Extracurricular

 

Library/Media Center

The Library Media Center provides books and audiovisual materials to students and teachers. Students may check out books for as long as needed. Books are to be returned as soon as they have been read. Students will receive a reminder note after one month to return books that have been read. Students are responsible for books they check out. Books not returned or renewed after two months will be considered “lost” and are to be paid for by the student.

Use of educational technologies demands personal responsibility and an understanding of the acceptable use procedures. Student use of district technology is a privilege, not a right. General rules for behavior and communication apply when using the Internet. District policies for rules for student conduct and student rights and responsibilities apply. Failure to follow the acceptable use procedures will result in the loss of the privilege to use these educational tools and may result in school disciplinary action and/or legal action. All students need to have an Internet Permission form on file.

Lost and Found

Lost and found articles can be found in the cabinets outside the music room. Students and parents may check these cabinets at anytime during the year. Three times a year, parents and students will have the opportunity to view these items on tables in the pit. These dates will be announced in the school newsletter. All unclaimed items will be donated to a charity at the end of these viewings. It is advisable to label all articles that your child brings to school.

Personal Items

Students are discouraged from bringing any personal or non-school supply items to school. Electronic devices such as CD players, cell phones, pagers, radios, tape players and electronic games are prohibited at school. Laser pens, virtual pets, trading cards and otehr toys or devices are disruptive to the learning environment and are not allowed on school property. These items will be confiscated if found. Large amounts of money, jewelry and personal items are targets for theft and are not appropriate for school. If you have to bring a valuable item from home for a special class activity, it is recommended that you check it in with your classroom teacher. The school is not responsible for the loss of your valuables.
