Reminders about policies:

ASSEMBLY CONDUCT:  All students are expected to pass to the gymnasium quietly and orderly, take their seats, and speak in low conversational tones until the program begins.  General guides for behavior at assemblies:

1.  Give the speaker your utmost cooperation and attention.  Phones should be put away and on silent or turned off.  The cell phone policy is in effect in an assembly setting.

2.  Treat performers as guests.

3.  Applaud only when applause is in order.

4.  At the close of the program, wait for the signal to leave, then proceed back to the 

     proper classroom, quietly and orderly.

5.  The rule restricting public display of affection applies during assemblies.

6.  Any student acting in a rude disrespectful manner will be escorted out of the assembly 

     and will not be allowed to attend any assemblies for the remainder of the school year.

CELLULAR PHONES:  Cell phones, smartwatches, headphones/earbuds, and other electronic devices must be turned off during instructional time and placed in holders in the classroom (at teacher discretion).

Devices may: be utilized for instructional purposes as directed by faculty and be accessed during the passing time between classes and at lunch. Any improper use of devices will result in the loss of privilege and is grounds for suspension and disciplinary review. School personnel may confiscate these devices and submit them to the office. Students can be cited for a cell phone violation if the school discerns a cell phone has been used to contact a parent or some other party during instructional time.

1 st Offense: cell phone will be turned in to the Principal, student can pick up at end of day.

2 nd Offense: cell phone is turned into the Principal, parents will be called to come and pick up the cell phone after school and the student will receive 1 Monday school assignment (Level 2 infraction, may have a greater consequence depending on student discipline record).
