TRANSPORTATION / DRIVERS

The normal means of student transportation to athletic events is by buses operated by a carrier licensed by the State of California to transport students. Richmond Transportation is used for most off-campus functions authorized by St. Paul High School. In some cases, students may be transported to authorized off-campus functions by car. The Principal's permission is required in all such instances. This permission will not be forthcoming unless the driver is over 25 years old, insured, properly licensed, and each individual student to be carried has the written permission of his/her parents to be driven with the person. The school is not liable for transportation on non-academic days​

ATHLETIC ELIGIBILITY APPEALS PROCESS​

In compliance with the CIF academic standards, students must maintain a minumum of a 2.0 g.p.a. in order to participate in a sport. Students may only be granted the appeal once in grades 9 and 10 and once in grades 11 and 12. Semester 2 grades may not be appealed because of the benefit of summer school remediation. In order to be eligible for consideration, the student has earned no more than one failing grade (F) and the gpa must be above a 1.5. Regular, and attendance, and satisfactory behavior and cooperation is also required to be eligible for this process. Students are ineligible to participate in CIF sanctioned events until the paperwork is complete and signed by the student, parent, and administrator.
