Northwestern High School - Rock Hill School District

FEES/TEXTBOOK FINES
Students are expected to keep copies of all receipts issued to them for any financial transactions
conducted with the school. Students will be asked to produce their copies of the receipts whenever
any transaction is in question.
Students enrolled in AFJROTC are responsible for paying a uniform cleaning charge. Those not
wishing to use the school contractor must have their uniform commercially cleaned and pressed before
returning it to AFJROTC.
Students are responsible for maintaining and returning all textbooks or other Northwestern property
issued to them. Students will be responsible for paying full replacement costs for any lost or severely
damaged textbook or other materials. Damage fees will be collected for minor damages and failure to
use a book cover.
Sharing lockers, not locking lockers, leaving books in classrooms, and or leaving books/book bags
unattended are strongly discouraged. Northwestern is not responsible for the care of books or other
Northwestern property issued to students.
Students receiving fines are expected to pay those fines or work out a payment plan with
administration. Failure to follow this plan will result in additional late fee fines for textbooks and
student temporary ID’s. Students owing money for textbooks or other materials may not be allowed to
participate in extra-curricular activities. These students will have a hold on transcripts and will not
receive parking permits or diplomas until the financial obligation is met or a plan of payment is
approved by the school or district authority. Students must clear all financial obligations to be eligible
for graduation.
Students who have lost a textbook/agenda notebook and have had that textbook during the
designated textbook return time will be charged a $2 recovery fee. Students who fail to turn in a
textbook during the designated textbook return time will be charged $2.
LOST AND FOUND
Students who have lost an item during the school year should first check with their teachers to see if
the item has been found. If necessary, students should visit the school media center to inquire about
any missing item before or after school or during lunch. Turned in items will be tagged with a
“received” date. Items will be kept for 2 weeks and then disposed of.
Parents are reminded that personal items should be clearly and permanently marked. This will aid
school personnel in helping your student recover lost items. Items of significant value should not be
brought to school.
Northwestern High School assumes no responsibility for personal items that are lost by or stolen
from students.
