Statement of Philosophy

As a participant in co-curricular activities at the Bellows Falls Union High School, students not only access some voluntary learning experiences that involve opportunities beyond the traditional classroom setting, but those students also serve as ambassadors to other schools and the greater Union High School community.  Therefore, the Bellows Falls Union High School Board of School Directors acknowledges the need for additional behavioral expectations for student participants in co-curricular activities.  Compliance with these behavioral expectations is required of co-curricular participants in order to maintain their status as a member of that activity’s group, club, or team.  Failure to meet the behavioral expectations described in the following paragraphs will have the indicated impact on the student’s participation in co-curricular activities.  While the Board fully acknowledges the great value to the overall high school education of active engagement in co-curricular activities and, thus does not want in any way to discourage students from becoming involved in activities, the Board also acknowledges the educative influence that the privilege of participation can have to help students avoid destructive or dangerous decisions.  This certainly can be and should be a part of the learning that happens for high school students through participation in co-curricular activities.

A wide variety of sports, from clubs to varsity, are available to BFUHS students. We take great pride in the efforts of our student athletes and teams.  Students choosing to be involved as team members are taking on a leadership role, and all of the responsibilities and expectations associated with that role.
