Associated Student Body (ASB)
Associated Student Body (ASB)
The ASB – Associated Student Body organization – is the opportunity for students to be part of the decision-making at school. ASB Student Government makes many decisions and sponsors a broad array of activities throughout the year that support student learning and success and that provide many opportunities for student involvement. You can become active in the ASB in a variety of ways. You are encouraged to share your ideas and thoughts with any of the ASB representatives. Your active participation in the ASB Student Government will enrich your middle school years. Elections are held annually for senators, class representatives, and ASB officers. In order to serve as an ASB officer, students must maintain good citizenship and a minimum of a 3.0 GPA. ASB cards may be purchased through the business office or online for $15. The cost is reduced for all students on free and reduced meals. All students who participate in interscholastic sports, clubs, or in any organized student activity receiving ASB funds are required to have an ASB card.
Assemblies
Assemblies
In the course of the year, you may have opportunities to attend school assemblies. Assemblies are presented in order to enrich the basic educational program offered by the school and provide an alternative way of learning. Because assemblies often involve guests to the school, it is important that you are on your best behavior during assembly programs. When you are directed to report to the gym or cafeteria for an assembly, you must remain with your classroom teacher. During an assembly, you are to sit with your classmates in the seats designated for your class. When the assembly begins, you are to stop talking and pay attention to the guest speaker or performers. Behavior protocols for educational/guest speaker/presentation assemblies are much different than those for spirit assemblies. At this type of assembly, students are expected to sit quietly and treat those making the presentation with our 3R's respect for people.
Athletics
Athletics
Before a student may turn out for a sport they must do the following: obtain parent/guardian consent, provide physical and insurance forms, purchase an ASB card, and sign the athletic eligibility participation form. This is all completed online in Final Forms. Any student suspended from school is not eligible to participate in any school-sponsored activity. Athletes must attend at least three full periods on game day or secure administrative approval to be eligible to compete that day in an athletic event. If students let their academic or citizenship performance drop to an unsatisfactory level, they may lose the opportunity to participate in athletic events.

Clubs, Dances & Events
Clubs, Dances & Events
Students interested in joining or starting a club are encouraged to talk with the ASB adviser. In order to be a member of a club, an ASB card must be purchased in the Business Office or online. Club information is available in the main office or on posters throughout campus. Dances are held after school and typically end at 4:00 p.m. If a student chooses to leave the dance early, they may not re-enter and must have permission from a guardian. The school has the same expectations for behavior at these events as when school is in session. It is important that a parent or guardian pick students up promptly at the end of the dance. There are other social events throughout the year, as organized by ASB and PTSA. Watch for emails and posters announcing special events.
Fundraisers
Fundraisers
All school-related fundraisers must be coordinated with the ASB. Only fundraisers that are designed to benefit the school or are charitable causes approved by ASB are permitted on school grounds. If your club or school organization wishes to sponsor a fundraiser, see the Activities Director before beginning the fundraising activities.
