St. Elizabeth High School Student Activities ACTIVITY MODERATORSActivity moderators should help students consider the time and commitment involved in each activity. Students should be selective in their choices so that they are not overextended. It is better to be active in a few clubs rather than to have to drop out of many. Stipends are given to moderators and therefore, teachers should fulfill their duties with great care. Since the school is small, it is necessary for almost every faculty member to be involved in some activity. Some after school time may be necessary. If monies are involved, moderators should take care to keep accurate records and notify the Associate Principal of any unusual expenditure. Students should be trained in proper procedures of the club to allow for smooth activities. It is a good place to remind students of their manners and proper behavior particularly outside of school or in a venue which involves outsiders. Publications should reflect the character and nature of a Catholic secondary school. Things should not be done in the name of “artistic freedom” keeping in mind that many of the products of our activities find their way outside the school. If an event occurs that will take the students outside the school property, the Diocese of Wilmington requires that parental consent be given. A Field Trip Authorization Form should be completed for each student. Copies are available in the Faculty Room or from the Associate Principal. Following an activity or event, moderators should give the Dean of Students a report including any information which will help the school determine better procedures for subsequent events. |
