ACT I VI T I E S & C LUB S Students may participate in more than one activity as long as they do not conflict. The Middle School Philosophy promotes full participation in all extra-curricular activities. In order to provide students with the opportunity to participate in athletics and more than one extra-curricular activity, Wednesdays have been set aside as the meeting date for some clubs and organizations. Students involved in athletics are excused from practice on Wednesday to participate in these other school-sponsored groups. Required meeting dates will be established so students know the dates of meetings they must attend and so advisors to these student organizations will have students in attendance and will be able to accomplish their goals. A copy of this schedule will be distributed to students at their first organizational meeting.
LIST OF ACTIVITIES Our activity programs are grouped into four (4) categories and are governed by eligibility requirements and a code of conduct: » Group A. Athletic Teams » Group B. Non-Athletic Teams that may perform or compete » Group C. Recognized Clubs/Organizations which do not perform or compete » Group D. Honorary Positions ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS Middle School: Non-public school students in grades 6-8 who reside in the district may participate in Group A activities.
