File:  JJ - Student Activities
(Cocurricular and Extracurricular)

The Board supports the concept that a wide variety of extracurricular activities should be made available to students.  However, participation in such activities is a privilege-not a right.  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 non-participants 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 should be a balanced program of academic studies and extracurricular activities.

6.  All clubs and groups and their activities shall be supervised by an adult.

7.  Participation in any school or interscholastic school activity may not be barred because of a student's participation in lawful activities during out-of-school hours and off school property.
