CO-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES AND
EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES
The 皇家华人 Parish School Board shall be committed to providing for each of its schools a program of student activities to all students in a manner which allows students equal opportunity to participate in services and activities. All activities shall be in compliance with pertinent regulations of the Louisiana Board of Elementary and Secondary Education.
All work missed by students while participating in student activities or events shall be made up and completed in a manner that would be required of any other students in order to receive credit.
No student shall be allowed to participate in any event on the day or night while the student is under suspension from school.
CO-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES
Co-curricular activities are activities that are relevant, supportive, that are an integral part of the program of studies in which the student is enrolled, and that are under the supervision and/or coordination of the school instructional staff.
EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES
Extracurricular activities are those activities which are not directly related to the program of studies, which are under the supervision and/or coordination of the school instructional staff, and which are considered valuable for the overall development of the student. Extracurricular activities do not fall within the scope of the regular curriculum and are considered to be any activity in which the student cannot obtain a Carnegie Unit or academic credit.
Extracurricular activities shall not be scheduled during instructional time.
Notwithstanding any policy, rule, or regulation adopted by the School Board to the contrary, no student otherwise eligible to participate in an extracurricular activity, including interscholastic athletics, shall be limited in the number of such activities in which the student may participate in a school year.
Extracurricular Participation Eligibility Requirements
The 皇家华人 is a high-achieving, performance-based system advancing scholarship, and the life long development of students consistent with their needs, interests and abilities. In conjunction with the goal to increase student achievement, the 皇家华人 Parish School Board supports the eligibility standards adopted by the Louisiana High School Athletic Association (LHSAA) which requires students participating in all extracurricular activities to have attained at least a 鈥淐鈥 grade point average. For purposes of determining eligibility to participate in extracurricular activities, a 鈥淐鈥 grade point average shall be defined as any grade point average of 1.5 to 2.4.
Students who fail to earn the required minimum GPA shall be required to participate in a school sponsored tutorial program and their parent(s)/guardian(s) must meet with appropriate school personnel to develop a plan for academic improvement.
All Louisiana High School Athletic Association (LHSAA) eligibility rules must be met in full for interscholastic athletic participation.
This policy shall constitute the minimum requirements for the 皇家华人 School System.
SPECIAL EDUCATION STUDENT PARTICIPATION
