Fruitland Primary Student Handbook 2026-27

12 GUIDANCE AND SOCIAL WORK SERVICES Fruitland Primary School counseling staff provide individual counseling, group counseling and class lessons. The counseling staff will assist students with problems related to academic guidance, behavioral counseling, peer relationship problems, etc. Students can refer themselves or they can be referred by parents, teachers, or administrators. LOST AND FOUND Lost items are displayed on the wall near the cafeteria daily, except for jewelry, watches, eyeglasses and other items that are too small to hang. These small items are kept in the school office. At the end of each marking term, clothing that is not claimed will be donated to a charity. Please remind your child to look in the lost and found for his/her belongings when they are missing. Labeling personal items with a student name assists us in helping to reunite your child with their misplaced items. CODE OF CONDUCT The Wicomico County Public School system uses the Code of Conduct, a policy for handling inappropriate and unacceptable behavior in school, on school bus and at school-sponsored activities, which can be found on the county website at https://www.wicomicoschools.org/page/code-of-conduct. It is the guide of consequences used when inappropriate behaviors occur. We ask parents to support this Code, thus increasing its effectiveness at school, on the school bus and during school-sponsored activities. The code will be used routinely by the administrators when assigning consequences for unacceptable behavior.
