12. Students, as you get your lockers set up for the new year, please refrain from attaching any decorations to the outside of the locker; only items added by school-sponsored clubs and teams will be allowed on the outside of the lockers. Please save any school-appropriate decorations of your own for the inside of your locker. All decorations on the inside must be easily removable in a way that does not damage the painted surfaces inside (no stickers, duct tape, or other adhesive items that are difficult to remove and can damage the inside surfaces of the locker).
13. Playground Procedures:
Students may use the concrete bench-type seating area on the playground as a place to sit and talk during recess and morning arrival; this is not a place, however for physical activity (running, jumping from one bench level to another, etc.)
All concrete sidewalks and steps are to be kept clear so that they may be used as walkways. This includes the sidewalk in front of the elementary school. All recess and arrival activities on the blacktop must stay inside the painted white line that runs alongside the elementary sidewalk, the painted yellow line that runs alongside the new Activity Area and the painted white lines that run across the blacktop in front of the Old Gym and near the Auditorium.
13.1
All Middle School students must follow the following expectations for the Activity Area on the playground.
- Only students using the equipment or waiting their turn are to be in the area.
- Use the equipment for their intended purposes and safely.
- Treat the equipment to last.
- Keep the length of your turns on the equipment reasonable so that others waiting can have chances to use it, too.
Teetherball:
- Only 2 students may play at a time
- Players are not allowed to catch (or hold) the ball and throw it (only striking, or hitting, the ball is allowed)
- Students waiting for a turn to play are to line up on the concrete octagons.
- The volleyball area is open for use during recesses only. (it is closed during arrival time)
- Only students playing volleyball are to be in the area.
- Volleyball is to be played with volleyballs only and with proper volleyball hits only (i.e. serves, bumps, sets, spikes)
- Students are to stay off the net
15. Students who do not know their PIN numbers when they reach the keypad at lunch will be routed to the back of the line during the first week, not as a punishment but as a means of expediting the line. During the second week, they will be seated at a table with pencil and paper to practice writing their PINs until the line is empty.
16. 8th grade students: if you have immunization records please get those to the office ASAP!
17. After the conclusion of first quarter, there will be a reward activity for all students who are present at least 95% of the time during first quarter.
