Extramural Activities
| We encourage our students to become part of extracurricular activities because we believe that they are a vital part of the middle school experience. Various school clubs and activities operate throughout the year. Each club is open to any student and although eligibility is not rated as in our SWIC activities, it is expected that each club participant will maintain passing grades and appropriate behavior. Attendance during regular school hours is required in order to participate in after-school activities.
