General Information and Guidelines for New Students and Freshmen
All students are expected to exhibit good behavior and act in accordance with school and district policy. Lack of awareness does not excuse a violation of school rules.
Bullying or any type of harassment is not tolerated.
Review the course syllabus provided by the teacher of each course. Important information will be explained in the syllabus.
Please stay to the right when traveling down hallways and do not stop and block while at your locker; proper hallway etiquette is a safety measure.
Always bring books, Chromebooks/chargers, writing utensils, and other required materials to class
Students are only allowed six minutes passage time between classes. You may need to seek out alternate paths between classes if you find yourself running out of time! The courtyards are very convenient shortcuts.
Students are expected to make up all work missed when they are absent from class, whether the absence is due to illness, extra curricular activities, suspensions or field trips. It is the student's responsibility to do so, whether or not they are reminded by the teacher.
Studies show that student attendance is directly linked to academic success. Strive to be here and be here on time!
Bonus points or extra credit work are not an entitlement and are rarely assigned at the end of a marking period. Students should not plan on extra credit as a way to reach a desired grade.
Grades are assigned based on percentages (not letters).
Study skills and and organizational skills are an absolute necessity. Keep track of assignments, quizzes, tests, and projects with your Schoology calendar.
Study halls, lunches, and some classes are mixed-grade settings.
Study halls are meant for studying and doing academic work, not socializing.
Any student in the hallways during a class period must have a pass and a specific destination.
Passes to the library are limited, based on capacity. If you have a project or assignment due for a class and would like to use the library during a study hall, as your classroom teacher for a "pre-signed" pass.
In the cafeteria, students are expected to clean up the areas where they sat and ate their lunches before leaving for their next class. Trays, plates, and eating utensils must be returned properly to the designated areas.
Phone calls, recordings, and pictures are not allowed in the building during school hours (7:23 am - 2:25 pm). The use of cellphones, headphones, and earbuds are allowed in study halls, lunch, and in classrooms when permitted by teachers. Students are permitted to check messages and social media posts during passing time but headphones and earbuds are not permitted in the hallways due to safety concerns.
EHS's school colors are green and gold. The Green Hornet is the mascot.
Emmaus High School, has a school store, The Hornet's Nest, located in room 519 and open during lunch periods on varying days. They specialize in school spirit apparel and novelty items.
There is a spring deadline for ordering yearbooks and, if a student misses that deadline, they can inquire about buying one the following September, when they are distributed.
