Tardy:

Students are expected to be in class on time daily. Hall sweeps will be conducted every period of every day. If you are late to class, your classroom door will be closed and you will be directed to the nearest AP office. At the AP office you will scan your ID and be given a tardy and a pass back to class. If you take longer than 5 minutes to get back to class it is an automatic D-hall. Teachers will not allow you to enter any classroom unless you have a pass, tardy pass, or ID. SEE TARDY CONSEQUENCES

Hall Passes:

Students are not allowed out of their classroom during class without a pass. The only reason a student is allowed to exit the classroom with a pass is for an extreme medical emergency, female restroom emergency, or call slip from the principal. Take care of your business between classes.

Hallway behavior:

In the hallways we expect every student to conduct themselves as young adult. Walk directly and quickly to class and leave others alone.

Absence:

All absences will be handled in the attendance office.

Students are expected to be in class every day unless they have a serious illness or important doctor appointment. If you are late to school before 740 without a note go to any AP office. If you are late to school before 740 with a note go to the attendance office. After 740 ALL students go to the attendance office. Assistant principals will be checking your attendance weekly and applying the following consequences: SEE ABSENCE CONSEQUENCES.

Any and all food from the time you arrive until you leave will be consumed in the cafeteria. Food IS NOT allowed in any common area, hallway, or classroom.

During lunch students need to move directly to the lunch room and have their ID on the neck. You will not be allowed in the cafeteria without a properly displayed ID. The cafeteria lines have scanners for your IDs and you must use them there. We want your cafeteria to be clean so pick up all trash after yourselves. All students are expected to be seated during the entire lunch unless getting food. Extended time for lunch is not allowed. Food is not allowed out of the cafeteria in the morning.
