Vehicle Use #5032:
Students who drive to school are required to park their vehicles and leave them unoccupied until it is time to drive home. The speed limit on school property is 5 miles per hour. Students may not drive or have access to their vehicles during the school day without the express permission of their building principal or the superintendent of schools.
Students are to park appropriately and in the assigned areas on school property. Student parking shall not be permitted in bus loading zones. When the buses are loading or unloading, all vehicles must stop and wait for the loading or unloading process to be completed.
By driving a vehicle to school and parking on school grounds, students consent to having that vehicle searched by school officials if school officials have reasonable suspicion that such a search will reveal a violation of school rules.
If a student does not follow the rules, upon demand of administrative personnel, his/her keys will be checked in and out. Students failing to comply will have their parking privileges taken away. At no time will any student leave the classroom areas of the school to approach any car during the school day, nor will any student be allowed to drive during the noon hour unless they receive permission from administrative personnel.
According to the policy of the Board of Education of the Exeter-Milligan Public Schools, we will have a closed campus policy which means that all students will eat at school and remain on school grounds except those who have been issued, upon request, a permanent pass to eat lunch at home. Students will not be permitted to drive home for lunch. After eating lunch students are to be outside (weather permitting), in the commons area, gym, or as instructed. All noon-time lunches brought to school shall be eaten in the lunchroom or commons depending on the assigned area of the grade level.
