JWMS Student Handbook

What Is the Student Handbook (And Why It Matters)?

The Student Handbook is like a guidebook for your school year. It’s full of important info about how things work at school.

 What’s Inside?

• School rules – so you know what’s expected and how to stay out of trouble

• Dress code – what you can (and can’t) wear at school

• Behavior guidelines – how to treat others, how to handle problems, and what happens if there’s an issue

• Schedules – like what time school starts, ends, and when lunch happens (the important stuff!)

• Cell phone policy – when and where phones can be used

• Bus and hallway rules – how to be safe and respectful

• Grading and homework info – what to expect in class

• Attendance policy – what to do if you're sick or need to be gone
