Student Council
Student Council provides opportunities for students to exercise their willingness to serve the school community, both as
representatives and as leaders.
The responsibilities of Student Council are as follows:
Keep and uphold school rules, as well as set positive examples for other students.
Work in collaboration with students, faculty, and administration to generate ideas to improve student life.
Be active in overseeing, coordinating, planning, and attending middle school assemblies and activities (dances, spirit
days, and so forth) under the supervision of the student council advisors, and administration.
Meet with the other STUCO members from all grade levels to discuss events and issues related to Student Council, the
school, and the larger community.
Support the efforts of the community service program at the school through fund-raising and other outreach events.
Student Council membership is a privilege, and students who do not meet their responsibilities may be asked to resign.
R.E.A.L. - After School Activities
REAL Policy
REAL is open for all students who would like to take part in the After School Activities. Registration is administered on a "first
come first served basis". However, in most cases there are places for all interested students. Activities will only run with a
minimum of 10 participants and any activity with less than 10 registered may be subject to cancellation.
R.E.A.L. Activities begin with Extended Learning at 2:45 p.m. which will focus on homework and enrichment skills with the
teachers. A snack will be provided to all those who participate in the tutoring and activity session. Students will transition from
Enrichment to the activity by 3:30 p.m. and end at 4:30 p.m. When selecting activities, please make two choices for each day, in
the event that your first choice is not available. AUS R.E.A.L. is open to all students in the Middle School. Students are expected
to following all behavior and conduct expectations.
Behavior expectations
1. Students are to listen to ASA leaders when they are giving instructions and respond respectfully and positively to
guidelines that may be given according to each environment.
2. Safety rules will be explained and must be adhered to at all times.
3. Students should work cooperatively and respectfully with their peers so that each individual can pursue their activity
without being disrupted or distracted by others.
4. Students should remain on task and make the most of their opportunity to learn and enjoy their time in the activity.
Parents will be informed if their student does not follow the expected behavior. Students who do not follow the expected
behavior may be excluded from the activity.
