Students need to know their role in creating safe schools. They must not only know the rules, but understand the consequences that result from breaking the rules. Parents and guardians can support the schools by reviewing the policies and practices outlined in this handbook and by helping your children understand the need to both obey the rules and follow the guidelines. This handbook is divided into sections which encompass attendance, instructional programs, academics, graduation requirements, extra-curricular activities, student records, health and safety, school safety, and transportation.
