RANCHO STARBUCK

ASB/LEADERSHIP APPLICATION FORM

2022-2023

Being a part of ASB at Rancho Starbuck is great fun, but with that comes great responsibility. ASB students are

expected to work extra hours at school and district functions, including before and after school, and even some

Saturdays and late evenings. ASB students are required to attend a number of after school events. Before applying

to be a part of ASB at Rancho, students and their parents need to take into consideration the tremendous time

commitment that will be required of the chosen students. ASB is not an elective. It is a Zero Period. We meet

M-W-F mornings from 7:30am sharp to the beginning of school. Please note this commitment to arriving at

school those three days a week on time.

In addition to an extra workload, ASB students are held to a high standard of behavior and leadership that can be

viewed as a positive example for other students to follow. Students interested in ASB need to be exemplary

students with excellent leadership and citizenship habits, and have no N’s or U’s in citizenship or work habits on

their report card. Successful ASB students are able to follow directions, they are self-motivated, and do not

require constant guidance from adults. These students can be trusted to be out of class, unsupervised at times, and

still make good decisions.

ASB students must maintain a 2.5 grade point average to be chosen and to remain in ASB. It is important to know

that ASB students are often called upon to miss class to plan and set-up for events and to complete projects. Class

work is still required to be finished and turned in on time. Students who might fall behind or struggle in their

academic subjects by missing class should factor this in their decision when considering applying for ASB.

Finally,

1. Applicants are required to submit 1) this completed application and 2) the essay to the front

office at Rancho no later than Friday, April 8, 2022 by 4:00 p.m.

2. The required teacher recommendation is to be returned separately by the teacher to Mrs.

Irving at Rancho Starbuck no later than Friday, April 8, 2022 by 4:00 p.m.

3. Applicants will also need to attend an interview/evaluation at Rancho on either Monday, May 9

from

2:30-4:30 or Tuesday, May 10

from 3:30 p.m. until 5:30 p.m.

Applicants will be assigned to a date and time after all applications have been collected and processed.

4. No incomplete or late packets will be considered.

Thank you for your interest in ASB,

Sincerely,

Mrs. Irving

ASB Advisor

I have read and understand the time commitment that ASB requires. I also understand that I must maintain a 2.5

I understand the ASB requirements as stated above and on the previous page. I believe that my student possesses

the behavior, academic, and citizenship traits necessary to be successful in ASB. I am aware of the time

commitment that ASB requires, and of the possibility that grades may be lowered due to absences from ASB

events for any reason other than illness. I understand that my student will occasionally miss other classes to

prepare for school events and that all classwork missed while participating in ASB events will need to be

completed and turned in.
