In order to help build a stronger student community and encourage school spirit, the school will organize a variety of activities throughout the school year. These activities are provided using student activity fees collected at the beginning of each year. To help plan and conduct activities, the school enlists the help of an elected Student Council with the guidance of a faculty advisor.
The Executive Student Council will consist of a president, vice-president, and secretary from 7th and 8th grades. They will be assigned to an advisory class, with the Student Council advisor, where they will meet daily to plan activities for the student body. Each advisory class will also elect a class representative for the Full Student Council, who will meet as needed during advisory time.
Student Council members represent South Fremont Junior High and as such should strive to always exemplify high quality character and behavior. All Student Council officers, including class representatives, must maintain a minimum of 2.50 GPA and must be in good standing in the school. Excessive absences, tardies, or discipline referrals may result in Student Council members being placed on probation or being removed from office.
SFJH Sport Participation Rules (click here) As a seventh and eighth grade student, your child may have the opportunity to participate in a number of sports programs including the following: cross-country, girls volleyball, boys wrestling, girls basketball, boys basketball, and track. Sixth grade students may be allowed to participate in cross-country, wrestling, and track, at the discretion of the coach and the school. These sports activities involve competitions with other 3A (and occasionally 2A) schools in the 6th District as part of the Frontier Conference. All teams will follow the Frontier Conference Bylaws.
Students are encouraged to participate in extra-curricular activities; however, participation is a privilege, not a right. Students must meet the following criteria to participate in any Frontier League Conference activities: 1. Participants in athletic activities must have written evidence from a licensed Idaho physician that he/she is physically fit to participate in that particular activity during the required years. 2. Typically, student physicals are valid for two (2) years and are generally completed the 7th grade year. Interim questionnaires and permission forms will be required for the other years. 3. Participants must have parent or guardian written permission. 4. He/she shall honor the training rules set up by the coaches and principal. 5. He/she shall report to his/her coach immediately any injury received in a practice or a regular game. 6. He/she must maintain academic eligibility (see “Academic Eligibility”). 7. All associated fees must be paid prior to the first competition unless specific arrangements have been made with school administration. Students who start a sport after 66% of the competitions have occurred will only be required to pay one half of the associated fees, otherwise late starters will be required to pay the fees in full. Statisticians must pay travel fees. 8. All participants must be in attendance at school at least four (4) class periods during the day of the activity, otherwise participation in that activity is prohibited. This applies to practices as well as games. Exceptions may be made in advance by the principal in unusual circumstances. 9. Students who are absent due to school-sponsored activities are expected to contact their teachers prior to their absence to make arrangements for work. 10. He/she must not be a discipline problem in any class.
Offensive language including profanity, racial or ethnic slurs or other intimidating actions directed at officials, event staff, student-athletes, coaches, or team representatives will not be tolerated and are grounds for removal from the competition site. Repeated or habitual demonstrations of poor sportsmanship may result in players being permanently removed from the teams at the discretion of the administration and/or coaches.
1. Students must earn a 2.0 GPA or higher AND have no Fs for the reporting period or mid-term check directly preceding the start of the sport. Students who do not meet the minimum grade requirements PRIOR to the start of the sport (including tryouts) will not be permitted to try-out for the team.
2. In the event that a student’s grades fall below the 2.0 GPA or the student has one or more Fs during the season, he/she may be allowed to practice (at the discretion of the coach), but he/she will be ineligible to dress down, participate in competitions, or travel with the team until the grades meet the requirements and are verified by the athletic director and/or the principal.
