FOOD / BEVERAGES The Enfield Board of Education has developed a new policy ( 5141.25 ) to better accommodate our students with special dietary needs and food allergens . We believe that all students , through accommodations where required , shall have the opportunity to participate fully in all school programs and activities . In an effort to prevent the exposure to food allergens the following activities are prohibited : a .
Meal / snack swapping and utensil swapping among students during lunch and all other school sponsored events ; b . Eating or drinking on school buses ; c . Eating or drinking in non-authorized areas of the school building or grounds by students , parents , and visitors ( ex . eating in the hallways and restrooms are examples of nonauthorized locations ). Students with food allergens or special dietary needs should immediately contact the nurses ’ office for further instruction . ( For complete policy information , please see BOE policy # 5141.25 )
Note : Food deliveries are prohibited during school hours .
BUS CONDUCT RULES As stated in the bus transportation policy of the Enfield Board of Education ( 513.1 ), bus transportation is not an unlimited right granted the student . Of utmost importance is the safety of everyone on the bus or at the bus stop . Thus , students will be held to reasonable regulations , which if not followed , may cause them 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 .
ALTERNATIVE FORMS OF TRANSPORTATION Biking , skateboarding , roller blading , etc . are not allowed on school property and / or parking lots except for the sole purpose of transporting oneself to and from school . Use of appropriate alternative methods of transporting oneself to school must be operated in a safe manner when on school property . Students must not speed and should offer walkers the right of way .
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 .
