Do not write on walls, desks, lockers, yourselves, or others.
Do not litter inside or outside of the building.
If you see litter in the hallway or on the sidewalk, pick it up and
throw it away.
Cover your textbooks.
If you are absent from school, you must provide an excuse
signed by a parent explaining why you were not in school.
This should be delivered to your homeroom teacher the
day you return to school.
When you miss class due to an absence, it is your
responsibility to determine what you missed so that you can
make-up any necessary work. Check your teachers’ websites
or visit them before or during homeroom the next day.
If you are going to miss class due to an activity or athletic
obligation, visit your teacher before or during homeroom to
notify him/her and to obtain the work you will miss.
Notes from parents informing the school of an early dismissal
request must be delivered to the office BEFORE homeroom!
You will be given a pass to use at the time of your dismissal.
If you are being dismissed for a doctor’s appointment, you
must have the doctor sign the slip. Be sure to return it to the
office if you return the same day, or your homeroom teacher
the next morning.

Utilize and maintain an organized locker!
• Cougar teachers will check lockers to assist with organization
on a weekly basis.
• You are encouraged to visit your locker between classes in
order to lighten the load of materials you are carrying around
the halls.
• The locker belongs to the school, so school officials have the
right to search it at any time.
Begins at 7:30!
All students are to stand for the Moment of Silence and the
Pledge.
All students are to be silent during the morning announcements.
All students are to stay seated unless given permission by the
homeroom teacher to be otherwise.
If leaving homeroom, alert your homeroom teacher and record
your first/last names and destination on the board so you are not
erroneously marked absent.
Tuesday is Connections, and Friday is DEAR (Drop Everything
and Read). On these days, you cannot leave homeroom for any
reason. Also, the expectation is that you will arrive on Friday with
something to read.
Homework Policy: Homework received on the due date will get
full credit. Homework received one day late will get half credit.
Homework received more than one day late will get no credit.
Individual teachers on the Cougars reserve the right to fluctuate
from this policy.
Homework in Homeroom: In our opinion, completing
homework in homeroom is a bad academic habit; it encourages
both procrastination and cheating among our students. We
discourage students from completing homework here in the
morning. However, if a student needs help on a particular
assignment, they should make a serious effort to complete it and
see the teacher during homeroom.
BYOT can be used for educational purposes and with
teacher permission only during class time.
• The use of social media is strictly prohibited for
non-educational use.
• For Internet connectivity, students must register
and connect their personal devices to the BYOT
network.
• Participation in BYOT is a privilege which can be
revoked.
• Technology devices are not to be used as video
recorders or cameras unless instructed
otherwise.
Backpacks: We encourage all of you to leave your backpacks
in your lockers. You should visit your locker to obtain what
you need for each class.
Novels: You should have a novel with you at ALL times!
Loitering: Students must move to class instead of hanging
out in the hallways.
Cougar Passes: You have 10 for the entire nine weeks, so be
selective as to when you exercise your opportunities to be
briefly excused from class. If passes remain, you will receive
bonus points.
Class Dismissal: Students are to remain seated until they are
dismissed by the teacher.
