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.

Attendance Required for Both Athletics and Activities

A student is expected to attend 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 athletics and may apply to select activities. 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.
