Background

The Division believes student participation in a variety of school activities which are outside the scope of the regular instructional program help:

1. Develop social, citizenship and leadership skills;
2. Promote school spirit and morale;
3. Broaden student experiences; and
4. Demonstrate school achievements to the community.

The Division further believes extra-curricular and interscholastic programs provide a
positive learning experience.

Procedures

1. The Superintendent expects extra-curricular programs to occur at times that
   minimize interruption of the daily instructional program either through the absence of
   the teacher or through the absence of the student.
