3. The Code of Conduct
It is the belief of the School District of Hatboro-Horsham that participation in any extra-curricular activity is a privilege, not a right. Students that volunteer to participate in these programs are expected to accept the responsibilities associated with this privilege. These students, as well as their parents/guardians, must also realize that because of their choice to participate in these activities, they have a lesser expectation of privacy than other students. Participants are representatives of the student body as well as the school. Therefore, participants are expected to represent themselves, their activity, their school, their parents, and their community favorably at all times.
*When in doubt, look to the student/parent handbook
