Student Co/Extra Curricular Activities

ASB and Class Council

The ASB leaders are responsible for planning school-wide activities and supervising ASB funds. ASB officers meet during the Exploration and can be composed of elected ASB officers, appointed ASB officers, and senators. Elections and appointments are held in the fall. To hold an ASB leadership position, students must purchase an ASB card, meet all Level Up requirements, and agree to the oath of office governed by the constitution.

ASB Cards

ALL STUDENTS PARTICIPATING IN ANY ACTIVITY SANCTIONED BY THE ASSOCIATED STUDENT BODY MUST PURCHASE AN ASB CARD TO BE ELIGIBLE TO PARTICIPATE IN THOSE ACTIVITIES. Most student activities, for example: newspaper, athletics, dances, assemblies, homecoming, etc., are financed by the Associated Student Body fund. The greatest single source of revenue for this fund is the sale of Associated Student Body Activity cards. Students can save in many ways with an ASB card. It provides free admittance to all home regular season athletic events and discounted tickets at away games. Students also can participate in countless other events at a discount, such as plays, dances, choir and band performances, etc. The card may be purchased from the Bookkeeper’s Office at any time during the year but get your card soon to get the most savings possible! If students purchase their ASB before ID cards are printed, the ASB indicator will be printed on the ID card. If the student waits to purchase ASB, they will need to get a sticker to add to their ID card. The price of the ASB card is $60.00. Scholarships are available for students who need support. Each student eligible to participate in the federal free and reduced-price meals program will have ASB fees waived. Please see your ASB bookkeeper, school admin, or school counselor for support. Students with a Gibson Ek ASB card can access events at their home high school for the ASB price.

Athletics

Gibson Ek students may participate in athletics at their home high school. Issaquah, Skyline, and Liberty high schools are members of the KingCo Conference, the SeaKing District, and the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association. Teams compete with other teams throughout the conference and state for league, district, and state honors. For students to participate in any athletic program or cheer/dance/drill, they must:

• Complete online registration via FinalForms
• Maintain academic eligibility per the athletic handbook
• Purchase an ASB card 
• Pay the District participation fee of (scholarships available)
• Return to the coach all previous sports equipment/uniforms issued or pay for them

Gibson Ek students must be on track in level up/graduation requirements to participate in athletics. Students who are not on track with requirements at the end of the term of the home high school WILL be placed on academic probation for three weeks of contests. Students will also continue to have requirement checks every 4.5 weeks and any student who is not meeting expectations will be placed on probation until they are on track with level up requirements. During probation, an athlete may practice with the team, but not participate in contests. At the end of the probation period, progress toward meeting requirements will be checked on their dashboard. If an athlete is on track in all areas, they will be off probation. If progress is still deficient, the student will be placed on a second two-week probation. If a student completes a third probation with out rectifying the situation, they are ineligible for the rest of the season.

Attendance Required for Both Athletics and Activities

A student is expected to be in attendance at all class periods of the day of a practice or event to participate in activities that afternoon or evening. If an athlete is not in all their classes, they cannot participate in practice or an event that afternoon or evening. This expectation applies to all activities, athletics and fine arts events. Participation may be denied for failure to comply with this policy. The only exceptions to this rule are: school related and approved absences (field trips), medical, dental, family emergencies, or legal appointments when appropriate written verification of the appointment from the provider has been submitted to the attendance office upon their return.
