Please explain to your students that they are ONLY permitted to remain after school if: A. they are with a staff member; B. they are in the Library; C. they are in the assigned tutoring rooms; D. they are in the weight room or an intramural program. Students are not permitted to walk around the school building unless they are with a supervisor. If you see any students, especially groups, ask them to report to their activity. If they are not participating in any activity, then they should report to Library or leave the building. Our campus police and hall supervisors will be helping us to clear the halls after school. 1. All outside doors will be locked at 8:00 A.M. from the outside except the Main Entrance. 2. The back security gate near the weight room will be closed at 3:00 P.M., and the roll down gate at communications will be secured at 3:30 P.M. Everyone must use the C Wing intersection hall by Cafeteria II. 3. At the end of the day (by 3:00 P.M.), everyone is responsible for closing the windows and locking the doors to their rooms, especially areas where they store equipment and materials, unless you are still working in the room. If you have any questions about security, see Bernie O’Connor to discuss. DO NOT GIVE KEYS TO STUDENTS!! If you see equipment not locked, please lock up or call for assistance. Our police, security and maintenance staff have been instructed to report any areas unlocked or equipment left unsecured. Any coaches, advisors, etc, must submit names of unpaid volunteers to Dr. O=Breza so that the Board of Education approval can be sought. Please do this as soon as possible. If anyone wishes to place an item in the Weekly Bulletin, be sure to submit a memo or an email to Marilyn DiCiurcio (Activities Office) no later than Thursday of each week. A. Each homeroom teacher will be provided with a list of locker assignments for their students. B. Additional assignments will be made by Ed Hall or Bob Mentaa (Adult Supervisors in the Security Office – room C109) for new students or those without lockers. This is not to be done during class time. C. Students are not permitted to exchange locker assignments. D. Any malfunction of lockers is to be reported to one of the Adult Supervisors in room C109. Any problem with lockers should be taken care of during the first week of school. E. Homeroom teachers are to point out that only the one person assigned to a locker may use that locker. (This is for the student’s security.) Students are not to use lockers that have not been issued to them. Any hanging lock found on a locker will be removed. F. All students will be assigned hall lockers with combination locks and will be informed of the combination by the homeroom teacher by calling the student to the desk and giving the numbers as confidentially as possible. G. Remind students that stickers, posters, etc. are not to be attached to lockers. Students will be assessed fines for damage to their lockers. Back to School Night is being held on Wednesday, October 13th. Detention will not be held and we ask that you do not schedule any after school help, meetings, or activities on this day. Thank you for your cooperation. A list of students who have medical health issues and concerns, which can affect a student’s learning and attendance, has been prepared and can be viewed in the Nurses Office. Liability and privacy prohibits mass distribution of this list. If you, at any time, have any concerns about a student, please feel free to contact the nurses. (Terry McLaughlin @ extension 2525 and Cheryl Osnayo @ extension 2524). To help provide the best copying service to you, please read the following: Thank you for your cooperation. The AV Office will be open at 7:00 A.M. each morning for early morning runs. Early morning runs are NOT intended to replace your regular requests. Please plan in advance for your classroom needs. Requests must be received by 7:30 A.M. and have the following restrictions: 1. are on a first-come-first-serve basis. 2. are not to exceed two pages in length. 3. must not require darkening, paste-ups, or special attention 4. are not guaranteed to be completed by 8:00 A.M. if there is a queue of requests waiting ahead of your request. 5. are limited to a maximum of two request per person 6. are limited to additional copies of materials and EMERGENCY RUNS ONLY. Note: It is unreasonable to expect 1,000 copies of something to be printed during the early morning run. Louise Head has been directed to enforce these restrictions, to limit the number of copies run, and to direct staff to Bob Hulme if there are questions. Have a wonderful and fulfilling year! The Character Education Word of the Week is Optimism. |
