STUDENT INFORMATION

For learning to take place, a school climate must exist that promotes the development of appropriate attitudes and behaviors.

Parent-School/Student Organization (PSO/PTO)

The Parent School Organization (PSO) is a volunteer service organization self-funded through dues and fundraising events. It is dedicated to promoting a closer relationship between home and school, and uniting the efforts of educators and the public to secure for every child the best available education. The PSO does not direct the administrative activities of the school, or control its policies. The prevailing purpose of the PSO is to enhance the K-5 educational experience for our children. Many of the PSO activities are directed toward fundraising, with the goal of raising money to provide the children with a variety of Cultural Enrichment programs, donating new educational equipment and materials to the school, organizing and funding family events. The PSO also works hard to provide the school with goods and/or services, which will benefit the students, but could not be provided for within the parameters of the school budget. All parents are invited to join the PSO and to participate in its meetings and activities. If you have any questions about the PSO or would like to get more involved, please visit the school’s website for PSO contact information.

Care of School Property

Students are expected to keep the school neat and clean. Pride in the school and its property will produce a better school in which to work and learn. The physical condition of the school reflects the character of the student body.

Any school property lost or damaged by a pupil must be paid for by the student. Accidental damage is one thing; however, malicious destruction of school property will be dealt with severely. Significant fines may result in a “freeze” of the student’s academic record.

Textbooks are the property of the Board of Education for students’ use. These books must be returned in good condition at the close of the school year. In the event of unreasonable wear, a fine will be assessed. Any lost book must be paid for based on the current cost of replacement. It is the student’s responsibility to have all books covered at all times. Students’ names must be placed in the appropriate place on the stamp in the book.

Electronic Devices and Personal Property

Students are not allowed to use electronic devices such as smart watches, cell phones, iPods, portable video games, etc. If such items are found being used, students must immediately turn the item off and place it in their backpack. Any such items brought to school are the sole responsibility of the students. The district cannot be held liable for any damage to or theft of electronic equipment and/or personal property (i.e., musical instruments) brought to school.

Dress Code

School district staff will continue to encourage all students to dress in a fashion that reflects good taste and a style appropriate for a school day. This does not include:

Clothing displaying vulgar or inappropriate writing, pictures, or symbols
Clothing that is too revealing, such as short shorts, tank tops, halter tops, low-cut tops, bare midriffs, or mesh shirts (unless a shirt is worn under them)
Any other apparel that the school determines to be unacceptable by community standards 4. Hats, caps, and sunglasses are not to be worn in the school building

Students may be sent home for inappropriate attire and/or given appropriate consequences.
