GUIDANCE School counselors will assist students with problems related to academic guidance, behavioral counseling, peer relationship problems and grade checks. Our counselors will help students plan class schedules and guide them in the selection of courses. Students may schedule appointments with a counselor or social worker before school, during lunch or after school. Our social workers are available to provide services to students to enhance their emotional well-being and improve their academic performance. HALL PASSES Students are required to have an active digital pass if they are outside of the classroom. Hall passes are limited to 3 per day, and all students may use the restroom during their assigned lunch shift. Students may not go out of area while on a hall pass. HALLWAY RULES Students are expected to behave in an orderly manner while in the hallway. Students who do not follow the rules will be subject to disciplinary action. We ask that the following rules be followed: 1. No pushing, shoving, running, playing, hitting or harmful touching. 2. Use conversational voices only. No loud voices or shouting. 3. Do not block the halls--no standing, stopping, or loitering. 4. Stay to the right of the hall for easy passing. 5. Move directly to class. 6. Students who fail to give their name to the questioning adult will face disciplinary action. 7. All students are to follow the 10/10 rule. No students in the hallway during the first and last 10 minutes of class. 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
