Personal Items in School

Personal Belongings in School 

In order to ensure student safety and the protection of personal property (expensive jewelry and toys, large sums of money), parents are encouraged to monitor closely those items that are brought or worn to school by students.  Cell phones, or electronics that can be used as such (ie Apple watches), are not permitted to be on or in use during school hours. 

Personal electronic devices, such as music players, fitbits, smart watches, and electronic games, deemed potentially disruptive are not to be used during school hours. The school cannot be responsible for lost or misplaced electronic devices, therefore, it is best to avoid bringing these items to school. 

The following items are specifically prohibited from being brought to school:

• Weapons (real or toy)

• Pocket knives, razor blades, or sharp object 

• Matches, caps, fireworks, and paintballs

Lost and Found

Lost and Found is collected in the cafeteria. Periodically, these items will be sorted and displayed. Items that are not claimed in a reasonable amount of time, typically 30 days, will be donated. It is helpful to label items with your child’s name to assist him/her in identifying his/her belongings. Please note that smaller items such as jewelry, keys, money and glasses are kept in the school office if found.  You may inquire in the office about any of these missing items. 

School Property

Parents will be held responsible for damage to school property caused by a student who has acted in an unreasonable or unsafe manner. Restitution may be necessary. School property includes books, supplies, furniture, building and grounds.

Library Books

Lost or damaged library books must be replaced at the student’s expense. Students will receive a list of "missing or lost" library books at the end of each marking period.  A student may lose the right to bring library books home if several are missing and a replacement plan has not yet been developed.

Textbooks and Materials

Textbooks are provided for students.  It is the responsibility of the student to see that all materials are treated with care.  Textbooks and materials that are lost or damaged must be replaced at the student’s expense.
