Helpful Tips For New Students….

· Teachers will bring classes to the media center periodically as well.

Transition Time between classes

· You can go to your locker as often as you want as long as you are on time for class.

Dress Code

· Shorts/Pants – shorts must be mid-thigh …rips and tears are NOT allowed.

· Shirts – must cover the shoulders and midriff.

· Shoes – closed toe and heel required.

· Hats are not allowed on campus.

Electronics

· Cell Phones and electronic devices – should be off from first bell in the morning until the last bell of the day unless your teacher gives you permission to use it.

· If you need to call a parent or guardian, ask your teacher for permission. You can come to the house office and call. You shouldn’t be using your own phone.

PE

· Students who take PE have it every day.

· PE uniforms are required and dressing out/changing into your uniform is part of your participation grade.

· Appropriate shoes are required as well.

· Keeping extra deodorant in your locker is a necessity.

Electives

· Students who take PE will have one elective class every day. If you do not take PE, you can take two electives…based on availability, but one must be a performing arts elective.

· Performing Arts electives (band, dance, chorus, and piano) require some practice and performance time outside of the school day as well as some extra cost.

End of the Day

· If your bus is in the bus loop, stop at your locker to obtain everything you need for homework and head to the bus.

· If your bus is not in the loop, you will wait in the cafeteria for your bus number to be called.

· Most busses are in the bus loop by 4:25…make sure you are in the cafeteria, so you can hear your bus number being called.


Enjoy your first week!
