Students who plan to attend a school-sponsored social function in the evening, regardless of the sponsoring group, will not be excused from school for hair appointments, etc., prior to the conclusion of the school day. Only excused absences approved by an administrator will be permissible on the day of the social event. In this case, a school administrator must be notified by a note from the student’s parent or by a telephone call to the office from a parent before dismissal will be granted.

Students will not be allowed to participate in class functions for the following reasons.

• Students who do not attend school on the day of an evening social event, whether they are absent due to illness or suspension, will not be allowed to attend the event that evening.
• Students who have not earned a grade of 65 or above in five (5) classes the quarter prior to the function.
• Students who have any unserved disciplinary consequences or be classified as chronically absent (absent from school more than 18 days for the year).

Students who misbehave at a school-sponsored extracurricular activity are subject to appropriate administrative discipline.
