Info

If a parent/guardian wishes a student to leave school before dismissal, a valid excuse must be presented to the office before the student is to leave. Only parents/guardians may write these notes. Signatures are checked with those that are on file in the office to avoid forgery. No student will be granted early dismissal without signing out with the office. Notes from the parent/guardian must accompany any student requesting for early dismissal. A student who becomes ill at school must contact a parent or guardian to pick him up at school. Students with driver’s licenses, and who become ill at school are not allowed to drive themselves home unless specified otherwise by parents or guardians. Off-Limits The following areas are off-limits to students: 1. areas under construction; 2. the faculty lounge and rest rooms; 3. storage rooms; 4. student and faculty parking lot; 5. the gymnasium unless supervised by a teacher; 6. classrooms during break or lunch period unless a teacher is present; 7. the NJROTC room, except to cadets; 8. under the gym bleachers; 9. under any building; 10. behind the gym, the Phoenix center or between and behind the Lockwood classrooms. 11. any location designated off-limits or that is unsupervised. Violation of these provisions is subject to disciplinary action. Use of School Grounds After school use of campus facility by other than FDMS students is by written contract only. Unauthorized presence of a student or group of students may result in disciplinary action. FDMS being a closed campus, students who are not involved in supervised extra-curricular activities or disciplinary actions must vacate the campus. FDMS cannot be responsible for the actions of students or others who are not authorized to be on campus. FDMS does not accept liability for students or others who are not authorized to be on campus. B. Transportation and Field Trips Student Automobiles All vehicles must be registered through the office. Licensed junior and senior students can purchase parking permits and register vehicles with the office. Other students with a driver’s license can purchase permits if parking spaces are still available. Only students with FDMS parking permits may drive school-registered cars to school. Any change must be registered immediately. Parking permits must be displayed visibly. 18 Driving to school and parking off-campus is not permitted. Driving motorcycles or mopeds to school is not allowed. The office, in case of necessity, can allow parking for a single day. All students must park in their designated student parking spaces only. Cars improperly parked or cars with no valid permit displayed are subject to being towed away at the car owner’s expense. Students may not park in the front faculty parking lot or in front of the administration building. Excessive tardiness while driving to school will result in the revocation of parking privileges. By parking on campus, parents and students agree that cars are subject to search. FDMS is not responsible for damage or theft of student’s vehicle while on campus. The parking lot is off-limits for the duration of the classes during school days. Sitting in cars during class/school hours is not permitted. Students must leave their cars immediately upon their arrival at school. Loitering in the parking lot is not permitted. Once classes have started, no student is allowed to go to the parking area under any circumstances without permission. Students who break the rule will serve a one-hour after-school detention. Repeated violation of this rule will result in the suspension of the student’s parking permit. FDMS is not responsible for transporting students to and from school, or for injuries incurred to students while driving to and from school. Parents should use care in deciding how and with whom their sons come to school. Parking permits will be suspended on the following grounds: 1. speeding or careless driving on school grounds and on the streets bordering the school; 2. unauthorized leaving of the campus by car during the school day; 3. unauthorized motorcades on school grounds and on streets bordering the school; 4. four (4) unexcused tardiness during the quarter may result in the suspension of parking permit for ten (10) school days; 5. repeated violation of the parking lot off-limits rule. School Bus Passengers Regulations Students are transported under the direct authority of the bus driver and are his responsibility. Students are subject to the rules governing general conduct while in the bus. These rules are as follows: 1. Courtesy to the bus driver, companion riders and the general public; 2. No littering inside the bus or throwing trash out of the bus; 3. Keeping all parts of the body inside the bus at all times; 4. Respect for property; 5. Good conduct, avoiding shouting, pushing and roughness; 6. No eating, drinking, chewing gum, betel nut, smoking or drugs in the bus; 7. Students must enter and exit the bus in an orderly fashion.
Students who do not comply with the general rules of acceptable conduct are subject to disciplinary action by the driver and the school and may be denied use of the bus services. Off-Island Trips Students who go off-island are responsible for all lessons, assignments, quizzes, and tests missed during their absence. The administrative office will provide the students with advance assignment sheets. It is the students’ responsibility to request from their teachers the specific assignments/work to be completed. This rule applies to all off-island trips for FDMS athletic and academic teams sanctioned by the school. Parents/Guardians of students going off-island during the school year must direct a letter to the school administration informing them of the dates and purpose of the trip. Parents are then advised accordingly. Field Trips Field trip permission forms must be signed by parents or legal guardians prior to the trip and returned to the teacher-incharge. A student who does not have a signed permission form will not be allowed to go on the trip. A phone call from a parent will not be accepted in place of the signed form. Field trips and other school-sponsored trips are conducted periodically to enhance and supplement classroom instruction and learning. Field trips are privileges afforded to students. No student has an absolute right to a field trip. Students can be denied participation if they show a pattern of behavioral or academic problems. C. Outside Communication Visitors All visitors to the school campus are required to sign in at the registrar’s office upon arrival. This is for the protection of our students and there shall be no exception to this rule. No parent may go directly to any student, or accost any teacher without first signing-in at the front office and securing permission from the school authorities. Messages Delivering messages to students is not part of the job of the administrative personnel. Only emergency messages may be delivered to the students. The sender will be expected to state the emergency. Parents are expected to plan ahead and inform their son about plans before the start of the school day. Interruptions into class time cause disruption for everyone. 19 PRINCIPAL’S RIGHT TO AMEND The Principal, upon due consultation with the Disciplinary Board & and the Principal’s Council, reserves the right to amend and interpret at any time, any or all sections of this handbook.
