EDUCATION REQUIREMENTS EXTRACURRICULAR
ACTIVITIES Any student wishing to participate in an extracurricular athletic activity must obtain a physical prior to the first practice. Students participating in any extracurricular activity may not carry any F's at quarter or mid-term. EXTRACURRICULAR
GUIDELINES The student contract states that the student must:
EXTRACURRICULAR
RESPONSIBILITIES If a student receives a D or F at midterm or on their grade card:
Secondly, all parents of children playing on the 5th and 6th grade team need to assist in helping with taking money at the gate, supervising the hall way throughout the entire length of games and pre and post game times, assisting in the concession area and being at the practices. The coaches are not to be the only adult present during practice time. This is against what the Catholic Church says about youth activities and beginning on Thursday, February 2, 2006 this rule will be implemented. Third, the Early Learning Center does not have the staff to watch the children who will be practicing after school. The presumption the parish is going to once again pick up the cost is wrong. It costs money to have someone watch the children between the end of school and the beginning of practice. It is my understanding two teachers have volunteered to host a study hall after school in the cafeteria. Parents whose children will be participating in the study hall should be very thankful to the teachers. Any youth not behaving during study hall will have to call their parents who will need to pick them up immediately. Fourth, coaches and all others who are using the gym, cafeteria, or other places on the school property need to call Kim in the parish office to see if it is possible to use these areas. All buildings and grounds are the sole property of the parish and anyone using the property needs to call to receive permission to use the property. Everyone needs to know things have changed since I have become pastor and principal. Do not continue to do "what has been done in the past" without checking it out first. What has gone on in the past is in the past. PARENT VOLUNTEERS NEEDED FOR HOME BASKETBALL GAMES!!! If you are able to help at basketball games, please contact Misty a.s.a.p. This year, all students need to have adult supervision during ballgames. Students need to be sitting in the gym watching the game or in the concession stand area. They are not to be left to play in the hall.
