Julius West Middle School
The staff at Julius West Middle School encourages students to participate in extracurricular activities. Afterschool activities are on Wednesday and Thursday afternoons from 3:15 to 4:15.
All activities end at 4:15, and building officially closes at 4:30. All students must be off campus at this
time, either by walking (if normally a walker), by activity bus, or picked up by a parent or guardian.
A brief description of the activities, sponsors, special requirements and fees (if necessary) for participants are
listed in this booklet. In many cases, students may sign up for an activity when it is scheduled. However, in
some cases students must try out or receive a special invitation to join an activity. Activity bus transportation is
available for students who live in our school area. All other students staying for activities must have prior
arrangements to be picked up by 4:15.
Eligibility for Intramural and Extracurricular Activities
Participation in intramural and extracurricular activities requires the payment of an annual activity fee. It is the
student’s responsibility to remain eligible by earning a 2.0 GPA (Grade Point Average) for the previous
marking period with not more than one failing grade (including a reinstatement 2 weeks after the report card is
received). Tutoring and academically related activities are the only exceptions for participation without being
eligible. The principal has the final decision on each petition to participate in an extracurricular activity if a
student does not meet eligibility criteria.
