School lockers are the property of the district.  At no time does the district relinquish its exclusive control of lockers provided for the convenience of students.  Periodic general inspections of lockers may be conducted by school authorities for any reason at any time, without notice, without student consent, and without a search warrant. 

Students should not share lockers unless assigned to do so by administration.  When sharing lockers, students need to be flexible and work with their locker mate.

Book Deposits

Books and equipment are being provided free.  However, in order to ensure responsibility concerning school property, a book deposit is required from every student.  This fee of $50.00 is payable at the high school office and is expected upon the student’s entry to the building.  A family is expected to pay $50.00 for the first high school student, and $25.00 per each additional high school student.  The deposit will be refunded after graduation, and in reverse order if more than one deposit is held.

Any damage or loss of textbooks, workbooks, library books, or school equipment will be deducted from the deposit.  Statements will be issued at the close of each school year for any loss or damage.  Reimbursement is expected prior to the start of the following year.  If the deposit is not maintained at the $50.00 level; books, lockers, parking permits, and athletic equipment will not be issued.

The deposit will be returned to the parents, by check, at the end of the Senior year or at such time as the student leaves the school.

Driving to School

All students with a valid Michigan driver’s license will be allowed to drive to and from school provided they follow the established rules and guidelines developed cooperatively by students, professional staff, and administration:

1.               Students who wish to drive automobiles or other motor vehicles are required to park in school designated, off-street parking areas.  Students are not permitted to park in the teachers’ parking

area or behind the school.  All vehicles driven to school must be registered in the office.  Vehicles without a registration tag will be stickered.  Further offenses may result in loss of the driving privilege.

   2.          Loitering in or near cars before, during, and after school hours is not permitted.

   3.          Unauthorized students may not enter the parking lot area during the school day unless permission is obtained in the office.  Authorized students include:  Approved Career Center students, dual enrollment students, and abbreviated day students.

   4.          Students are not to leave the school grounds for lunch.

   5.          All vehicles are to be locked.  Students should not loan their vehicles to any other students.  Each student driver is responsible for the vehicle remaining at school.

   6.          While on school grounds, all driving will be in a safe and prudent manner.  Students should not      
                 deliberately squeal their tires.

   7.          Due to safety concerns, students may not drive other students at any time during the school day,

unless given permission by administration.   

8.               Students are not permitted to leave the school grounds at any time during the school day without a permit from the school office.  If a student must leave the building with parent permission, or due to illness, or any emergency, the student must sign out at the office prior to leaving.  Failure to follow the proper procedure will be considered an unexcused absence, skip, and a violation of driving rules.

9.               A  device (car boot) may be attached to any illegally or inappropriately parked vehicle.  A charge may be assessed to have this “car boot” removed.
