School starts at 7:30 a.m. and ends at 2:11 p.m. Students are considered late at 7:30 a.m. and must sign in at the front desk.

Students should not be dropped off prior to 7:15 a.m. as student supervision is unavailable prior to that time.

Any student leaving school before the 2:11 p.m. dismissal time must be signed out in the office by the custodial parent or guardian.

A parent may request that another person sign the student out of school but this request must be in writing and is subject to approval by the Principal.

Students remaining at school past the 2:11 p.m. dismissal time must be with a teacher. Students should not be in school after 3:20 p.m. unless supervised by an adult. Again, no supervision is available past this time.

If your child is going to be absent or late for any reason, please notify us before school by calling the nurse’s office at 279-4600 ext. 2412 before 7:30 a.m.

When your child returns to school from an absence, the student is expected to submit a written explanation signed by the parent or guardian stating the reason for the absence. Students who are absent from school for any reason will be required to make up work missed in their classes. It is the student’s responsibility to obtain all make-up work from his/her teacher immediately upon the return to school.

All students are expected to dress appropriately for school and school functions. A student’s dress, grooming and appearance including hair style/color, jewelry, make-up and nails, shall:

• Be safe, appropriate and not disrupt or interfere with the educational process.

• Recognize that extremely brief, inappropriate, revealing, or distracting garments such as tube tops, net tops, plunging necklines (front and/or back), and see-through garments are not appropriate.

• Ensure that underwear is completely covered with outer clothing.

• Include footwear at all times. Footwear that is a safety hazard will not be allowed.

• Not include the wearing of hats in the classroom except for a medical or religious purpose.

• Not include items that are vulgar, obscene, libelous or which denigrate others on the basis of race, color, religion, creed, national origin, gender, sexual orientation or disability.

• Not promote and/or endorse the use of alcohol, tobacco, or illegal drugs, and/or encourage other illegal or violent activities.

Requests for homework assignments should be made by parents for those students who anticipate being legally absent from school two or more days. Assignments can be picked up the day following the request at 2:15 p.m. in the Counseling Center. Students who will be absent for one day are advised to contact a classmate for their assignments.

Working paper forms may be picked up or returned to the school Counseling Center from 7:00-7:30 a.m. and from 2:00-3:30 p.m. Students must appear in person and sign card in presence of issuing official.
