District will abide by the AAA Handbook for such
activities to ensure District students are not disqualified in interscholastic activities.

Non-AAA Governed Activities

Unless made ineligible by District policies, all students shall be eligible to participate in non-AAA governed
intrascholastic extracurricular activities. Intrascholastic activities designed for a particular grade(s) or course(s) shall
require the student to be enrolled in the grade(s) or course(s).
