Report Cards - MHSRA Motion passed Sept 23/95
That if required documentation such as entry forms or report cards are not received after being requested by the secretary, the Friday prior to Monday of call entry, members will be ineligible to enter further rodeos until required documentation is recieved.  Members will be placed on suspension.
Motion passed December 9/95 - That we accept teacher's signature for each rodeo and year end report card in June.  In the event that students do not meet NHSRA standards, students will not compete at National Finals. Suggestion for report card collection that has been done in the past:

1. report card to come in with membership in July/August;
2. one in November at midterm;
3. one in March at midterm (gets eligibility for provincial finals);
4. those that qualify for NHSRF & CHSRF should hand in their final report card at year end so that secretary or someone going to NHSRF or CHSRF has a copy in case eligiblity is questioned.  These report cards can be added to the student's new memberships for the following season.
