(or the equivalent in value) during his/her high school enrollment in the same high
school. Those additional symbolic awards not exceeding $10 each may be presented for
each inter-school activity each year.
Please note: Sponsors of student clubs and performing groups such as the band, choir,
drill, and athletic teams may establish standards of behavior, including consequences for
misbehavior, that are stricter than those for students in general. If a violation is also a
violation of school rules, the consequences specified by the student code of conduct or by
local policy will apply in addition to any consequences specified by the organization.
Activities Calendar
A calendar of all school events such as ball games, school plays, and other extra-
curricular activities is kept in the principal's office. All extra-curricular activities or other
events related to the school will be scheduled upon approval of the principal. Every effort
is made to keep from having conflicting activities on the same night.
Athletics
The Borden County School provides a sports program during the year for those who wish
to participate. Citizenship of the finest type can and should be developed in our athletic
program. It is the intention of the school to sponsor only athletics that adhere to high
standards of integrity. No student, who does not meet the actual requirements of the
University Interscholastic League and the eligibility requirements established by the State
of Texas, will be used in athletic contests. Failure to meet the requirements will
automatically disqualify any athletic participant.
The principal, in cooperation with a sponsor, a coach, or other persons in charge of an
extra-curricular activity, may regulate the dress and grooming of students who participate
in the activity. Students who violate these standards may be removed or excluded from
the activity for a period determined by the principal or sponsor and may be subject to
disciplinary action.
Band
Participation in band work is mandatory for grades 5-8 and is encouraged for students
grade 9 and up. The school furnishes pupils the instruments; if they choose, the
individuals may furnish their own smaller instruments. The band director should be
consulted as to details concerning becoming a member of the band.
