Any Athletes that turned in paperwork in the Fall:
For an athlete that turned in paperwork at the beginning of the year, the following is required to start the Spring semester in sports:
An updated transcript with a cumulative unweighted GPA is required. You can turn in a new transcript with the unweighted GPA that includes last semester classes and grades. Alternatively this can be accomplished by filling out an EL9.

Make sure your physical is up to date. These last a year from the date they were completed. For example if the physical was completed in August it will expire in August the following year.

EL2 physical. EL3 signed after your student has watched the required videos, EL7V (form sent to the county and once you receive the completed form you send to my email.

Transcripts
Transcripts – This must included the entire high school academic career up to this point. There must be a cumulative unweighted GPA on a 4.0 scale on the form. If the student has attended any schools that give a transcript (for example FLVS, Dual enrollment at a college, or a public or private High School) you must provide a copy of that transcript for the students records. The 3rd page of the EL7 has a form that you can use for the high school record. Alternatively, as a homeschool parent you may make your own transcript.
To calculate a high school GPA, you can follow these steps:
Convert each letter grade to a number on a 4.0 scale:
A = 4.0
B = 3.0
C = 2.0
D = 1.0
F = 0.0
Add up all the numbers
Divide the total by the number of classes you took
