TELEPHONE USAGE: 
Students are generally not allowed to call home for things they have forgotten. Exceptions are made for medical needs, but other 
reasons are seldom found to justify phone usage.
FUNDRAISERS: 
At various times during the school year, students are asked to participate in school-related fund raising activities. These activities can 
be associated with, but not limited to, PTO projects, student council projects, and the band program. Students selling items at school 
must do so outside of class time. Food items sold are to be kept stored until the student is home. The student selling the items is 
responsible for the items and the money collected. The school assumes no responsibility in the loss or theft of such items. Individual 
students are not permitted to sell items at school for personal profit. 
RECESS 
RULES: 
Recess is available for students who demonstrate good behavior and academic effort. Students who are having behavior problems 
and are not fulfilling assignments will spend recess in detention until the time behavior and/or attitude has changed. Students should 
remember that recess is earned, not demanded. Some general rules regarding recess include: 1. A parental request for a child to 
remain inside during an outside recess should be written and sent to the child’s teacher each day the student is to remain inside. 2. 
Students are to be considerate of their classmates and adults. Students are not to interfere with other student’s games. Pushing, 
shoving, scuffling and other similar behaviors are not acceptable. 3.. When the whistle is blown once, students will stop what they are 
doing, stop all talking and walk to their place in line, preparing to return to their rooms. 4. Students are expected to share the equipment 
and display good sportsmanship at all times. In general, any game or manner of play that is considered dangerous or unsportsman-
like will not be tolerated. 5. At no time are balls to be thrown against the building. 6. Tumbling and other gymnastic stunts are not 
permitted. 
INDOOR RECESS: 
(Grades K-6) When the weather does not permit play outside, recess will be held in the gym. Due to the large number of students in a 
relative small area, some restrictions are necessary. The classroom teachers for respective grade levels have developed these re-
strictions. The rules are discussed with the students and are posted in the classrooms. The rules will be used at all recesses. Dodge 
Ball may not be played during indoor recess.
