204-2025 End of Year Activity Eligibility
With many end of year field trips coming up we wanted to review criteria for participation in these activities.
The criteria for all end of year activities for all grade levels is as outlined in our code of conduct. This includes class field trips and 8th grade BBQ. (This does not include promotion.)
1. No Fs
2. Not on the Social Probation list.
1. No Fs
Any student with a failing grade after June 6th will be placed on the social probation list.
Parents and students should monitor grades throughout the end of the year utilizing Aeries.
2. Social Probation
A student earns this status by violating the school's Code of Conduct and P.R.I.D.E. expectations, school board policy, or the law with the resulting consequence being assigned OCR and/or out of school, suspensions. Additionally, students with unpaid fines earn Social Probation status.
Students may remove themselves from “social probation” status by completing an approved “accountability project” as assigned by the SRO office or paying fines.
Please be aware that “accountability projects” can take in excess of two weeks.
Any student still on “Social Probation” will be excluded from end of year extra curricular field trips/activities.
A social probation list will be posted outside the SRO beginning Monday, April 21st.
Students wanting to complete an “accountability project” should contact Ms. Lupe in the SRO to set up a meeting with Mr. Lubrano and Mr. Brown.

Hello South Tahoe Middle School Families,
We’re so excited that winter is here and the snow is falling! We’d like to offer our community a chance to bring a little extra support and adventure into our children's lives—at no cost to families. With the challenges many of our kids are facing, they are eager for fresh air and new ways to build resilience and confidence.
The Courage Project, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization founded by a child psychologist, offers free alpine and nordic skiing, snowboarding, snowshoeing adventures, and mindfulness activities for kids ages 8-14.
