Standards of Behavior
Sponsors of student clubs and performing groups such as the band, choir, and drill and
athletic teams may establish standards of behavior—including consequences for
misbehavior—that are stricter than those for students in general. If a violation is also a
violation of school rules, the consequences specified by the Student Code of Conduct or by
local policy will apply in addition to any consequences specified by the organization’s
standards of behavior.

Parent Booster Clubs

Parents are encouraged to become involved in the school activities of their sons and
daughters. Whenever possible, Parent Booster Clubs may elect their own officers. All
activities must be coordinated and approved by the class/club/organization sponsor they
are associated with and cleared by the principal and S.B.D.M. Committee.

All monies raised must be deposited in the ACCOUNT of THE
CLUB/CLASS/ORGANIZATION. All money transactions must go through the principal’s
secretary.
