Regular Bell Schedule
 

Hallway Expectations

Tardy reminder  (from class meetings)
  • You should be in the correct class by the time the bell rings.
  • If you are in the hallway during class time, you must have a hall pass. 
  • First 3 tardies = minors in Educator’s Handbook
  • 4th + tardy = major office referrals.
  • Review student handbook for progression of consequences

Bathrooms - Scholars must have a pass to be in the bathroom after the tardy bell rings. These are places for bodily functions, not group hangouts for vaping. As a reminder, per the code of conduct, OSS is assigned for the Possession and/or USE of vapes.

Lunch period - Scholars must be in the cafeteria or outside near the breezeway during lunch. Roaming the building is not an option. If you are found in the wrong area without a pass, you will be walked to ISS. If you need to be in the building for lunchtime tutoring or to meet with a counselor, you must have a prearranged signed pass.

Students with irregular classes on your schedule:
NCVPS/CCP - must be in the media center
Credit Recovery - must be in the media center or other space as assigned 
Late arrival - must report directly to the media center when you arrive on campus if it is not during class change. 
Early release - means you should be off campus without a need to return for the remainder of the day. If you must remain on campus, your schedule should have study hall on it, not early release.
