Clubs & Services

Student clubs and performing groups such as the band, choir, speech, and athletic teams may establish rules of conduct and consequences for misconduct that are stricter than those in the Student Code of Conduct and/or Athletic and Activities Code. If a club violation is also a violation of the Student Code, the consequences specified by the district shall apply in addition to any consequences specified by the organization (ie. OSAA).

All student clubs and organizations must have at least one faculty or district approved adult advisor, coach, or mentor. New clubs must apply to and be recognized through the student council before meeting on district grounds. In addition, all clubs should establish a constitution and set of by-laws outlining the purpose of the group and conditions of membership. Groups wishing to open an ASB account need to apply for one through student council.

Academic Advisor/Principal:

All students in grades 9-12 and their parents shall be notified annually about graduation requirements and the recommended classes for students.

Discovery/Advisor Period:

Students in grades 9-12 meet weekly for a 25 minute advisor period. During this time students participate in career and college readiness planning activities, Discovery Program curriculum, as well as class fundraising and spirit projects.

Drug, Alcohol and Tobacco Prevention

Since drug, alcohol and tobacco use is illegal for students and interferes with both effective learning and the healthy development of students, the district has a fundamental and ethical obligation to prevent drug, alcohol and tobacco use and to maintain a drug-free educational environment.

Parents are encouraged to contact the counseling office for information on district and community resources available to assist students in need.

Personal Counseling

A Coos Health and Wellness, certified counselor is available on a regular basis to assist students with a wide range of personal concerns including social, family, emotional, academic, or drug, alcohol or tobacco dependency issues. The counselor may also make available to students information on available community resources and health facilities. Students meeting with the counselor during class times will be excused from the class. Students over the age of 14 can legally make their own medical decisions about their mental health.

Student organizations, clubs or classes, athletic teams, outside organizations and/or parent groups may be permitted to conduct fundraising drives. At no time shall fundraising disrupt academic classes. All applications for permission to schedule/conduct fundraising efforts on school grounds or in connection with student activities must go through appropriate advisors, Student Council and Administration. All funds collected must be deposited with and recorded in the Associated Student Body (ASB) bookkeeping system in the high school office.

Membership in NHS is open to those students whose scholarship, citizenship, character and leadership are of superior quality. New members must meet criteria set by NHS and will be selected by the faculty.

The district provides special services for bilingual students and for those whose disabilities affect the student’s success at school. A student or family with questions about ESL/ELL programs should contact the building administrator.

In order to serve academically talented and gifted students in grades K-12, including talented and gifted students from such special populations as cultural and ethnic minorities, the disadvantaged, underachieving gifted and disabled learners, the district has developed a comprehensive TAG program. For information on all aspects of the district’s TAG program, contact Mr. Hatfield, TAG coordinator, or the Special Services Coordinator.

Bandon School District receives funding from many sources, one of which is Title 1, a grant provided by the federal government. The purpose of a Title 1 program is to improve academic achievement and to provide students with supplemental math and/or reading instruction who need extra assistance to attain proficiency. These services are offered when Title 1 funding is available.
