ALBANY COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT #1

Laramie, WY

ACTIVITY CONDUCT CODE CONTRACT

_______________________________ ____________

Participant’s Name (Please Print) Date

Participating in activities associated with school is a privilege; not a right. Your conduct at all these activities directly

reflects on your school, other students, and the district as a whole. As a result, your conduct while representing your

school at these activities is held to a higher standard, not only while you are participating, but the rest of the time, too. The

Albany County School Board’s policy is as follows: Any student elected to student offices or representing his./her school

in extra-curricular activities should maintain good citizenship, both in and out of school. Any student who does not

maintain good citizenship may not be allowed to represent his/her school in those elected or extra-curricular activities, as

determined by the principal, for a period of time, not to exceed twelve (12) months. (Albany County School Board Policy

Manual, Chapter VI, Section 20.) Furthermore, Albany County School District One is a member of Drug Free Schools

that enforces federal regulations and penalties to those who use and/or possess drugs and/or firearms on school property or

during school-related activities.

As a result of these conduct requirements by all students who participate in any extra-curricular school activity, you and

your parents are asked to sign the following activity code of conduct contract. Make sure you and your parents read and

understand this contract thoroughly before you sign. YOU WILL BE HELD TO THIS CONTRACT.

This conduct code applies to all participants in extra-curricular activities sponsored by Albany County School District #1.

A. I agree that I will not, while at school or at a school-sponsored event:

1. Engage in acts of unsportsmanlike/inappropriate behavior (including, but not limited to, fighting while

participating in the activity; verbal abuse of other participants, officials, or spectators; insubordination

directed at coaches or sponsors; violations of federal, state, county, or city laws).

2. Wear clothing that pertains to alcohol, tobacco, drugs, or conveys vulgar or profane message. If so, I will be

asked to remove the apparel, and if I refuse, the Activity Conduct Code Contract will be applied.

3. Knowingly be present where illegal use of alcohol or use of illegal drugs is taking place even if it is off

school grounds or at non-school activities.

B. I agree that I will not, at any time, while on or off school grounds, in or out of school:

The above activity code violations are minimum consequences which may be adjusted for steps one through four if the

conduct is either seen as habitual, abusive or excessive as determined by the building Principal/Asst. Principal after a

conference with the student. All consequences for students’ violations begin at the time school administration is made aware

of the infraction, has had time to fully investigate the infraction, and has decided upon an appropriate consequence for the

infraction.

 Any recommendations for expulsion would also carry (1) year ineligibility from activities.

 Any student that self-reports their first violation of the Code of Conduct within 30 minutes of the start of the next

school day (or 48 hours after the infraction during extended school breaks) to a school administrator will receive a

one-time only reduction of up to half the assigned consequence. If another infraction happens it will be treated

as the second infraction.

 After 12 consecutive months, without a violation, the next offense will be considered a first offense.

 The education and counseling is possible at each level as outlined in the activity code counseling rule.

This is done on a voluntary basis and is the responsibility of the student and parent.
