Important Notes
New Start Date for some UPPER SCHOOL
practices:
The IHSA has approved a new fall start date for Girls Tennis, Cross
Country, and Girls Volleyball. It will now coincide with the other IHSA
sport start for Boys Soccer and Golf, which is Wednesday August 13,
2008. This will simplify things for some families, but we realize that
this announcement may be too late for some of you to change your plans. If
this is the case, please just send an email to
kross@elginacademy.org. We
will be keeping formal attendance from the originally posted start date
not the new one.

Starting with the Fall 2006 Freshmen
Class, the format for earning PE credits toward graduation changed.
1. A total of six seasons (equaling 2
credits) are required for graduation - (this did not change).
2. These credits will be accumulated
through participation on EA sports teams as follows (minimum

9th Grade: 2 seasons
10th Grade: 2 seasons or 1.5 if choosing PE Class in the winter
11th Grade: 1 season or 1.5 if choosing PE Class in the winter
12th Grade: 1 season
3. Students may only take the PE
class as sophomores or juniors, and it will count as half of a season.
4. Students must accumulate 5 seasons
by the end of their junior year.
5 Students may accumulate 5 seasons
through independent studies in sports with the appropriate
application, approval, and documentation, but need to play on at
least one school team in their freshman or sophomore year.
6. The classes of 2008 and 2009 can
meet their requirements by completing the 6 seasons by the end of
their junior years.
