​Academic Probation and Dismissal:

A student who receives two failures (F's) in any semester is placed on academic probation. A student who receives three failures (F's) in any quarter may be dismissed immediately upon recommenda- tion of the Academic Review Board. A student who receives a total of three failures (F's) for the academic school year may not return to Paraclete the following academic year. If a failure grade is rec- orded in a subject required for graduation the same subject must be retaken. If the subject is an elective, the credit only must be earned; that is, another elective course may be substituted. Ar-

rangements for retaking a course are to be made through the Aca- demic Counselor. In order to return in the fall, all F's must be made up. Students who earn a failure in a core course, English, Math, Science or Social Studies must retake that course at Paraclete. For all courses that need to be retaken during the summer, including

those with "D" and "F" grades: If a course is offered at Paraclete, it may not be taken elsewhere for placement on the Paraclete tran- script unless such action is approved by the Vice-Principal. Grades for any student officer, athlete or cheerleader who fails a subject will be reviewed and the student may be removed from office or incur ineligibility in that sport or activity until such time as the stu- dent reaches the necessary scholastic achievement. Refer to the ASB Constitution or the CIF Blue Book for eligibility requirements. The Academic Review Board may place students on academic pro- bation or contract if in their judgement the combination grades achieved by a student in any semester warrants such action. The Board recommends the terms of the probation including such pos- sibilities as exclusion from offices, activities, athletic participation and cheer leading. In each case, the Board will attempt to enact such terms as will best motivate the student in improvement or the removal of distractions that may be preventing higher achievements.

Probation​​​

A school may accept a student for admission on probation for an initial trial period if circumstances warrant it.

A school may decide to place an enrolled student on probation as a disciplinary matter. Disciplinary probation occurs when student's behavior has reached a point where a more serious response from the school is required. If the student's behavior does not improve while on probation, the disciplinary process may lead to suspension and/or expulsion​ or withdrawal​. 

The probationary status of the student and the terms of the probation must be clearly documented in writing and signed by the parents/guardians.​

If a school decides to place a student on disciplinary probation, it must insure that the seriousness of this status is communicated to the student's ​​parents/guardians. Due to the great variety of student offenses that can result in disciplinary probation, a school has many options in determining the extent of a student's probation (limiting activities, no athletics, community service, etc.). At the high school level, a High School Disciplinary Probation Agreement (sample) must be completed and signed by parents/guardians.​ https://handbook.la-archdiocese.org/chapter-13/section-13-9/topic-13-9-5​​
