In recognition of their academic success, all participants of PYFCO who meet the eligibility requirements as identified in the PYFCO by-laws, will receive an Academic All-Star Award. A committee consisting of representatives from each league and one PYFCO Board member as the Chairperson will determine which participants have met the eligibility requirements. The final report card showing grades for the entire previous school year will be utilized to determine Academic All-Star recipients.
Report cards MUST be submitted not later than Friday, September 1, 2023.
Hard copies can be turned into the Grafton Tabb Academic Awards Representative or digital copies can be emailed to [email protected].
Late entries will not be accepted.
2023 Academic All-Star Report Card Grading Criteria
1. All participants MUST meet the PYFCO basic age requirement of being 6 years old by September 30th of the current year in order to be eligible for this award.
2. To qualify for an award, the child's grade point average need to fall into the ranges designated: GOLD 3.51-4.0 Silver: 3.0 - 3.5
Players not meeting the minimum grade point average, will not be eligible for Academic Awards.
How Grade Point Averages are calculated:
To get the average, add up the number of points for each subject that is counted and then divide the total by the number of classes counted.
A - 4, B - 3, C - 2, D - 1, F - 0
You get .3 for a "+" (B+ = 3.3). You get -.3 for a "-" (B- = 2.7).
For an A+, you still get 4.
For children not receiving letter grades, break it down according to the code on the report card - Top level is a 4, Next level is a 3, and so on (example - Outstanding, 1 or "on grade level" = 4, Satisfactory, 2 or "consistently demonstrates" = 3, Needs Improvement, 3 or "below grade level" = 2).
All core subjects will be counted - Reading, English, Spelling, Math, Social Studies, Science, Language Arts, History and Foreign Languages. (NOTE: Not all schools consider Computer Classes a "core" subject. Please only count if it is considered a core subject for child's school.)
Physical Education, Art, Drama, Band, and/or Choir are not considered core subjects.
If there is question as to a child's course counting or not, please reach out to the Grafton Tabb Academic Awards representative for clarification. If need be, the Grafton Tabb representative can ask the PYFCO Academic All-star Chairperson for a decision on whether or not the subject can be included in the calculation for the award.
