Dress Code 2020-2021

 If the principal determines that a student’s grooming or clothing violates the school’s dress code, the student will be given an opportunity to correct the problem at school. If not corrected, the student may be assigned to in-school suspension for the remainder of the day, until the problem is corrected, or until a parent or designee brings an acceptable change of clothing to the school. Repeated offenses may result in more serious disciplinary action in accordance with the Student Code of Conduct. The high school administrators make the final judgment regarding dress code violations. 

Electronic Devices Policy 

For safety purposes, the district permits students to possess personal mobile telephones; however, these devices must remain turned off during the instructional day, including during all testing, unless they are being used for approved instructional purposes. A student must have approval to possess other telecommunications devices such as netbooks, laptops, tablets, or other portable computers.

The use of mobile telephones or any device capable of capturing images is strictly prohibited in locker rooms or restroom areas while at school or at a school-related or school-sponsored event. 

If a student uses a telecommunications device without authorization during the school day, the device will be confiscated.  Upon the first offense, the student may retrieve the confiscated telecommunications device from the principal’s office for a fee of $10. Subsequent offenses will require that the confiscated telecommunications device be retrieved by a parent at the principal’s office for a fee of $10.

Confiscated telecommunications devices that are not retrieved by the student or the student’s parents will be disposed of after the notice required by law.

In limited circumstances and in accordance with law, a student’s personal telecommunications device may be searched by authorized personnel.

Any disciplinary action will be in accordance with the Student Code of Conduct. The district is not responsible for damaged, lost, or stolen telecommunications devices.

Prohibited Substance Policy 

This policy is in place to discipline students who, on campus or in attendance at a school sponsored or related activity, use, possess, sell, or distribute prohibited substances or devices that do not fall under other mandatory Texas Education Code directives.

These substances or devices include, but are not limited to, tobacco, nicotine, vapes, juuls, e-cigarettes or any device that can deliver a prohibited substance.
