In order to participate in or attend any school activity, practice, rehearsal or performance, etc., after school, in the evening, or weekend, a student is expected to meet these requirements. Exceptions, with administrative approval, will be made on a case-by-case basis with consultation of parent/guardians and involved staff.

• The student must be in full classroom attendance unless a special arrangement has been made with the school administration.
• The student must be making satisfactory academic progress in all subjects, to be determined by the school. Parents/guardians will be notified by the school (for example. coach, athletic director, sponsor) when students are ineligible for extracurricular activities.
• The student must be in good standing with all administrator issued detentions. Students serving In-School Suspension or Out-of-School Suspension are ineligible to participate in extracurricular activities for that day. Students notified of In-School Suspension or Out-of-School Suspension for the following day are ineligible to participate in extracurricular events on the day of notification. Similarly, students may not be spectators at extracurricular events on the same days described above for participation.
• A student participating in an activity or athletic program will be subject to disciplinary action if he or she violates the Blackhawk Middle School Student Athlete Contract. Violations will be treated cumulatively, with progressive discipline for subsequent violations.

If you need bus transportation to or from school, we can help you with that, as well. Please email Mr. Winters or Mrs. Morong if you have any questions, or call 630-766-2601 ext. 2163 to contact us. (Please leave a message.)

The Blackhawk Choir meets at 7 a.m. every Tuesday and Thursday. All grade levels are welcome to sing in the Blackhawk Choir. Students will learn how to read choir music, develop vocal technique, advance performance skills, and perform in various genres.

A before-school activity bus can be available when indicated on your student registration form. If your student is registered for band, students will attend choir rehearsals once a week on Tuesday mornings.

Various performance opportunities will take place throughout the school year. A calendar will be provided for all concerts and performances.
