Tobacco / E-Cigarette Use by Students There shall be no smoking or any other unauthorized use or possession of tobacco, tobacco products, including chewing tobacco or tobacco paraphernalia, and electronic nicotine delivery systems or vapor products by students in any school building or school vehicle at any time or on any school grounds during the school day, or at any time when the student is subject to the supervision of designated school personnel. Such as when the student is at any school function, extracurricular event, field trip, or school related activity such as a work-study program. An ongoing program of student support and counseling will be offered to provide support for students who wish to break the smoking habit.
Tobacco includes, but is not limited to cigarettes, cigars, snuff, smoking tobacco, smokeless tobacco, nicotine, nicotine delivering systems or vapor product, chemicals, or devices that produce the same flavor or physical effect of nicotine substances; and any other tobacco or nicotine innovations.
Students who violate this policy will be subject to disciplinary action. The Superintendent shall propose, and the Board of Education shall approve procedures and regulations to ensure that any student violating this policy is subjected to disciplinary action, and that any disciplinary actions imposed for similar actions are treated consistently
* In addition to possible school consequences, if the infraction occurs within the school building, the police will issue an“ Infraction Ticket” which carries a fine for students 16 years of age or older. If the student is under 16, a referral form to Juvenile Review Board will be issued. For the purpose of clarification, anyone holding or smoking any lighted smoking materials will be in violation of this policy
FOOD / BEVERAGES Students have the opportunity to purchase breakfast between 7:10AM – 7:20AM and a school prepared lunch during their assigned lunch wave. Students who choose not to eat the school prepared meals are welcome to bring their own lunch from home with them when arriving in the morning. Students are not allowed to have food deliveries during the school day by outside companies. Seniors with lunch privileges are prohibited from bringing back lunch for other students. In the event a student forgets their lunch, we may make an exception to allow a parent to drop it off. In this case, the student will have to pick up the lunch in the Welcome Center during their assigned lunch wave. However, this should be the rare exception and not a common practice. We encourage students to bring a reusable water bottle to school, as we have water stations throughout the building. Students with food allergens or special dietary needs should immediately contact the nurses’ office for further instruction. In an effort to prevent the exposure to food allergies 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).
CAFETERIA This school offers a variety of lunch programs including a hot lunch, cold lunch and fast food lunch.
1. Students may sit anywhere in the cafeteria. There are no assigned seats. When finished with lunch, each student will properly dispose of the cutlery, trash and trays.
2. Any student responsible for vandalizing school cafeteria furniture may be suspended and responsible for restitution.
