Athletics and Extra Curricular

ATHLETICS

We have fall, winter, and spring athletic programs.  We compete against other middle schools in southern Wake County.  Seventh and eighth graders are eligible to try out for athletic teams.  Athletes and managers must meet eligibility requirements as outlined by the school and school system.  Students are encouraged to attend athletic events and show positive support for our teams.  All school rules and school system policies apply at athletic events.  Students who behave inappropriately at athletic events may not be allowed to attend future athletic events.  Forms may be found online at http://www.wcpss.net/Page/1465. 

Extra-Curricular Activities

In order to participate in and/or attend extra-curricular activities, a student must meet academic and behavioral requirements of the school and school system.  To participate in an extra-curricular activity, a student must have been officially present during the school day.  A student assigned an in-school or out-of-school suspension or alternative learning center for punitive reasons may not attend or participate in extra-curricular activities on the day(s) of the suspension.  Parents are expected to pick up students promptly after the activity has ended.  If this becomes an issue the student may lose the privilege of participating in the activity.  Remember that all school rules apply during extra- curricular activities.  

Clubs and Groups

We offer a variety of activities for students.  Some activities have participation qualifications.  Students who participate in clubs and groups are expected to follow all sponsor, school, and school system expectations.  For detailed information on any club or group, please contact staff advisors.

School Dances

Student dances are scheduled on selected afternoons and evenings to provide supervised social experiences for our students.  Only students who attend our school are eligible to attend dances.  Students must have a signed permission slip by a parent and their teachers to attend the dance.  A teacher may choose not to sign a dance slip if a student has not met class expectations. All school and school system rules and policies apply at dances.  Inappropriate behavior at dances may result in suspension from future dances and/or additional disciplinary action.  Students who serve 5 days of Lunch Detention or 3 or more days in ISS or ALC for punitive reasons at any time prior to the dance may not be able to attend the dance and must receive principal approval in order to attend; students who serve Out of School Suspension any time prior to the dance may not attend the dance. Dance privileges may also be revoked as a consequence for school behaviors.
