**PLEASE NOTE: All Clubs must hold either an official meeting or activity
a minimum of once a month (between October-May) to remain active
If you do not hold meetings/activities at least ONCE per month,
your club will be on PROBATION and will not be able to be active for the next school year
Clubs/activities MUST follow these procedures to remain active clubs.
Clubs not following these procedures will be removed from the active list.
Meeting Scheduling Procedures:
All Clubs must hold either an official meeting or activity a minimum of once a month to remain active
For Single Meeting Dates: When a club has a meeting, it must first be approved by the club advisor, THEN email Ms. Debbie Barr (dbarr@chclc.org) at least 72 hours prior to that meeting date with the following information: Date, Time (start & end time), and Location. COPY YOUR CLUB ADVISOR ON THESE EMAILS
For Regular Recurring Meeting Dates: If a club has regular, recurring meetings, it must first be approved by your club advisor, THEN email Ms. Barr (dbarr@chclc.org) the following information ASAP: Specific Dates, Time (start & end time), and Location. COPY YOUR ADVISOR ON THESE EMAILS
ANY MEETING or CLUB EVENT (in person or online) must have an advisor present for it to be considered a school sanctioned meeting
Posters/Flyers
All posters and flyers must be approved either by Mrs. Sassinsky or Ms. Barr before they can be posted. The following guidelines are in effect for posting of information:
Ms. Barr or Mrs. Sassinsky will stamp your flyer, and then you can make no more than 20 copies OF THE STAMPED FLYER to hang up around the school. Also, any poster you have must be stamped for approval. If there is no stamp on it, it will be taken off the walls
Posters and flyers should be posted on designated Activities bulletin boards throughout the school
Flyers can also be posted on walls in water fountain areas
Flyers CANNOT be posted in hallways above lockers, on any glass in the building, or in bathrooms
Use scotch tape or masking tape to hang flyers (DO NOT use duct tape or any tape that can chip the paint on the walls)
All flyers must be removed within 48 hours of holding a meeting
Social Media
Social media accounts are helpful so that others can learn about the club, club meetings, club events, and easily join. If your club creates an official social media account, students must have all posts pre-approved by their advisor. All clubs must also have at least 1 non-social media way of communicating with members (Google Classroom, Remind, Club website, Emails, Flyers, etc.)
Fundraising/Charitable Drives (All SGA/Clubs/Activities/Sports MUST follow this procedure)
If you are doing an after school fundraiser, make sure your ADVISOR is able to be at the table with you BEFORE emailing Ms. Barr. Clubs are not allowed to sell after school without an advisor present.
Clubs must email dbarr@chclc.org AND copy your club advisor:
Student's Name
Club Name
Brief Description of the Fundraiser/Charitable Drive
Date/Date(s) & Times for the Fundraiser/Charitable Drive (check the calendar below for available dates)
Please request at least 2-3 weeks before your potential start date
Ms. Barr will contact the email address you provide within 3-4 days of your request to either request more info or to let you know that your fundraiser/charitable drive has been approved
No fundraiser/charitable drive can be advertised until you have received approval from Ms. Barr (email dbarr@chclc.org with any questions)
If you are looking to do a Charitable Drive, you can only do ONE per school year
You must have the dates of the drive approved by Ms. Barr (no more than 3 weeks total for the drive)
You must decorate a donation box for your drive - it must look nice and presentable, and clearly state exactly what donations you need
You need to advertise and hang flyers/post on social media AT LEAST 1 full week before the drive
*We need to make sure that fundraisers are appropriate, do not conflict with other clubs/ activities running similar drives, and follow school board policy. This is not meant to deny any fundraiser/ charitable drives, but to make sure we have a record of the activities that we do.
**Fundraisers include anything that asks an entire class or the school to support your club/activity like a restaurant night, food sale, etc. Charitable drives include anything that requires students/community members to bring items to the school for a donation like clothes, books, etc.
ONLY SOPHOMORES and JUNIORS (Freshmen and Seniors cannot start a new club, but can join ANY club) who have ideas about new clubs are welcome to fill out a new club proposal form any time between 9/2/25 and 10/1/25. Our goal is to make sure the new clubs do not overlap with existing clubs because we have limited space, resources, advisors, after school fundraising dates, etc.
We will POSSIBLY have a second activities fair in the middle of the year (depending upon timing...we may not be able to squeeze it in at all) and the newly added clubs are welcome to participate.
.
ALL CLUBS: Make sure to keep in touch with your CLUB ADVISOR, so that they know you will be moving forward with your club in the 2025/26 school year. Advisors that do not hear from their students will assume the club is not moving forward.
**If you did not submit a "CLUB RENEWAL FORM" last school year, your club is not going forward this year.
Individual students cannot submit more than 1 new club request
If you wish to submit a NEW CLUB, you can only SUBMIT the completed form below (it must be completely filled in between SEPTEMBER 2nd, 2025 - OCTOBER 1st, 2025 - no new clubs can be submitted after 10/1/25).
That means that you have to find an advisor for your club. We cannot find an advisor for you.
Please note that if your club is approved, you will receive a packet of information (that you need to keep), and you will have 2 weeks to fill out a CLUB CONTRACT FORM to make your club official.
**No new clubs can be created between OCTOBER - AUGUST**
DUE BY Friday, May 30th, 2025
Clubs needed to submit their signed intent to renew sheet to the Activities Office (Ms. Barr – Secretary of Activities, or Mrs. Sassinsky – Coordinator of Student Activities) by FRIDAY, MAY 30th, 2025. Clubs that did not hand in an intent to renew sheet have now been placed on the inactive list and will have to go through the new club process at the start of the 25-26 school year. Since you need the name/contact info for your new Club President, you must have elections for the 25-26 school year prior to this due date
