We believe that interscholastic activities shall supplement the curricular program, and as such become a vital part of a student’s total educational experience. These experiences contribute to the development of learning skills and emotional patterns that enable the student to make maximum use of his/her education.

Student participation in any part of our activities is a privilege, not a right. This privilege carries with it responsibilities to the school, to the activity, to the student body, to the community, and to the student himself. This participation will help to develop the student physically, mentally, socially, and emotionally.

A very important lesson we learn through interscholastic activities/athletics is that by hard work and dedication we can improve. The Archie R-V School District recognizes we can take the ability given us and through hard work and dedication become anything we desire. If you are willing to recognize the ability you possess and work hard, you can achieve success in activities/athletics no matter what the material success may or may not be.

Good Sportsmanship Code for Players, Coaches, and Fans:
1. Maintain pride in self and school.
2. Strive to keep high standards of conduct.
3. Cheering is always encouraged for one’s own team.
4. No taunts, chants, noises, cheers, songs, profanity, signs or motions directed to the opposing team, coach, school or officials. Treat everyone with respect.
5. No disrespect will be shown to the opposing team during introductions.
6. No noisemakers.
7. Abide by the decisions of officials.
8. Accept victory or defeat graciously.

Archie R-V School officials, coaches of athletic teams, and sponsors of various activities believe that students who are selected for the privilege of membership on teams should conduct themselves as responsible representatives of the school. In order to assure this conduct, coaches and sponsors enforce a Code of Conduct. Furthermore, members of teams must always serve as exemplary of high ethical character and must demonstrate appropriate academic commitment, which is expected from all students. As recognized representatives of their school, members are expected to exhibit appropriate behavior during the season (activity) or out of the season, in uniform or out of uniform, on school grounds or off school grounds.
