✔ REMINDERS
AIRPODS & EARBUDS
- Airpods and earbuds are not to be worn unless you are using them to listen to your Chromebook in class. You are not to wear them in the halls or bluetooth them to your phones. You will be asked to remove them and they will be kept in the office until the end of the day. Repeat offenders will receive penalty halls, Fridays, or ISS.
CHROMEBOOKS
- We have a rise in Chromebook vandalism and Chromebook misuse. Please remember these are property of the school and are assigned to you, not given to you. If you cause damage of any sort to your Chromebook, it will result in a range of penalty hall to in school suspension with the possibility of restitution.
- Do not leave your chromebook unattended outside classrooms. You are responsible for the care of the chromebook that is issued to you and insurance will not cover negligence. Students that leave their chromebooks unattended can pick up their chromebook and their after school PENALTY HALL from Mr. Hurley.
- Students, please make sure you are entering a Helpdesk Ticket before you come to the Media Center with a Chromebook issue. The Helpdesk Ticket App is located within Clever.
- Remember to charge your Chromebook at night. If something is wrong with your Charger or Chromebook, please bring it to the Media Center and enter a ticket.
STUDENT DROP OFF
Parents need to drop you off in the mornings in the back of the building only. No students are allowed to be dropped off at the front of the school for any reason.
EARLY DROP OFF
Students must remain in the cafe until 7AM, if they are getting dropped off early.
EXITING THE BUILDING
Students – if you are leaving the building early for an appointment, please bring your note to the Main Office first thing in the morning. The office will make a copy of your note – you will show it to your teacher and come to the office to meet your parent. They will not need to come inside to pick you up.
HALL PASSES
All students must carry an approved pass from an administrator or teacher to be in the halls during class time. This applies to student council members, yearbook students, students with early dismissal, and any student who finds it necessary to enter the halls during class time.
HALLWAYS/CLASSROOMS
Only water is allowed in classrooms. Pop, colored drinks, etc. are not allowed.
Students should not have these types of drinks in the halls either; please toss them if they can’t be closed again or close them and put them in your lockers.
LOCKERS
Please make sure your bookbags are all the way in your lockers before you close them. We have had numerous jams.
STAYING AFTER SCHOOL
Students that have evening practice or games are not allowed to stay at school until your events starts. Students can return to their sporting events with a parent or guardian at the called for time.
