• Student Code of Conduct for Student Activities

  • Eligibility to Participate in Student Activities*

    • Academic Eligibility: Any student who fails TWO or more subjects in a quarter is INELIGIBLE to participate in ANY extracurricular or sports activity for the next quarter. Incompletes and denials of credit for attendance (DCA) are considered failures for this provision. Students may request ACADEMIC PROBATION by submitting a written request, co-signed by a parent, to the Probation Committee, located in the Main Office. The application must be made after the end of the marking period in which you failed two or more courses.  * See Student Handbook for detailed policy.
    • School Attendance Eligibility: To be successful in this endeavor, it is imperative that all members of the school community are aware of this policy, its purpose, procedures, and the consequences of non-compliance. The following procedures shall be implemented to ensure that students, parents, teachers, and administrators are notified and understand this policy. The attendance policy will be included in student handbooks and reviewed by students at the start of the school year.
    • Prohibited Student Conduct: The Board of Education expects all students to conduct themselves in an appropriate and civil manner, with proper regard for the rights and welfare of other students, district personnel, and other members of the school community, and for the care of school facilities and equipment. It is expected that all students conduct themselves in a manner that supports the intent of the Dignity for All Students Act, creating a safe and supportive school environment free of discrimination, bullying/cyberbullying, and harassment. Conduct that creates a hostile environment at school and school-sponsored events is strictly prohibited. This conduct can include but is not limited to conduct threats, intimidation, or abuse that constitutes harassment and/or bullying. All violations of school rules apply to student behavior in school, on school property, on school buses and at school-sponsored functions, and student behavior off school property where such acts create or would foreseeably create a risk of substantial disruption within the school environment or where it is foreseeable the acts might reach school property. Students may be subject to disciplinary action for violations of the Code of Conduct (Policy 5300).
