Responsibility
 Part of being a middle school student is to
take more responsibility. We DO NOT accept
deliveries of any kind for students. This includes
lunch, homework, PE clothes, money, balloons,
etc.
 Provide a quiet place for your child to
complete homework. There is homework
nightly. We will be sharing our Homework plan
soon.
Parent partnership/involvement
 Be involved! It’s what makes Price such a super
school for everyone! The more you give the more
you get out of the experience as a parent.
 If you are interested in helping out in the
classroom, please contact your student’s teacher
directly. Help is also needed in the office, for yard
duty and during school events.
 We have a very active Home & School club,
School Site Council and English Language Advisory
Council. (See communications for dates.)
STUDENTS
Communication
 Let your teachers know if you do not
understand the assignment or lesson, have
further questions, or if you need to see them
after school. Many teachers work with
students regularly before or after school.
 Homework is posted online via teacher
websites, or on PowerSchool. Students should
write their homework assignments in the
agenda, which must be carried daily.
Responsibility
 Follow all Price rules – see Student Handbook.
 Cell phones are not allowed to be used (includes texting)
or powered on while on campus. The phone may not be on
your person and must be off and placed in your backpack
during the school day. There is an automatic confiscation of
the phone and Saturday School for violations. (Some teachers
may allow use for educational purposes and field trips.)
 Be organized. Handbooks must be carried daily. Use it to
keep track of homework/projects, activities, special bell
schedule, etc.
 P.E. uniforms must be worn during class-will be available
for purchase during the first two weeks of school. Students
usually dress out the 2nd week of school.
