Athletics

We offer students the opportunity to participate in a wide variety of after-school sports and activities. We consider each involvement to be an integral part of what we offer, and urge all students to get into one or more activities. Beginning in middle school, some activities will conflict with other activities and students will have to make choices about what to do. Students must remain in good academic and behavioral standing to participate in athletics at Westfield. Additionally, Westfield Middle School participates in the Northwest DuPage Valley Athletic Conference (NWDVAC) and abides by the standard of eligible participation as stated below:

 

The NWDVAC recognizes that participation in school extracurricular activities is a privilege. Students participating in athletics and extracurricular activities are expected to be in good academic standing along with being an honorable representative of their middle school. Because participation is a privilege and not a right, students are held responsible for their academic levels of achievement and overall school success.

 

Academic success must be adhered to as a minimum standard for participation in extracurricular activities or athletics. The NWDVAC Middle School administrators are responsible to see that only eligible students represent the school in competition. Students choosing to enroll in extracurricular activities or athletics must be passing all classes to have the opportunity to participate in these after school activities. Each conference middle school may have additional requirements, but they may not be less stringent than the conference. Article IV – Eligibility, Section C

 

 

Two evening school dances are typically scheduled each year and are jointly sponsored by our Student Council and our Westfield PTO.  A professional disc jockey will play music in the gym. Snacks and soft drinks are served by the PTO. Tickets are usually $5.00. Only eligible Westfield students may attend the dances. The 8th Grade Graduation Dance is free for all 8th graders in May. All participating students must be in “good standing” both academically and with behavior.

 

Any student absent from school for more than a half day may not participate in any extracurricular-related activity for that day, unless approved by school administration.

 

By law, students who wish to try out for any of our athletic programs (including clinics) must have a yearly sports physical on file in the Health Office.
