to be excluded from bus transportation. The school administration, authorized by the Board of Education
in this same policy, will “suspend transportation services for any student whose conduct while waiting or
receiving transportation to and from school endangers persons or property.” Any behavior that may distract
the bus driver or infringe upon the rights of other students will also result in disciplinary action, including
suspension from school.
CHANGE OF COURSE PROCEDURES
Course changes create a disruption to the learning process and an imbalance in class sizes. Students must
select courses with extreme care. Giving this matter the serious consideration it deserves will ensure the
selection of a meaningful course of studies and thus eliminate the need for course changes. Details for
necessary changes are available in the Program of Studies issued to each student.
STUDENT ACCOUNTABILITY FOR LOST OR DAMAGED SCHOOL PROPERTY
School property should receive the same care as personal belongings. All textbooks and equipment issued
to students must be returned in good condition. Normal wear and tear of textbooks and equipment is
expected. However, if a student loses or misuses school property, the teacher will issue an accountability
form for the material lost or damaged. Students will also be held accountable for any damage done to the
school building or property.
Students will not receive report cards or other services, which would ordinarily be furnished by the school,
until all financial responsibilities have been cleared. Seniors will jeopardize their graduation if all their
financial responsibilities have not been cleared.
Payments for lost books will be made according to the following guidelines:
1st year ……… 90% of cost
3rd year ………. 60% of cost
2nd year ……... 75% of cost
4th year ………. 50% of cost
Paperbacks – Payment will be for the full amount of book.
LOCKS, LOCKERS, AND DESKS
School lockers and desks are the property of the Enfield Public Schools. At no time does the Enfield Public
School district relinquish its exclusive control of lockers and desks. School authorities for any reason may
conduct periodic general inspections of lockers and desks at any time, without notice, without the user’s
consent, and without a search warrant.
Every student in the school is provided with a lock and locker so that books and other valuables can be
stored safely. Always keep your locker locked and do not share your locker.
1. Since students have a personal locker and lock, they will be responsible for their own
belongings. Be sure that the locker is kept locked. The school is not liable for lost articles. This
includes all gym lockers.
2. Students are responsible for the locks issued to them. If lost, students must pay $10.00 for a
replacement. Use of padlocks not issued by the school is not permitted.
3. Please keep lockers clean. Locker clean-outs will be scheduled periodically during the school
year.
4. Lockers must be emptied at the end of the school year by the student. Anything left in
the locker at the close of the school year will be removed and discarded. Padlocks must also be
removed and taken home.
PASS SYSTEM
Three types of passes are used:
1. GENERAL PASS: To be used (signed by teacher) for all purposes other than the library.
