Extra-Curricular Guidelines
The Superintendent shall approve all District-sponsored extracurricular and co-curricular activities, using the following criteria:
1. The activity will contribute to the leadership abilities, social well-being, self-realization, good citizenship, or general growth of members.
2. Fees are reasonable and do not exceed the actual cost of operation.
3. Student body desires are considered.
4. The activity will be supervised by a school-approved sponsor.
Building Principal or designee is responsible for the scheduling announcing of student extracurricular and co-curricular activities.
Non-school sponsored student groups are governed by the District’s policy on student use of school buildings.
Scholastic Requirements (extracurricular activities)
In order to remain participants in extracurricular activities, a student must currently have maintained a C average in the academic areas being taught. He/she may have no more than one (1) D grade at any time to remain a participant in his/her extracurricular activity. If a student has more than one D or is failing (F grade) any class he/she will be suspended from the extracurricular activity as follows:
Suspension from participation in extracurricular activities declares an individual ineligible to participate in any scheduled event for a period of one week or until such deficient areas of academic work has been satisfactorily made up, whichever of the two is greater.
Conduct Requirements
In order to participate in or remain an active participant in extracurricular activities, a student is required to have a “meets” average in conduct with no more than one “Does Not Meet” designation at any time. Failure to meet this requirement will result in suspension from activity with the same process as noted in the scholastic requirements.
Note: A student cannot be suspended from an extra-curricular activity if he/she receives a D for Class and a “does not Meet” designation in the same class. This will count as one (1) D as far as eligibility. If a student receives one (1) D grade academically and another “Does Not Meet” in conduct from an area other than the scholastic grade he will then be suspended from the activity in which he is participating. A “Does Not Meet” designation in conduct represents an unsatisfactory performance in student deportment. A student who has accumulated three or more detentions at time of an eligibility check will be suspended from the activity under the conduct requirement component of these guidelines. Any in-school or out-of-school suspensions will be treated in the same manner.
