Weekly Update

Below is the information from the student handbook regarding a student in good standing. Please note that students not in good standing will not be permitted to attend Homecoming until they have been restored to good standing. Homecoming tickets will be on sale soon so it is important to confirm your standing as soon as possible.

STUDENT IN GOOD STANDING - The Northern Burlington County Regional School District recognizes that participation in extracurricular activities is an important part of a student’s school experience. There are many academic expectations in addition to social activities that enhance a student’s high school experience. We support these social events as privileges for students who have demonstrated academic achievement, good attendance, and appropriate behavior throughout the school year.

Benefits of being In Good Standing include, but not limited to:

• Attending Blue/ Grey Night, Homecoming Dance, Prom, and Graduation.

• Approval to attend non-NB events requiring Administrative recommendation.

• Attending school sponsored extracurricular field trips, including Renaissance BBQ, Band Trip, Senior Class Trip, etc.

• Earning Senior parking privileges.

Students will fall Out of Good Standing if:

• Required Documents: Have not submitted- Emergency Information Form, Parent/Student Consent Form, and Federal Impact Aid Form (Oct.)

• Attendance: Students who have exceeded the attendance policy.

• Discipline: Two or more suspension occurrences (ISS or OSS) and/or 22 accumulated points within the school year. Any single offense deemed especially serious by the Administration prior to the date of the privileged event.

• Obligations and Fines*: All obligations and fines must be paid in full prior to the privilege or event. Event tickets and parking permits cannot be purchased unless all fines are paid.

Please note: Monies paid are non-refundable for events like the Senior Class Trip and Prom if a student is not in good standing at the time of the event and/or time monies are due in full. *Will impact PowerSchool Access.

It is the student’s responsibility to monitor his/her status as a Student in Good Standing.

The week of October 6 is the statewide observance of Week of Respect. This is a time when all schools in New Jersey take time to engage with the students to encourage positive behavior between students and reduce (and hopefully eliminate) bullying. As part of the observance, the students in the high school will have different activities during homeroom. Link to Tuesday’s Video
