If your child is staying after school for a club, team, or tutoring, they must have a written transportation note on file with the office. All transportation notes must be turned in before 11:00. You can send one note to cover all club and team meetings for the school year. A blanket form is available on the STEMM website, or you can write your own.

Please be courteous of the teachers', sponsors', and coaches' time by picking up your child on time. Repeated late pick-ups will result in dismissal from the activity.

At the Okaloosa STEMM Academy, academics and graduation are the top priority. While we believe that extra-curricular activities are important in a student’s life and their development, they do not supersede the importance of academics. Therefore, eligibility rules have been established to provide a guideline to support students and focus on improving their academic standing. 

1. The STEMM Academy has a NO PASS/NO PLAY policy. Students in activities must pass all credit hours of work each week to be eligible to participate in that week’s activities. 

2. Any student who has two or more Ds/Fs during the weekly eligibility reporting period will be ruled ineligible for participation in clubs and activities. 

3. Any student who has two or more Ds/Fs on their previous semester grades will be ruled ineligible for participation in clubs and activities for the first three weeks of the new semester. 

4. Any student who is absent from school will not be allowed to attend or participate in any school activity held either after school or in the evening on the day which the absence occurred. A student must be in attendance by 11:00 and attend the remainder of the school day in order to participate in an extracurricular activity that day. 

5. Students involved in extracurricular programs that represent the STEMM Academy are expected to comply with the behavioral expectation applicable to all OCSD students.  Disciplinary infractions may cause a student to be ruled ineligible for participation in clubs and activities. 

Along with your transportation note, please email the teacher to let them know you are coming.
