2025-2026
Be Successful
· Keep your agenda, folders, notes, and locker organized.
· Use your agenda to write down assignments, due dates, test dates, and even notes to yourself! This is the primary tool of communication between you, your teacher, and your parents.
· Use your morning homeroom time to see teachers about questions or concerns you have.
· Complete assignments (which often includes studying for tests/quizzes!) before the due date.
· Make up absent work and tests/quizzes.
Care for General Supplies
· General Use Supplies means that the item(s), book(s), and/or furniture is under the care of the teacher whose classroom is it in which is designated for the use of all his/her students. These items may not be taken as personal property, traded out for another care-worn supply, or used in a wasteful manner.
· Students are expected to treat ALL items with care and respect, understanding that it is school property. Any damage(s) made to these items may result in reimbursement to the school.
Care for Personal Supplies
Personal supplies include any item(s) that are the property of a student and/or teacher. Under no circumstances may anyone presume that it be can used or taken without the expressed permission of the owner. It is never appropriate to take the property of another as a joke. Any damage that is incurred by another party should be rectified through an apology, reimbursement to the person and/or replacement of the item(s).
Completing Homework/Classwork
· Use a pencil and/or or blue/black ink for school assignments.
· Use a St. Anthony school heading, especially on assignments that are on loose-leaf paper and the start of notes.
· Read and follow the directions before beginning an assignment.
· Write in legible cursive (unless you receive expressed permission to write in print).
· Late homework (without an appropriate alibi) will not receive full credit and will be penalized a letter grade for each day that it is late at the discretion of the instructor. An assignment and/or projects that are over one week late will lose all point value at the discretion of the instructor.
When You Are Absent
· The time allotted for make-up work = the amount of days that you were absent (unless the teacher communicates other arrangements with you). Students are asked to speak directly with their homeroom teacher the day that they return to school after an absence. You are also strongly encouraged to phone, email, or ask a friend for the assignment and/or missed notes from class.
· If you are absent for a quiz or a test, please plan on making it up on the same day you return to school.
· Parents are asked supply as much advanced notice as possible to the homeroom teacher by email/phone message if books of the absent student are being requested for pick-up.
When Using Technology
· Cell phones must be turned off and remain in a backpack or in a locker during school hours while on school property and during field trips. Any violation of this policy will result in the confiscation of the cell phone by the administration.
· All school devices/email accounts must be used for academic purposes only (No games, no blooket, no quizlet, or random websites).
· Treat the Chromebooks well. Put them away in their respective cart. Your Chromebook and/or any digital tool must be the number you are assigned at all times.
· When using the Chromebook, you agree to...
o Carry the device with two hands
o Sit down while the chromebook is in use and ensure it lies flat on the desk (not on a stack of books)
o Use the chromebook only according to how the teacher in the classroom directs you to use it. In other words, you may never use the chromebook to check personal email, open unassigned apps or search engines, look up websites, or “surf”
o Not eat or drink at or near the chromebook
o Not share your password with other students
Being Respectful and Tidy
· At all times, students are expected to conduct themselves with respect and politeness in words, attitudes, and actions.
· Students are expected to wear their uniform appropriately. Students must be aware and abide by the uniform policy as stated in the parent/student handbook (pages 16-21).
· Students are to maintain appropriate social and physical boundaries with others. Anyone who dishonors the code of conduct should be reported to a teacher and/or an administrator.
Zero Tolerance Policy
The following are examples (but are not limited to) of behavior that will NOT be tolerated:
· Cheating – this includes…
o Copying work (for both parties), discussing a quiz/test that you have taken that someone else has not taken (or vice versa), looking back at your (or other’s) notes, books, and/or other materials related to the assessment in its duration
· Profanity – this also includes…
o Close substitutions to profane words
o Taking God’s name in vain
· Sexual innuendos (Comments or gestures or sounds) - “Ignorance” does not equal acquittal!
· Lying and/or using any form of manipulation
· Talking back and/or arguing with those in authority (i.e. a teacher and/or administrator)
· Fighting/pushing/rough housing/running inside
· Chewing gum
