1. The “QUALITY COUNTS” Rule – Students are encouraged to participate in activities at CCHS.

activities during a given school year.

3. Students are required to attend at least 60% of the meetings or functions to maintain active status in the

CONDUCT OF A CCHS STUDENT EXTRA/CO-CURRICULUAR ACTIVITIES PARTICIPANT

It is an honor and a privilege to represent your school. It is not a right. As a participant on a Cornwall team,

you represent yourself and your family as well as your school and your community. Your conduct before,

during, and after games will reflect on you and everyone else associated with your school and the school

district. The most important of these responsibilities is to broaden and develop strength of character. You owe

it to yourself to get the greatest possible good from your secondary school experience.

We want our clubs and activities teams to succeed. Cornwall teams are recognized for their commitment to

excellence, drive to succeed and dedication to sportsmanship. Student participants who have preceded you

have set high standards, and your challenge is to meet the standards they have set.

Being on an extra-curricular team or club may require sacrifices. You must make choices between all of the

activities that are appealing to you and your commitment to your teammates and advisors. Attending practices

and competitions is an essential part of that commitment. Participants are expected to attend all practices and

competitions set forth by their advisor. Maintaining your academic standing is crucial to being a student-

participant. Choosing not to consume cigarettes, drugs and alcohol are a part of that commitment. Being

present at any time where illegal or dangerous activity is taking place is not meeting your commitment to your

15

team and is not condoned. Should you ever find yourself in that situation, you are required to leave

immediately.

As a Cornwall participant, you are expected to abide by all school rules and regulations. By participating in

extra/co-curricular activities to the maximum of your ability, you are contributing to the reputation of the

school. Therefore you are expected to conduct yourself properly, as ladies and gentlemen, at all times. You

will respect opposing teams, advisors, and all officials/judges. You will display good sportsmanship at all

times.

Most importantly, you are expected to treat people with respect. Hazing, harassment or any form of behavior

which is intended to degrade, demean, humiliate, place at risk or cause physical or emotional harm will not be

tolerated.

REMINDERS about Fundraising:

o Fundraising cannot involve any form of gambling (50/50, BINGO, etc.) if students under 18 will be

involved (this includes selling tickets).

o Fundraising cannot endorse a private business. You may not ‘advertise’ the name of a private business as

schools are prohibited by law from doing so. (i.e. cannot put the name of a restaurant and say shop there

and 10% of bill goes to group).

o Fundraising cannot disrupt the educational setting.

o Any fundraising involving food that does not meet the nutritional guidelines found in the following link

https://foodplanner.healthiergeneration.org/calculator/ and must happen after 2:30 PM and prior to

midnight. Ms. Koudounas, Director of Food Services (x7704), is available to answer questions about

what foods can/can’t be sold.
