SPECIAL PROGRAMS
Students shall be encouraged to participate in extracurricular activities provided they do not conflict with the instructional program of a normal school day. When a school or the school system cannot for good reason schedule a desirable course or activity within the regularly organized school day, such a course or activity may be provided for before or after the hours of the normal school day or on Saturday. Prior to making such a program or activity available to students, a request in writing must be submitted by the principal to the Associate Superintendent of Instruction for approval.
If a student fails to make up satisfactorily any work missed, that pupil shall forfeit the opportunity to participate in future extracurricular activities which conflict with the normal school day.
