Academic Dismissal A student may be asked to leave Padua if: 1. the student is not performing according to his/her academic potential 2. a student is of average or above average ability and falls below 1.6 overall accumulative GPA 3. a student's cumulative GPA or semester GPA is below 1.0 for more than two consecutive semesters 4. a student has been on Academic Probation and has not complied with the probation requirements 5. a student fails to successfully complete the required summer school 6. a student does not have sufficient credits to begin the next school year a. 6 credits for sophomore year b. 12 credits for junior year c. 18 credits for senior year ACCIDENTS Students who sustain an injury during the school day should report to the school clinic. The nurse can provide first aid and will contact the parents/guardians in order to jointly determine the appropriate course of action. The student must complete an accident/injury report. If an accident occurs after school, a report should be completed the next school day. If an accident occurs before school, it should be reported as soon as the General Office opens. STUDENT ACCIDENT INSURANCE: All injuries requiring hospital treatment or a doctor’s care should be reported to the Business Office within 30 days of the injury. The Business Office will complete a report and forward it to the parents for processing. Any bills not covered by the family’s insurance should be reimbursed by the student accident insurance. (Note: the Student Accident Insurance Company must be put on notice within 30 days of the injury, or they have the right to refuse reimbursement for uncovered expenses.) ACTIONS REFLECTING ON SCHOOL REPUTATION Padua's goal of developing Christian character in its students is an attitude that extends well beyond the limits of the school day. Padua students who engage in activities which damage the reputation of the school (harassing or vandalizing the property of others, creating disturbances on or vandalizing public transportation, etc.) will be dealt with severely because of the harm they have caused to their own family and the entire Padua community. Students involved in other illegal or criminal conduct will be subject to disciplinary action. Severe offenses of this nature can result in dismissal.
