General Information/Policies
Students who walk, ride a bicycle, or skate to school will be dismissed with pick-up students prior to the dismissal of busses. Students who ride bicycles to school are to practice good safety habits at all times. Helmets should be worn. Bicycles are to be walked to and from the bicycle rack area and off school grounds. Violation of this rule may result in the loss of the privilege of bringing a bicycle to school. The school is not responsible for the damage or theft of bicycles.
Students are not permitted to use in-line skates (i.e. “rollerblades, skateboards, roller-shoes & scooters”) on school property. Students who choose to use these items for transportation to school must remove and carry them before entering the school driveway, parking lot or sidewalks. These items should be placed in backpacks during the school day.
Parents who have moved and whose children remain in the same school are required to send a change of address and phone number to us as soon as the move is completed. Changes can also be made through the Infinite Campus parent portal.
Objects that might be considered dangerous are not allowed in school. Toys such as squirt guns, fireworks, rubber bands, cap guns, knives, etc., are not allowed at school. These items will be confiscated. Weapons and look-a-like weapons are not allowed on school grounds. (See D.C. Everest School District Board Policy 5772)
The school does not have an official dress code. We rely on parents to see that their children are properly dressed for school. Clothing should be in good taste and of such a nature as to not disrupt the educational process. Garments that publicize tobacco use, alcohol or drugs, shirts with spaghetti straps or exposed midriff tops, strapless shirts, short shorts or low-cut waist pants/shorts, etc., are not acceptable.
According to the D.C. Everest District’s School Board Policy 5530 – Drug Prevention, all schools are to be free of drug and alcohol abuse. Students are not allowed to bring, have in their possession, or use drugs or alcohol on school grounds, on transportation provided by the district, or at school-sponsored functions.
