The value of co curricular activities can not be denied. A co-curricular activity is defined as a programme or out-of-class
activity, supervised and/or financed by the school, These provide curriculum-related learning and character building
experiences. Co-curricular activities are voluntary, Which are not part of the regular school curriculum. They have no
grade & do not earn any credit towards promotion. It is the intent of the School Committee by this policy to encourage
academic efforts and achievements by the students of the Portland Public Schools.
