Berlin Brothersvalley School District

Extra Curricular Code of Conduct

Berlin Brothersvalley School District views its extracurricular and co-curricular programs as extensions of the classrooms. While these programs are also recreational, we hope students will learn worthwhile lessons of teamwork, discipline, hard work, cooperation and fitness. The coach/advisor is considered first as a teacher, teaching skills and reinforcing the other qualities that we hope to see in participants. He/she has authority similar to that of a teacher in the classroom. Likewise, students and their parents also have an obligation to conduct themselves appropriately. 

Participation in extracurricular activities is a privilege, not a right, which is provided by the district. As such, the school has the authority to establish expectations for those individuals involved in such activities. The school holds these expectations for their programs in the interest of maximizing the programs’ benefits to students and for their smooth operation. The expectations are designed to be a set of principles and standards that guides students in taking acceptable and approved actions. In all cases, a student must pursue a curriculum defined and approved by the principal and that meets the PIAA standards for eligibility in extracurricular activities.
