administered to the student. If a student brings medications to school, they will be confiscated, and your parent/guardian will be notified. LAPTOPS Each student will receive a school-issued laptop. Students are responsible for the care of the laptop. Families will be financially responsible for any damage caused. Additionally, students will receive discipline consequences for intentional damage to laptops. Laptops are for in-school use only. Laptops will not be going home. Students will pick up their laptop each morning and return it to the assigned laptop cart at the end of the day. Students must follow all guidelines as outlined on the “Wicomico County Public Schools Laptop Loaner Device Agreement” and the “Wicomico County Public Schools Acceptable Use Policy.” LATENESS/TARDINESS Tardiness is in two (2) categories--lateness to class and lateness to school. The time provided between classes, 2 minutes, is the maximum time required for reporting to the next class. You are encouraged to report to class in less time, be seated and wait for class to begin. If you are late to class, the teacher will handle your lateness according to county policy as indicated in the Wicomico County Code of Conduct. If you are late for school, you are to report to the main office or designated place and receive a GENERAL USE SLIP to report to class. The office, in accordance with the Wicomico County Code of Conduct, will handle this lateness. LOST AND FOUND The lost and found is in the main hallway, outside of the social workers’ office. Students missing an item should periodically check the lost and found. Lost and found will be cleaned out several times a year. Anything not picked up will be donated to a local charity. MEDIA CENTER Books may be signed out from the Media Center for a period of time. If the books are not returned on or before the date they are due, you will be fined each day beyond the due date. When the overdue book is returned, the fine no longer accumulates. If a book is lost, you will be charged the replacement cost of the book. Also, a fee will be charged for any damage to library books. The cost of books is very expensive, so great care should be exercised in handling the books. No book is to be taken out of the media center until media personnel have properly checked it out. Violation or abuse of media center procedures will result in the loss of media privileges. SCHOOL FUNCTIONS (Intramural sports, school clubs, school dances, etc.) All students must have a 2.0 GPA to attend or participate in these activities. Students must also be in good standing with attendance and conduct. Students who have 1-4 days of Out of School Suspension may not attend an after-school event for 10 school days, including suspension days. Once a student has 5 or more days of Out of School suspension, the student may not attend after-school activities for 45 school days. (This does not include band, chorus, or tutoring) Students participating in after-school activities (i.e. band, chorus, intramurals, detention, clubs, dances, tutoring, etc.) should be picked up within 15 minutes of the conclusion of the activity. Failure to abide by this policy may result in disciplinary consequences and will result in the loss of participation in further extracurricular events.
