A Few Simple Rules

Electronics No Phones! From the time you enter school grounds until you leave school grounds. Phones must be turned off and stored.

No Music! From the time you enter the school grounds until you leave school grounds. ANYTHING that plays music must be turned off and stored all day.

No Earphones of Any Kind Big ones, little ones, medium ones…. NONE. Not in your ears. Not around your neck. Not to be seen. * IF a teacher allows you to listen to music in their class or X Block, you may do so ONLY in that classroom or X Block.

No Computer Games At School At all. Ever. Not on your personal laptop. Not on HTLA’s laptop. Not anywhere. Ever.

No Proxy Servers

Language! We do NOT bully here. We do NOT use the “N” word. We do not make homophobic remarks. We do not make bigoted statements about racial, ethnic, religious groups. We do not talk in a way that we would not talk in front of our grandmother.
