Your Expectations

School- wide Procedures What do when I arrive at school? How will I know when a staff member needs my attention? What do I do during school dismissal? What do I do when I need to take a focus? How do I request to see a principal or counselor? What do I do if I want to stay after school for an activity? What do I do during an emergency? – Severe weather – Fire – Lock down

School Arrival Enter the front door immediately after getting off the bus or out of your car. If you arrive early, wait in the lobby until the cafeteria opens. If you are getting a school breakfast, enter the cafeteria through door A. If you are not getting a school breakfast, enter the cafeteria through door B.

Morning Cafeteria If purchasing a meal, enter through door A and stay in line. Students that cut line must go to the end of the line. No exceptions. If not purchasing a meal, enter through doors B/C and get a table/seat. As you go through the line, follow directions of Ms. York and enter lunch #. After eating, throw away your trash and clean your area. Students are to sign up for afterschool events while in the cafeteria. Students will see administrators and counselors during this time to request conference time with them for that day.
