TARDINESS
A student who is tardy to class may receive a tardy packet to be filled out and returned to
their teacher the following school day. Upon the fourth tardy in a six weeks period, the
student may be assigned to detention by the principal. Each tardy after that may be
subject to further disciplinary action.
TEACHER WORKROOMS
Each of the buildings provides a workroom for teachers. No students are permitted in the
workrooms unless they have administrative approval.
TELEPHONES
Students are not to use the telephone without permission from the principal or others in
charge. Messages will be taken and delivered as urgency seems to warrant. They will
not be delivered during class unless of an urgent nature. Students will not use the school
telephones for social calls.
Displaying, turning on, or using a cellular telephone or other telecommunications device
on school property during the school day is prohibited. Students must obtain permission
to use cell phones during the day from an administrator.
TEXTBOOKS
State-approved textbooks are provided free of charge for each subject or class. Books
must be covered by the student, as directed by the teacher, and treated with care. A
student who is issued a damaged book should report the damage to the teacher. Any
student failing to return a book issued by the school loses the right to free textbooks until
the book is returned or paid for by the parent. However, a student will be provided
textbooks for use at school during the school day.
TRANSPORTATION
School-sponsored
Students who participate in school-sponsored trips are required to use transportation
provided by the school to and from the event. However, the principal may make an
exception to this requirement under the following circumstances:
