Cell Phones and Any Other Communication Devices: Students may bring cell phones to school. They will be allowed during mornings in the gym from 7:30 until students are dismissed to go to first hour. This will be the ONLY non-academic time during which students may use cell phones.
Cell phone usage is not allowed during nonacademic times such as during lunch, during passing times, in hallways, etc. From 8:00 a.m.-3:10 p.m., cell phone usage in classes will be at the discretion of individual teachers. IF a teacher allows cell phones to be out and used during a class, students are to use them FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY. Students are NOT to take pictures or record videos at school, and they not to communicate with other students electronically. Failure to use cell phones for educational purposes may result in the student being asked to put the cell phone away. If a student is asked by a staff member to put a cell phone away but does not comply, the student is subject to team and/or office disciplinary action.
Media Center: The media center provides reading and reference materials for students and staff. The media center specialist is available for assistance in locating and selecting materials and for providing instruction in use of the media center. Students are encouraged to ask for assistance when needed. Students and staff are also encouraged to recommend materials for purchase for the media center.
The media center is to be used by students for specific purposes related to study, research, curriculum, and for leisure reading. The atmosphere maintained must be a quiet place for students to pursue these activities. Talking, unnecessary distractions, horseplay, socializing, and eating food are prohibited in the media center.
General rules for media center use: 1. All materials will be checked out for two (2) weeks except for reference materials. 2. Students who have materials overdue from the media center will be restricted from checking out additional materials until the overdue items are returned. 3. Students will be held responsible for all materials checked out in their name even if those materials are loaned to friends or are lost or stolen. Students will be required to pay for all materials not returned to the media center. Grade cards and/or transcripts will be held until materials are paid for.
Home Work Guidelines: Any time a student is to be gone for a school activity (band, sports, etc.), it is the student’s responsibility to check in advance and have work ready to hand in before he/she leaves for such activity. He/she must also get future assignments so he/she will be ready to carry on in class as usual upon his return. Failure to do so will result in the student not being able to attend the next activity. In the cases of In School Suspension and Out of School Suspension and long term suspension, homework and make up work may be required on return to school at the discretion of administration. Homework assignments can be monitored in the SIS System through Parent Portal.
Hall Procedures: Halls are designed to provide access to and from various areas of the building. Students are expected to stay to the right while going to and from their classes. Congregating and /or aimless wandering in the halls, library, and other areas will not be permitted. No student is to be in the halls during the regular periods without a hall pass. Students found in the halls during class time will be viewed as out of their assigned area and may be subject to disciplinary action.
Food Services: Southern Boone County R-1 Schools uses an automated system called SIS Lunch Module for breakfast/lunch accounting records. With this system, students are issued an account card with their personal account number. The number is contained in a magnetic bar code, which is read by a scanning machine. The same card is used to purchase breakfast and lunch.
Breakfast/lunch accounting procedures will be revised and distributed to all students at the beginning of each school year. If changes are made during the school year, all students and parents will be notified.
Southern Boone County Schools will offer food substitutions to students that have life threatening or debilitating food allergies as documented by a licensed physician. Provide the school nurse with allergy information on the required form.
The food service provided for students in the Southern Boone County R-1 School District is an important part of the total educational program. A balanced lunch is available to every pupil at a minimal price. A la carte choices are provided for middle and high school students. These options can increase the cost of student lunch considerably. Parents are encouraged to monitor student lunch accounts through parent portal. Free or reduced price meals shall be granted in accordance with federal free lunch guidelines and school board policy. Applications for free/reduced meals will be answered in writing for each student approved or rejected.
Breakfast: $1.25
