EXTRA/CO-CURRICULAR DRUG-ALCOHOL-TOBACCO POLICY
ECCDAT Forms are required for participation in all music department ensembles.
Rule #1:
Do not use or possess any controlled substances, drug paraphernalia, alcohol, or any tobacco products.
Rule #2:
Do not be in attendance at any gathering where there is unlawful use of controlled substances, drug paraphernalia, alcohol, or any tobacco products.
**This policy becomes effective once the Center Grove High School ECCDAT form has been completed by {Name (First):1.3} {Name (Last):1.6}. It is in effect from that point forward 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year, until graduation. By signing the ECCDAT form, parents authorize Center Grove High School to obtain information from police agencies, the probation department, or any other certified source, including CGHS personnel, regarding the events leading up to an arrest, the filing of charges, or any police contact for an act which would be in violation of the stated rules of the Extra/Co-Curricular Drug-Alcohol-Tobacco Policy. High School students in the music program are also required to enroll in the Center Grove Random Drug Testing Program.
General Extra/Co-Curricular Program Regulations:
Participation in extra/co-curricular activities is a privilege extended to individuals who have the physical ability to perform and the moral character to conduct themselves in the proper manner. When students choose to participate in extra/co-curricular activities, they place themselves in the public eye. Participants are expected to behave at all times in a manner that portrays a positive image of them, the teams they belong to and the school they represent. These rules, regulations, and penalties are set forth for CGHS extra/co-curricular activities and are in effect year round.
Social Function Expectations:
Student-performers are expected to leave social events immediately where the illegal use of controlled substances, drug paraphernalia, alcohol, or any tobacco products is permitted by the host. Failure to do so implies guilt, and violators will be dealt with according to the policy.
