All students should take pride in caring for school property. If a student should accidentally damage or break something, he/she should report it immediately to the teacher or to the office.

ASSEMBLIES

Each student's behavior should be refined and courteous during all assemblies. The spiritual level of the school is clearly indicated by the conduct of the student body in an assembly situation.

Whistling Boisterousness Booing Stomping

Uncalled-for clapping Extended clapping Note passing Dress code violation

Sleeping Fidgeting Talking Whispering

HALL TRAFFIC No student is to be in the hallway during a class period without a pass from his or her teacher. Those students found out of class without a hall pass may be assigned a detention. Students must never be in a classroom without faculty supervision. To keep our hallways safe and clean, all items left out of lockers will be relocated to Lost & Found and eventually discarded.

NOISE Excessive noise will not be allowed in the halls, classrooms, bathrooms or the lunchroom. Students will not be allowed to disturb other students in class.

DISTRACTING DEVICES

Fidget toys and other devices are not allowed at school unless the student has a diagnosed need. Approval will be revoked if an approved device becomes a distraction or hindrance to learning.

CELL PHONES Students may carry cell phones to school. However, they should be turned off and put in lockers when students enter the school building. Phones should not be seen, heard, or used during school hours. Violation will result in confiscation of the phone. The phone may be reclaimed from the office upon payment of a $10 fine for the first offense. Subsequent offenses will increase by $5 for each offense. Multiple offenses will necessitate a parent conference.

ELECTRONIC DEVICES Use of electronic equipment (other than cell phones) on school grounds is prohibited, with the exception of extra-curricular events. Violation will result in confiscation of the device, to be reclaimed by a parent in the office upon payment of a $10 fine. Subsequent offenses will increase by $5 for each offense. The school assumes no responsibility for loss or theft of electronic equipment. Cameras, picture phones, or cell phones are NEVER to be used in bathrooms or locker rooms.
