LAMAR HIGH SCHOOL
EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES HANDBOOK
The Board of Education believes that student activities sponsored
by the Lamar R-I School are a vital part of the total educational
program and should be used as a means of developing wholesome
attitudes and good human relations, as well as knowledge and
skills. The board further recognizes that not all of the district's
goals and objectives can be met in formal classroom study.
Therefore, the district's extracurricular activities program will
provide opportunities for student participation in activities
designed to meet leisure, recreational, social and emotional
interests and needs.

The sports program will be under the direction of the

administration and athletic director. The chain of responsibility
for the Lamar sports program will be as follows: administration,
athletic director, head coaches, assistant coaches.
The head coach of each sport will be responsible for developing
and coordinating training programs to include conditioning,
fundamentals, and practice schedules. If there is a conflict in
scheduling between a middle school team and senior high team,
the head coach will resolve the problem.
If more than one sports team will be practicing during the same
season, the head coaches will work out a schedule suitable to
them. If disagreements arise, the problem will be settled by the
principal.
The athletic director and principal need to be notified of practice

cases of unsportsmanlike behavior even though officials
may not do so.

will be expected to reply in writing to the office as to
why it was necessary to receive the ruling. The office
has to explain to MSHSAA every time such a report
comes in and must assure them it will not happen again.
As you can see, this becomes
increasingly difficult after the first time.)

unnecessarily abusive towards officials or other teams will
be asked to leave the gym or field both at home and away,
and their admission will be refunded.
