Student Involvement and Investment Opportunities
DRIVER EDUCATION
Driver Education credit will be granted only to those students who complete the St. Bernard Parish School Board Driver Education Program or similar programs offered by accredited secondary schools. (Proprietary schools have not been designated the approved status by the State Department of Education required for the granting of Carnegie units.)
EXTRA-CURRICULAR/ATHLETIC EVENTS
Students may NOT participate in extracurricular/athletic events after school if they are not present for at least half of the school day. Students who have three suspensions are not allowed to participate in athletics and/or extra-curricular events.
FIELD TRIP POLICY
Field trips can be an important part of the instructional and enrichment programs. When opportunities are available, students must have an acceptable behavior and attendance record and debts must be cleared. In order to attend field trips, a student must have permission from administration, classroom teachers, and a parent/guardian.
The following behaviors will disqualify a student from attending:
- eight or more absences per semester
- eight or more tardies per semester
- habitual Class I Referrals
- one or more suspensions per year
- no debts
While on a field trip, all of the school rules apply. Students who break the rules will have consequences upon their return to school.
LHSAA SCHOLASTIC ELIGIBILITY RULE
The Louisiana High School Athletic Association is comprised of over 400 Louisiana schools. One of its purposes is to protect members of the Association by preparing and enforcing eligibility rules that will equalize and stimulate wholesome competition. It is the responsibility of every athlete to know the LHSAA residence and scholastic rules and to promote sportsmanship. Every athlete must pass scheduled courses and maintain the necessary grade point average in order to participate in any interscholastic contest. Throughout the year athletes are advised of these specific academic requirements.
To be academically eligible for the second semester, a student athlete must earn at least 3 credits at the end of the first semester.
To be academically eligible for the next school year (fall semester) a student athlete must earn at least 6 credits at the end of the second semester with at least a 1.5 grade point average.
QUALIFICATIONS FOR CLASS/CLUB OFFICER/ANNUAL TITLES NOMINEES
A student must have earned a cumulative 2.0 grade point average to be an officer/nominee. While an officer, the student must maintain a 2.0 average and pass a minimum of 3 out of 4 classes per semester. A candidate must also have a satisfactory attendance and disciplinary record. Sponsors have the discretion to mandate higher qualifications for officers and/or membership credentials.
SENIOR RING DAY AND SENIOR PROM
A Chalmette High School student is allowed to participate in Ring Day and/or Senior Prom if the student is a member of the graduating cohort. Seniors must have 18 full credits, and three year graduates must have necessary paperwork completed to participate in Ring Day. A student is allowed to participate in only one Ring Day ceremony. All debts must be cleared in order to participate in Ring Day and purchase Senior Prom ticket. Students or their dates may not have three suspensions in the current academic year to participate in Ring Day or Senior Prom.
