*When grades are averaged, the final average must be a 90 or above. Students may only have one B to be considered eligible. If grades fall below a 90 average, the student will have 4 weeks to bring his or her average up. Failure to maintain an A average will result in dismissal from Jr. Beta Club.

**If the administration deems that the member has exhibited behavior that doesn’t exemplify outstanding character, behavior, or attitude, or any behaviors of concern as defined by the Henry County Student and Parent Handbook and Code of Conduct, the member will be immediately placed on probation for Jr. Beta Club for the remainder of the school year. During the probationary time, the student will continue to serve as an active member unless the uncharacteristic behavior continues, at which point, the student will be dismissed from the Jr. Beta Club. To remain in good standing, students must maintain the academic and behavior criteria listed above on each report card and model good citizenship throughout the school year. Additionally, students must participate in at least two community service events to fulfill the service portion of the national organization.
