S. EXTRACURRICULAR SCHOOL ACTIVITIES AND ORGANIZATIONS<br />

Extracurricular Guidelines<br />

As a general policy, all organizations and extracurricular activities will relate to, support, and<br />

improve the school curriculum, morale and standards of student life. Every organization must have<br />

the explicit approval of the principal in order to be a part of the school. Fraternities, sororities and<br />

social clubs, in accordance with state law, are not to be in the public schools.<br />

All school organizations, student and parent, will be under the direction of the school principal. All<br />

meetings, projects, activities and social functions must be approved by the principal. Funds from all<br />

organizations are to be deposited in the school agency account.<br />

Student participation in extracurricular activities must be limited to the extent that no student misses<br />

more than 10 days during the school year. This includes activities either on or off campus. No more<br />

than 7 of the 10 days may be used in one session.<br />

A student will be suspended from participation in any extracurricular activity sponsored or<br />

sanctioned by the district or the UIL after a grade reporting period in which the student received a<br />

grade lower than 70 in any academic class other than an identified honors or advanced class. A<br />

suspension continues for a three week grade reporting period and is not removed during the school<br />

year until one of the following conditions are met:<br />

1. The school year ends<br />

2. The student's grade in each class (other than identified honors or advanced class) is equal to<br />

or greater than 70 at the end of the following three-week review period.<br />

A "grade reporting period" means:<br />

1. The six-week grade reporting period; or<br />

2. The first six weeks of a semester and each grade reporting period thereafter.<br />

The principal and each of the student's teachers will make the determination concerning the student's<br />

grades.<br />

A student suspended under this section may practice or rehearse with other students for an<br />

extracurricular activity, but may not participate in a competition or other public performance.<br />
