SUPERVISION
Supervision begins at 7:10 am. At that time, children are permitted on the school grounds. Breakfast is served in the cafeteria beginning at 7:10 am. After school all students should be off campus within 15 minutes after the last bell rings, unless arrangements have been made for tutoring or other school activities.
DO NOT BRING
Animals
Pets and other animals are not to be brought onto school grounds at any time. Animals are permitted at school only when needed for instructional purposes and when under the strict control of qualified instructors or handlers.
Please do not walk your dog on campus after hours or on the weekend.
Electronic games and other inappropriate items
Students are strongly advised not to bring electronic entertainment devices to school as it is a distraction to learning and often results in being lost, stolen, or broken. Loss, theft, or damage of such items will not be investigated by school personnel.
Other inappropriate items include but are not limited to poppers, laser pointers, cameras, rollerblades, spray of any kind (cologne, deodorant, etc), permanent markers, liquid white-out, helium balloons, birthday cakes or food with frosting, gum, and glass containers.
STUDENT PHONE USAGE
Cell Phones and Other Electronic Signaling Devices
All students may have cell phones and other electronic signaling devices on school grounds and school buses, at school-sponsored activities, and while under the supervision of district employees. Students may use cellular phones, and other electronic signaling devices on school campus appropriately during school hours (7:30 am to 2:25 pm). Unauthorized use of these devices distracts from the learning environment. School officials, including classroom teachers, may take devices away from students for inappropriate use. Repeated unauthorized use of such devices may lead to disciplinary action.
Students and parents are reminded that during an emergency situation, cellular sites may be overwhelmed due to a high volume of calls. Should this occur, emergency communication could also be affected. It is important that cell phones and other devices be used sparingly so that emergency services have priority to assist the students and staff on the site.
Loss, theft or damage of such devices will not be investigated by school personnel. Students bring such devices at their own risk.
Student telephone calls
Students are not allowed to make telephone calls, except in emergency situations. The school incurs charges for every call made and if all requests by students to use the telephone were allowed, the cost could be substantial. Arrangements for after-school activities, obtaining required books and homework, glasses, lunches, lunch money, etc. should be taken care of in the morning before the student leaves home.
