Students Who Drive to School

You must attend this meeting in order to register your vehicle for student parking.

Any student who needs to visit a teacher, make up a test, get help, etc during a study hall period, must obtain a pre-signed pass from that teacher prior to homeroom (7:45-7:57), not prior to the period they would like to come. Students must present this pre-signed pass to the study hall teacher and sign out of study hall. Once students have reached their destination, they must remain there until the end of the period unless the teacher calls the study hall teacher to let them know the student will be returning. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD STUDENTS BE ALLOWED TO LEAVE STUDY HALL WITHOUT A PRE-SIGNED PASS!!!!!!!!!!
