The Beeline - Box Elder High School - Box Elder School District

LOCKERS -- Lockers permit students to store books and outside clothing. Lockers may have two
students assigned. It is very important to keep these lockers locked at all times and not to give
combinations to friends or acquaintances. Students should not leave money, watches, jewelry or
other valuable property in the lockers. If a student loses anything from the lockers, he/she is
responsible, not Box Elder High School. Students must keep them clean, both inside and out.
Obscene and objectionable materials are not to be kept in nor displayed on the lockers. Open
containers of liquid are not to be kept in lockers. Overfilling or forcing the locker door closed may
result in damage to coats, backpacks and lockers. It will also result in jammed lockers. Students do
not have an expectation of privacy or exclusive control of areas such as lockers, which are owned
and jointly controlled by the district. These areas may be searched with or without reasonable cause.
(Policy 5294) Lockers will be issued later in the year for 2009-2010.
LOST AND FOUND -- Lost and found articles will be held in the Main Office. All found articles
should be turned in there. Articles may be claimed before and after school and during lunch by
correctly describing the lost item. Items not claimed in 90 days will be donated to charity.
MEDICATION -- A student may take prescription medication at school if the school has a current
written and signed request for such from a parent/guardian and if the student’s doctor, dentist, etc.
has provided a signed statement describing the method, amount, and time schedule for
administration, and a statement that administration of medication by school employees, during
periods when the student is under the control of the school, is medically necessary. One school
person will be assigned the responsibility of administering student medications. Administering overthe-counter
medications requires the same procedures as prescription medications. (For further
information refer to District Policy #5065.)
OFF CAMPUS PROGRAMS --Students enrolled in any off-campus programs, Bridgerland,
Released Time, Home Release, Work-base Learning, Early College are required to be off the high
school campus during that time. Students are expected to be at their proper locations during the
assigned times. The police will issue any student loitering on campus a trespassing citation.
PARENT NOTIFICATION -- It is the policy of BEHS to provide notification to parents of their
student’s progress. Student attendance, homework, and effort are key areas that affect performance.
BEHS encourages parents to use the internet when possible to look at grades on-line. E-mail is also
available when needing to contact teachers (see Grades On-line). Letters reporting absences are sent
when absences reach 5 per class or days. Parent/teacher conferences are scheduled approximately
every 60 school days. Teachers notify parents by mail, midterm reports, or telephone calls of serious
academic or credit problems. Correct telephone numbers, correct addresses, mail delivery time,
parents’ work hours, and student cooperation are all factors that impact the teachers’ ability to notify
parents. Parents need to verify their student’s demographic sheet each fall. The dates of midterm
reports and parent/teacher conferences are listed. The best form of communication is unquestionably
a parent and teacher conference. Conferences are held shortly following the midterm report. Parents
are invited and strongly encouraged to attend conferences, contact teachers by e-mails at anytime or
leave a message in the main office.
Midterms will be mailed (approximately 30 school days into each trimester) to
parents/guardians. Midterms will include all grades, citizenship and attendance.
PARKING REGULATIONS -- Student parking is in designated parking lots and legal areas along
curbs adjacent to the school. Motorbikes are to be parked in the parking lot. Racks are provided for
the parking and securing of bicycles. There is to be no loitering of students in cars or in the parking
