Extracurricular Activities: JJ

The Superintendent supports the concept that a wide variety of extracurricular activities should be made available to students without regard to race, national origin, religion, sex, handicap, or marital status. However, participation in such activities is a privilege--not a right. Students are expected to follow prescribed rules and such activities shall be conducted in accordance with the following guidelines.

1. Activity offerings shall be of sufficient variety and number to meet the wide range of interests of students.
2. Most activities shall be an outgrowth of curriculum activities.
3. All participation shall be voluntary.
4. Guidance shall be offered to encourage nonparticipants who need the activity and to curb the overly enthusiastic from over-participation at the expense of academic performance.
5. The goal for each student shall be a balanced program of academic studies and extracurricular activities.
6. All activities shall be supervised. All clubs and groups shall have a faculty advisor.
7. Activities for public view shall be kept to a minimum. They shall be closely supervised to avoid the expenditure of excessive time and effort by students.
