CLUBS
At the start of every school year, advisors provide information about their clubs
through postings on club bulletin boards, announcements and/or meetings after
school. Club membership is generated through these initial contacts. Students
who miss the initial sign-ups for clubs may contact their Guidance Counselor
for information about club membership.
Club passes for all eligible members are prepared by the advisor and contain
the student’s name, advisor’s signature, name of club and meeting time and
location. Students must have a club pass to be released from their regularly
assigned class for club meetings.
Club meetings are held during the last 45 minutes of each block on designated
club days. A Club Day sign-out sheet is provided to all teachers and students
must sign this sheet before they are released from class. A Club Day attendance
sheet is also provided to all advisors and attendance is taken for students
participating in the club meeting. Failure to sign-in and report to the club
meeting is treated as a class cut. In the event of delayed openings or emergency
school closings, club meetings will be canceled and will not be rescheduled.
Students must have a minimum 2.00 grade point average and no “F” grades to
participate in club meetings or activities. Grades used to determine eligibility will be nine-week term grades only.
