Waivers
- Waivers may be obtained one time during a student’s 4 years in a CNUSD high school if the student has passed a minimum of 4 classes and/or if the student has no more than 2 unsatisfactory citizenship marks on their previous report card. Waivers may not be used more than once during a student’s high school career. We don't encourage 9th graders to use their one time waivers.

- Eligibility/ineligibility shall occur on the first school day following the school-wide distribution of grades.
- NHS staff shall immediately notify student’s parents of the student ineligibility.
- Ineligible students are not permitted to wear the uniform/attire of the team/club/squad at extracurricular activities.
Summer School
- To replace a grade obtained in a class during the previous (4th quarter) grading period, the student must take the same class in Summer School.
- Classes taking in Summer School that are not exact repeats of what the student failed previously will not count either for or against the student.
- Classes taken that constitute new work will be considered an additional class and averaged with the classes taken during the previous grading period when determining the student’s GPA.
- Under no circumstances will a Summer School class make a student ineligible who was previously eligible.
Intermediate School Student Eligibility
