DISCIPLINE In order for quality instruction to take place in a safe environment, students must be respectful of one another and of adults at all times. It is expected that students follow the schoolwide expectations of being respectful, responsible, safe, and scholarly in all areas of the school including on the bus and at school sponsored events. Cell Phone and Social media interactions that prove to be disruptive to the learning environment will be considered a discipline issue at the school level even if the offense occurred outside of school hours. DRESS CODE See the Dress Code in the Wicomico County Code of Conduct. Students violating the dress code will be asked to change or parent will be notified to bring a change of clothing. HEALTH SERVICES All students who become ill or injured during the school day should report to the school nurse or report to the office. Students are required to report to their class in order to obtain a pass from the teacher. Students will not be seen without a pass. ONLY THE NURSE may determine if the student should go home. If a student is ill enough to be sent home, the nurse will call the parent/guardian to inform him/her of the student’s condition. A student calling/texting requesting to be picked up early does not qualify as an excused dismissal. Upon leaving, the student must be signed out in the office. It may be necessary at times for a student to take medication during the school day. The student must have a PHYSICIAN’S MEDICATION ORDER FORM filled out by the doctor prescribing the drug and a copy of this form must be on file with the nurse.
