English term or phrase: citizenship
I'm not sure that ciudadanía would be the correct term in this context....It's in a form that a student and his/her parent's must sign and return to the teacher.

Verbatim: Please sign this notice so that my teacher knows that you are aware of this problems and that you know my academic or CITIZENSHIP grades will drop significantly if this continues.

Hi Hardy,

In Bolivia, we called this "cívica," which refers to civic acts, patriotic festivals, and overall patriotic behavior.

Hope this helps.
