Student Activities Code Of Conduct
Download a form here and return it to Brian Nolan, Director of Student Activities.
Purpose:
Participating in student activities is considered an extension of, but separate from, the regular high school program. While the regular curricular program is a right afforded to each student, participation in the extracurricular program is a privilege and as such carries certain expectations beyond those found in the normal classroom situation. The goals of the activities programs are to give students direction in developing healthful living habits, discipline, leadership, teamwork, and respect for rules and regulations. It is to these ends that a student activity code is established for young people taking part in the student activity programs. The students must agree to abide by the following expectations for all four years at Lyons Township High School. The consequences listed below for ALCOHOL, STEROIDS, DRUGS, CONTROLLED SUBSTANCES and TOBACCO are cumulative during the student’s four-year career. The consequences for other school offenses will be dealt with on an annual basis and do not carry over from one school year to the next.
Expectations:
Each activity may establish approved additional expectations.
A. Regularly attend school, practice and events. Participants are expected to
attend school on the day of the activity.
B. Attend a Co-Curricular meeting as a freshmen or first year of co-curricular
participation.
C. The IHSA requires a student to pass at least 20 credit hours (4 classes) the semester
prior to participation and maintain passing grades in 20 credit hours (4 classes) while involved in
IHSA activities.
D. Students must travel on school arranged transportation for all events away from Lyons
Township High School.
E. Students must be responsible for all equipment and/or clothing issued for activity
and the return of such at the end of the activity.
F. Students should attend all Awards Nights.
G. Students should carry the school ID card at all times.
H. Students MUST submit an annual physical for participation in athletic activities.
I. Adhere to all rules set forth in the student handbook not outlined above and display
conduct becoming a District 204 representative, including respect of persons and property at all
times.
(School consequences supersede the Student Activities Code of Conduct when the violation
carries a stiffer penalty.)
