LUNCHROOM and RECESS
PROCEDURES AND RULES
The following rules have been established to ensure the safety and security of all individuals:
Students will walk quietly, in a single line, through the halls to the playground or assigned areas.
Students failing two or more classes will be assigned to “Study Hall” until grades have risen to above passing (69.5 or higher ). Removal from Study Hall requires a discussion between Grade Level Chairperson, the school counselor and/or Building Administration and the student..
When at recess students must remain in designated areas at all times. These areas include the blacktop, playground and the playing field. The woods are strictly off limits.
Those students who are to meet with a teacher during recess must have a written, dated pass from that teacher. This pass must be presented to any teacher or aide requesting it.
Students are required, when failing two or more classes (in place of recess) will have a quiet Study Hall to bring up their grades or improve upon their work practices. Students are expected to bring work with them and work quietly throughout the duration of the half period. During the day or days prior the student is expected to check in with the teachers to see what work they can do while in Study Hall.
IF student is out at recess, students may not re-enter the building without permission from an aide.
If a child is hurt while outside, he or she is to inform a teacher or an aide. As necessary, the staff member will assist or direct the student to the Nurse's Office.
