Participation in extracurricular activities at Lake Forest High School is a privilege and demands certain commitments. Lake Forest High School District #115 and the community have a high level of expectation from students who represent our school. Our goal is for students to take pride in themselves and in our high school, and we expect them to take an active role in establishing high standards of conduct for others to follow.

Code of Conduct
A student participating in any non-athletic club or organization will be subject to disciplinary action if any of the three expectations listed below are violated any time during his/her high school career. Repeated violations may result in the student’s exclusion from the activity for the remainder of the current school year.

Expectations
1. A student must maintain a minimum academic proficiency. Eligibility for participation in nonathletic extracurricular activities will be contingent upon the student passing a minimum of four classes each quarter of the school year. Students who do not maintain this minimum level of academic achievement will not be allowed to participate until the conclusion of the next quarter of the school year. Also, a recommendation for academic support services (i.e., Enriched Study, Freshman Experience, etc.) will be made.

2. A student must not have any violation of the “prohibited activities” as stated in the LFHS Student-Parent Handbook. These rules will be in effect whenever the student is UNDER THE JURISDICTION OF LAKE FOREST HIGH SCHOOL. (i.e., AT SCHOOL, SCHOOL SPONSORED ACTIVITIES, AND ALL CLUB/ORGANIZATION FUNCTIONS.) This expectation is in effect the entire year.

3. General Limitations
a. No student participating in a non-athletic activity will knowingly use, attempt to use,
possess, sell, or assist any other student in the use of the following:
(1) tobacco or tobacco products
(2) alcoholic beverages
(3) any form of drugs/drug paraphernalia or look-likes other than those prescribed by a
physician.
This expectation is in effect the entire year.
[Note: Laws governing use of tobacco apply until a student is eighteen years old.]
b. No student participating in a non-athletic activity will exhibit illegal behavior including, but
not limited to:
(1) theft
(2) vandalism
(3) assault
The organization sponsor and the Principal together will determine the discipline for infraction of these rules. This may include but is not limited to the following:
• A suspension from participation in all extracurricular activities for thirty calendar days.
• A written apology by the student to the sponsor and all members of the club/organization.
• A referral to the Student Assistance Program or other school support services that would be appropriate will be made.
