Section I –Student Responsibilities
Scholar Accountability
• Scholars should not be allowed to leave any classroom unless for an emergency.
If a student forgets his/her materials for class or needs to talk to another teacher,
it is not considered an emergency. Advise students to make arrangements with
other instructions prior to coming to class.
• When granting permission to leave the classroom, all instructors should provide
students with a hall or health suite pass; students without a pass should be
prohibited from entering or exiting the classroom, which ensures that students are
accountable and safe during the school day.
• Any visitor throughout the building, including parents who wish to visit classrooms
without an appointment, without a visitor pass should be redirected to the main
office.
• All schedule changes for students can only be made after the approval and/or
clearance from administration. Schedule changes will only be made during the
first two weeks of schools and students are expected to follow their original
schedules until notification is received by the grade-level administrator and/or
counselor.
• Students are not allowed to be in classrooms unsupervised during lunch,
planning and after school.
• Students are not allowed in the teacher workroom, mailroom or copier room
unless approved by the administration.
• Food and drinks are prohibited outside of the cafeteria unless for the following
reasons: medical requirement, mandated IEP accommodation or other reasons
pre-approved by administration.
• Students should not be given school keys or FOBs to gain access to any part of
the building.
Textbook & Supply Loan
Textbooks are loaned to students for use during the school year. Teachers will issue book
slips to be completed and signed, in ink, by both students and parents. The name of the
student and his/her classification must be written on the bookplate as soon as the book
is received.
Textbooks will be issued only when the student has cleared prior obligations and
presents a signed slip for each book. Parents are responsible for paying for any book
that is lost or severely damaged.
