Dear Students, Parents, and Guardians, We are pleased to send this booklet to you which shows our Mid-dle/Upper School Club offerings for the first semester of school year 2009-2010. We expect all students from Grades 1 through 12 to participate in at least one after school activity as we aim to help make them well rounded students.

Please fill out the attached form and return it to your child's homeroom teacher by Wednesday, August 26, or drop it off in the activities office, so we can complete the club enrollment process. Clubs will then begin on Monday, Sep-tember 1st and end on Friday, November 27. Because of the nature of some clubs, there may be a limit to the number of members allowed so it is impor-tant that you get your enrollment forms in early or on time, and that you also list back-up options in case you don't get into the first club(s) of your choice. If you have tried out or are trying out for a varsity sport your coaches will en-roll you in those activities as the team selection process is complete so you do not need to fill out a form for them. Please note that students who are absent from their club/activity three or more times within the semester may be asked to withdraw from that club. It is very important that you take your club/activity/team commitments seriously. As you have conflicts you need to discuss them with your advisers and if you need further assistance in working out potential conflicts please come talk to me. Registered Extra-Help sessions do take precedence over clubs, but your club advisers must be notified in advance of that conflict. Generally our Middle/Upper School clubs run from 3 to 4pm, but advisers may adjust that time depending on the nature of the club, and our varsity sports run daily from 4 to 5:45pm. If you do not have a club or an activity on a specific day you may not stay at school and use facilities that are not supervised. We look forward to another action packed year in school activities and thank you for your participation. Sincerely, Stephen B. Davis Activities Director
