EXTRA-CURRICULAR & ENRICHMENT
CLUBS & ORGANIZATIONS At Smitha we encourage students to become a part of clubs and organizations to enrich their middle school experience . Students who do participate must complete a form granting permission from parents / guardians . With participation in these activities comes responsibility . For example , when students participate in these activities , they are representing Smitha not only on campus , but also , in some instances , in the community ; therefore , students who violate the District ’ s Student Code of Conduct policies or experience significant academic difficulty are subject to a probationary period with their membership or students may be prohibited from participation .
INTRAMURALS Intramurals are an extension of physical education that provides an opportunity for team competition utilizing skills learned in the physical education classes . Intramurals are scheduled in the morning before school by the PE staff . Intramurals are a privilege . All school rules apply , and the local school administration or intramural sponsors will have the right to revoke this privilege based on student conduct .
FIELD TRIPS Smitha field trips are funded through parent / guardian donations . These donations are requested and collected to enable every student to participate .
