EXTRA-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES

Extra-Curricular Activities

Student activities are a privilege afforded to students who choose to be involved. Participation in any activity is determined by the student’s academic and behavior record. Guidelines, eligibility requirements and a contract are sent home with each student at the beginning of each activity. Non-participating students are not allowed to attend practices. Siblings and/or friends will be sent to Angel Care and charged accordingly. Any student not picked up at the end of a practice or a game will be sent to Angel Care and charged accordingly.

Types of Activities

Students may participate in activities such as athletics, student council, yearbook, Scouts, etc. These activities are intended to enhance and complement their academic activities. All activities and moderators are approved by the principal and are supervised by a faculty advisor. Students are encouraged to join an activity to enhance their academic achievements.

Guidelines

• Teacher/coach/moderator of each activity will provide a list of students who wish to participate in the activity to the student’s teachers and school administrator.
• The teachers and administrators will have a reasonable amount of time (usually three school days) to return the list to the moderator. Teachers should indicate on the list any reason why the student should not be permitted to participate (i.e., grades, conduct and/or attitude). Parents should be informed of problem areas. A copy of the list will be given to the principal once the teachers have completed it.

Eligibility

Students must be in good standing, with no recurrent disciplinary actions or referrals. To be eligible to participate in Student Council or sports, the student must maintain

• a passing grade in all subjects
• receive not less than an N in effort, conduct, or specials

Students must meet eligibility requirements in intervals of 10 school days beginning with the first progress report or report card issued after the student enters the activity. The administration reserves the right to prohibit a student from participating in an activity because of ongoing conduct or effort problem or in a case of serious disciplinary matter.

Participation

The student must be in school all day on the day of an activity in order to participate in the after school activity.

Transportation

Athletes’ parents are expected to transport students to their games; all are expected to share the responsibility. Only those adults who have completed the Diocesan required reference, safe environment workshop, and insurance forms might be considered as drivers. No exceptions can be made to this policy. The permission form only allows for transportation to and from the designated location. There should be no stops for gas, snacks, lunch, etc.
