ELECTRONIC DEVICES

Electronic devices (cell phones, IPODs, etc.) should not be in students' possession during the school day.  If observed, devices may be confiscated and consequences assigned.  Office phones are available for emergencies.  Pay phones are available for other calls.  The parent may pick up devices through arrangement with the school office.  (There are circumstances in which the principal may approve a waiver.)

STUDENT PLANNERS

In high school, students are expected to develop organizational skills such as planning, time management, and decision making.  Students are expected to become independent and self directed. 

To help you, the school system has given each student a planner.  Planners are used in the business and professional world by most employees.  You are expected to keep this planner with you every day in school.  Use it for planning, tracking your grades, and writing down assignments.  If you lose your planner, a new one can be purchased in the office for $5.  Detention hall or other consequences may result for students who do not use their planner. 

Please use your planner for:

• Setting goals
• Keeping homework assignments
• Recording daily grades
• Remembering appointments and obligations
• Referring to school rules
