HEALTH SERVICES Students becoming ill during the school day should be seen by the school nurse. A student must have a hallway pass from a teacher to go to the nurse’s office. If there is a necessity to go home, the nurse will inform the parents and the student will be released from school after signing the “out” book in the main office. Students may not use cell phones in the nurse’s suite unless the nurse has requested the student to contact their parents using their phone. Periodically you may need to take medication during the school day. You must have a PHYSICIAN'S MEDICATION ORDER FORM filled out by the doctor prescribing the drug and a copy of this form must be on file with the nurse. This includes all over the counter and prescription medications. Medication must be brought to school by an adult and signed in before it can be administered to the student. If a student brings medications to school, they will be confiscated, and your parent/guardian will be notified. LAPTOPS Each student will receive a school-issued laptop. Students are responsible for the care of the laptop. Families will be financially responsible for any damage caused. Additionally, students will receive discipline consequences for intentional damage to laptops. Laptops are for in-school use only. Laptops will not be going home. Students will pick up their laptop each morning and return it to the assigned laptop cart at the end of the day. Students must follow all guidelines as outlined on the “Wicomico County Public Schools Laptop Loaner Device Agreement” and the “Wicomico County Public Schools Acceptable Use Policy.” LATENESS/TARDINESS Tardiness is in two (2) categories--lateness to class and lateness to school. The time provided between classes, 2 minutes, is the maximum time required for reporting to the next class. You are encouraged to report to class in less time, be seated and wait for class to begin. If you are late to class, the teacher will handle your lateness according to county policy as indicated in the Wicomico County Code of Conduct. If you are late for school, you are to report to the main office or designated place and receive a GENERAL USE SLIP to report to class. The office, in accordance with the Wicomico County Code of Conduct, will handle this lateness. LOST AND FOUND The lost and found is in the main hallway, outside of the social workers’ office. Students missing an item should periodically check the lost and found. Lost and found will be cleaned out once per marking period. MEDIA CENTER Books may be signed out from the Media Center for a designated period. If the books are not returned on or before the date they are due, you will be fined each day beyond the due date. When the overdue book is returned, the fine no longer accumulates. If a book is lost, you will be charged the replacement cost of the book. Also, a fee will be charged for any damage to library books. The cost of books is very expensive, so great care should be exercised in handling the books. No book is to be taken out of the media center until media personnel have properly checked it out. Violation or abuse of media center procedures will result in the loss of media privileges.
