Code of Conduct

• School begins at 8:15 A.M. each day and ends at 3:15 P.M.
• Any student arriving after 8:20 A.M. must report to the main office for a late pass. Teachers will NOT accept students into class without a late pass and extra time is wasted by going to the class and them being sent back by the teacher.
• Our dismissal is at 3:15 P.M. daily. Kindly see visitation policy for dismissal protocols.
• While an emergency might prevent you from being on time, please make it a regular practice to pick up your child on time.

Student, your attendance is extremely important if you're going to be successful this school year. Please make every effort to go to school EVERYDAY unless you are ill (runny nose, fever, vomiting, diarrhea or any contagious disease). Teachers cover a lot of information each day which you will be required to make up.

When you are absent, you must bring a note from your parents/guardians indicating the reason for the absence on the day if you return to school. Additionally, Excuse Forms are available in the office which makes it easy to simply check off the reason for the absence. Any unexcused absence will be recorded and reported to the attendance counselor for investigation as per DOE’s guidelines.

All students are required to adhere to the Board of Education’s policy on cellphone use.

• Cellphones SHOULD NOT be in use during instructional time, unless directed to do so by the teacher for academic purposes. 
• Cellphones use is for emergency contact only and not for social entertainment. 
• Neither the school nor the Department of Education is responsible for lost or stolen phones; parents may send students with phones understanding that it is at the parents’/students’ own risk.
• Any cellphone being utilized inappropriately will be confiscated and held in the office for parental pick up only. 
• The school phone is available for use, with permission to call parents. 
• Parents may call the school at (340) 773-3070 to schedule teacher appointments.

A delectable, free, hot breakfast and lunch are provided each day by your culinary staff. Students are encouraged to participate in the breakfast program and to take part in the lunch meals. However, they are allowed to bring their own packed lunch/snacks if you so desire.

• Breakfast is served from 7:35-8:05 A.M. daily
