G. Extracurricular Policy
1. Participation in any extracurricular activity is a school provided opportunity. These activities are a privilege and an earned extension of the student’s
education; academic classes must take precedence. Staff expect that students develop the life skills that enable them to prioritize full commitment to
academics before extracurricular activities.
In order to participate in extracurricular activities through the entire academic year, students must:
a) Be enrolled in classes at or supported by SHS (e.g. SHS student, approved SHSAA co-op school athlete, Chinook approved SHS homeschool
athletes, Sask DLC SHS designated students).
b) Have all school fees paid including all relevant team/club fees prior to the first competition/event.
c) Uphold and adhere to the Attendance Guidelines as stated in the SHS Student Handbook.
d) Work to the best of their ability and meet all academic expectations throughout the entire academic year.
e) Uphold and adhere to the Student Behaviour policies, as stated in the SHS Student Handbook.
f) Student Athletes Only - uphold and adhere to the SHSAA Code of Ethics for Athletes which states :
● Conduct themselves at all times with honor and dignity.
● Treat visiting teams, spectators, and officials as honored guests.
● Faithfully complete schoolwork as practical evidence of their loyalty to school and team.
● Show that it is a privilege to represent their schools.
● Remember that there is no place in school athletics before, during, or after competition for the use of drugs, tobacco, or alcohol of any
kind.
g) Have SHS Extracurricular Commitment Form signed and on file prior to the first competition/event for each season.
2. School administration reserves the right to remove a student’s opportunity to participate in all extracurricular activities.
3. Should the need arise for a student to serve an out-of-school suspension as determined by school administration, that student will be ineligible to
participate in any and all extracurricular activities for a 2 week period starting the day the suspension begins, excluding school holidays.
4. Extracurricular Eligibility Committee (EEC): The EEC will consist of committed staff members and the Athletic Director for the current school year.
Guidelines for the EEC are as follows:
● The EEC will meet in early September, each week following reporting periods throughout the year, and late June to review
extracurricular eligibility.
● Review student eligibility by looking at repetitive patterns from intervention forms, available attendance reports, and academic standing.
● Review enrollment status, paid fees, and submitted Extracurricular Commitment Forms.
● Refer ineligible students with recommendations to administration via an Intervention Form to determine appropriate follow up with
coach/club supervisor, student athlete, parents/guardians, and/or staff, as required.
Possible interventions may include:
● completion of assignments
● partial removal of extracurricular eligibility
● total removal of extracurricular eligibility
● other appropriate interventions as determined by administration
