TELEPHONE USE

Use of the office telephone by students is limited to emergency calls only. Calls for permission to go to friends' homes, bring in lunch or homework, etc, will not be permitted. Children should be prepared for school on a daily basis. Personal cell phones are discouraged. However, Saint Aloysius School understands that often it is for a parents’ peace of mind for the students to carry a cell phone.   If a student is to have a cell phone in school they MUST:

1. •Have a completed permission slip on file in the main office
   

2. •Cell phones must remain OFF during the school day and in the students backpack.
   

3. •Students may NOT RECEIVE phone calls.
   

4. •Only the Principal/Assistant Principal may grant a student permission to make a phone call using the cell phone.
   

5. •Students may only make a phone call using a cell phone in the presence of the Principal or Assistant Principal.
   

6. •At no time and under no circumstance shall a student use a cell phone camera, access the Internet through the cell phone, or Email/text message through the cell phone.
   

7. •Students who are in possession of a cell phone without permission or those who do not follow these set guidelines will have their phones confiscated.
   

8. •Confiscated phones will be checked for outgoing/incoming calls, text messages, and photos.
   

TRANSPORTATION

The following is the policy of the Jackson Township Board of Education regarding busing. Since Jackson Township furnishes transportation to our students we abide by this policy:

While the law requires the school district to furnish transportation, it does not relieve parents of students from the responsibility of supervision until such time as the student boards the bus in the morning and leaves the bus at the end of the school day.

Once a student boards the bus – and only at that time – does he/she become the responsibility of the school district. Such responsibility shall end when the student is delivered to the regular bus stop at the end of the school day.

In view of the fact that the school bus is an extension of the classroom, the Jackson Board of Education shall require the students to conduct themselves on the bus in a manner consistent with established standards of classroom behavior.

Students are not allowed to change buses for play dates or after school activities with other classmates. Parents must make alternate arrangements for transportation.

VISITORS

The security of our children is of the utmost importance. During school hours, all visitors, including parents, must be buzzed into the building and must report directly to the main office upon entering the building. All visitors must sign in at the office and receive a visitor’s pass, which serves to alert the staff and students that they are an approved visitor to the school.

A visitor may never deviate from their destination to visit the classrooms or cafeteria. If a visitor does deviate from their reported destination without notifying the front office, they will be asked to leave the building.

As a courtesy, visiting parents are asked to refrain from conversations with teachers moving through the hallways with their class.

Students are not permitted to have visitors during the school day.
