44. EXTRA-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES
Students who wish to participate in extracurricular activities must have met and continue to meet the following criteria:
Junior High Academic Decathlon Team
To determine eligibility for the decathlon team, the Jr. High faculty and principal review the student's standardized test scores and report cards from the previous two years. The results of a Logic test may also be included in the assessment. Each student's work ethic, commitment to excellence, and team spirit weighs heavily in the selection. Eligible students receive a written invitation to be on the team from the school administration.
Student Council
To run for a Student Council position in May, students must meet the following qualifications:
- Be in grade 6 or 7
- Have a 2.5 grade point average with no "F's" on the second trimester report card
- Have at least an "S" in general conduct
To run for one of the four main offices of Student Council, students must meet the following qualifications:
- Be in grade 6 or 7
- Have a 3.0 grade point average with no "F's" on the second trimester report card
- Have a "G" in general conduct
Final acceptance to run for office will be based on the final report card. The student's parent, teachers, moderator, and principal must sign a Student Council petition. These academic behavior standards will continue during the year. If, during a season or trimester, the student does not meet these requirements, the student may be suspended from Student Council until grades or conduct improves. All students are eligible to participate in elections for class representatives. The school administration reserves the right to use its discretion for exceptions to this policy.
Members of Sports Teams, Chorus, Cantors, Cheer Team, and Altar Servers
To try out or apply for these teams or positions, students must meet the following qualifications:
- Have a 2.0 grade point average for all subjects
- Have no "F's" in conduct on the most recent report card or progress report
If, during a season or trimester, a student does not meet these requirements, the student may be asked to "sit out" until grades or conduct improve. The school administration reserves the right to use its discretion for exceptions to this policy.
*Students may not participate in extra-curricular activities if they have not attended a full day of school that day.
