CARE OF SCHOOL PROPERTY


Covers are required for all books and this includes workbooks.  In addition, students are required to use school bags in order that books are protected en route to and from school.  Parents are responsible for replacing any textbook destroyed or defaced by a student.  If a book is lost, badly damaged or destroyed, the parents will be charged the total cost to replace the book. All text and workbooks, no matter the condition, remain property of the school.


Practical applied citizenship training is part of our educational program for all students and reasonable care of school buildings, furnishings, books, and instructional materials are emphasized.  Parents are requested to render active support to this program.  In this manner, operational and maintenance expenses can be held to a minimum.


Marking or in any way destroying school or bus property is inexcusable and subject to disciplinary action.  Repair or replacement costs for the damaged property will be the responsibility of the parents.


CHANGE OF ADDRESS, E-MAIL OR PHONE


Written notification of a change in address, e-mail or telephone number is to be sent to the school office immediately when the change is made. This is necessary to keep our files as current as possible for emergencies.
