School Visitor Policy

For the safety of students and staff, all visitors, including volunteers, must check in at the school office upon arrival. A visitor badge will be provided and should be worn while on the premises. Please sign in your name, reason for visit, and the time you leave the premises.

School Property

The orderliness and appearance of our school reflect our care, school pride and spirit. Therefore, all students should take care of whatever school property is allowed for his or her use. This includes desks, furniture, books, library materials, playground and sports equipment. Gum is a hazard to equipment and property and may not be chewed on school property or at school events.

Fines equal to the repair or replacement costs are required for loss or damage to school property resulting from carelessness or negligence. Accidental damage to school property must be reimbursed as part of a student’s social responsibility.

Personal Property

The student’s name must be clearly marked on all items that are personal, including uniform sweaters, outerwear, lunch containers, and school materials. Materials that are lost are kept in lost and found located in the auditorium. At the end of the school year they are donated to the local clothing bank. Please check lost and found frequently.

Students may bring personal possessions (toys, cd/radios, etc) to school with prior permission of the teacher or Principal. This is not encouraged.

Telephone Use

The school telephone is a business phone. Permission will be granted for student use in a case by case manner. Because we expect students to be responsible citizens, use of the phone will not be permitted to make arrangements to go to another’s student’s house after school. If a sports practice or other school event is cancelled, calls will be permitted to arrange rides home.

Pictures

Group and individual pictures are taken each school year for purchase by the family. The dates will be noted on the monthly and school calendar. All students are required to have pictures taken for purposes of confidential permanent records. However, purchase of pictures by parents/guardians is strictly optional.

Students and a moderator compile a yearbook each year. All students may purchase it.
