Act with COMMITMENT Come to school every day! If you are sick… School begins at 8:20, be here BEFORE school starts. 6th Grade – reports to Theatre 7th Grade – reports to Gym 8th Grade – reports to Cafeteria School ends at 3:25, once you leave campus you are not allowed to return. Nimitz is a “Closed Campus” which means that students may not leave campus once they arrive until the school day ends. If you are sick… Have a parent call the school attendance office. When you return, bring a note from home or the doctor to the attendance office. Any medication must be brought to the nurse in a pharmacy labeled container by an adult. Get with your teacher to make up missed work. The law states that students must be present 90% of the school year.

Act with COMMITMENT Be ON TIME to school and class everytime! Teachers will start class when the bell rings. No student will be allowed to leave the first and last 10 minutes of class. Students will sign the “Tardy Log” in class after the bell. Any student in the hall between classes must have a pass. Wear your school ID on your lanyard everyday. Almost every profession requires ID’s to be worn, school is no different. ID’s help identify who should be here on campus. Students need their ID to leave the classroom, check out books, attend school events, eat lunch. Teachers will submit names to the office of students who do not have an ID. If a student is without an ID for 3 days they will be required to purchase a new ID for $5. ID’s will be taken Friday and Monday
