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 procedures will result in the loss of media privileges. AFTER SCHOOL ACTIVITIES (Intramural sports, school clubs, school dances, etc.) All students must have a 2.0 GPA to attend or participate in these activities. Students must also be in good standing with attendance and conduct. Students who have 1-4 days of Out of School Suspension may not attend an after-school event for 10 school days, including suspension days. Once a student has 5 or more days of out of school suspension, the student may not attend after-school activities for 45 school days. Students participating in after-school activities (i.e. band, chorus, intramurals, detention, clubs, dances, tutoring, etc.) must be picked up within 15 minutes of the conclusion of the activity. Failure to abide by this policy will result in the loss of participation in further extracurricular events. MIDDLE SCHOOL DANCE CRITERIA The following criteria apply to all middle school students attending school dances: 1. GPA o Students must have a minimum GPA of 2.0, as required by county policy. 2. Conduct o Students must not have served any Out-of-School Suspensions (OSS) during the current semester. o Any student excluded based on cumulative OSS days per county policy will not be eligible to attend. 3. Attendance o Students may have no more than 2 unexcused absences 45 days prior to the date of the dance.
