Wheeler uses a computer system in the cafeteria that allows parents to pay in advance either by contacting 770-426-3380 or MySchoolBucks. com or ApplePay. Students or parents may put money in their accounts at any time. Students must memorize their 6- or 7-digit Cobb County ID number( not the student’ s Social Security Number) and should NOT SHARE THEIR ID NUMBERS WITH ANY OTHER STUDENT. During lunch, students must stay in the cafeteria or courtyards unless they have written permission to leave. FOOD MAY NOT BE TAKEN OUT OF THESE AREAS.
BUILDING USE OUTSIDE REGULAR SCHOOL DAY Any use of the building before or after school hours should be cleared with the proper coordinating administrator. Students should not be in the building past 3:40pm unless being directly supervised by a faculty member or may face disciplinary consequences. Students who violate this may be given a criminal trespass warning. Students should not attempt to gain access to Wheeler High School on weekends or after normal school hours. The building may be secured and an attempt to gain entry will result in the alarm being activated. Cobb County Police treats unauthorized entry as trespassing. Students should always have a sponsor / teacher / coach with them who has access to the alarm box before attempting entry after hours and on weekends.
CELL PHONES Today’ s students have access to a variety of personal electronic devices( PED’ s), and the leadership of Wheeler High School recognizes that this presents teachers with a unique opportunity to make use of technology to positively impact instruction. As a result, the limited use of PED’ s during the instructional day( 8:20 – 3:30) is permitted under the following guidelines:
CLINIC
• PED’ s must be turned off at the start of each class period;
• PED’ s must remain in bags or purses for the duration of each class period;
• PED’ s are allowed in the cafeteria during lunch;
• PED’ s are allowed in the hallways during class change;
• Students should not post to any social media outlet during the school day.
• PED’ s may NOT be used to record fights or any other conduct which breaks school rules; students who use their PED’ s in such a manner will be subject to discipline. Teachers will follow Wheeler’ s Discipline Flowchart in response to student PED violations.
The Clinic is located in Room 1044 and is staffed by a Registered Nurse between the hours of 8:30am and 3:30pm daily. Students must have a blue pass from their teacher to go to the clinic. The clinic does not supply medications. Limited first aid is administered in accordance with Cobb County School District policy. If a student becomes ill after arriving at school, he / she should go to the Clinic where a call will be made to his / her parent or guardian. We ask parents and / or guardians when going out of town to provide caretakers with written authorization to make medical decisions and authorize dismissal from school. A copy of this authorization with contact information should be forwarded to the Attendance office.
Prescription Medicine at School( Rule JGCD-R) Students may not transport prescription medications to and from school. Prescriptions
