Quail Run Extracurricular Clubs
The clubs listed below are extracurricular activities. Students must keep good academic grades and good conduct grades in their classes. The students must also display good behavior and participation in club activities. Please carefully read the club objectives and guidelines. Due to such a large student body in our upper grades, students are limited to participation in two clubs.
Also, please notice the times, days, and number of meetings per month. Students will be required to be on time and to be present except for illness. We will send home a form for you and your child to look at. We will need it filled out and returned promptly. Calendars with the club dates will follow.
