STUDENT HANDBOOK - Half Hollow Hills

OTHER BEHAVIOR TERMED OFFENSIVE
A student must comply with the lawful direction of any teacher, principal or other authorized school
personnel during any period of time when the student is under the authority of such school personnel.
Violence, force, noises, coercion, threat, intimidation, fear, passive resistance, or any other misconduct is
not permitted. Students should not use inappropriate or profane language or gestures when interacting
with members of the school community. These actions interfere with the orderly functioning of the
educational process. Violation of the rules may result in detention, ISS or suspension.
PERMISSION TO LEAVE SCHOOL GROUNDS
No student may leave school grounds while school is in session without specific parental request and
administrative approval and without checking out at the Attendance Office. Parents who wish to have
their son or daughter excused early from school must call the Attendance Office. The parent or an adult
designee must sign the student out. Students will not be released to anyone but the parent or an adult
designee of the parent. We appreciate the cooperation of all parents in this regard. Doctor's or dentist's
appointments should be scheduled outside of regular school hours.
PETS
Students are not permitted to bring their pets to school without the permission of an administrator.
SCHOOL BUS MISCONDUCT
A bus driver is in complete charge of the bus at all times and acts in the same capacity as a teacher in a
classroom. The driver's orders are to be adhered to at all times. This will insure safe conditions for all
school bus riders. In addition to the rules included in the Code of Conduct, students are expected to
observe the rules as posted on each bus. Violation of the bus rules may be dealt with by suspension of bus
privileges, detention, ISS and/or suspension from school.
