STUDENT SECTION

ATTENTION STUDENTS: Here are some general reminders about campus conduct:

If you would like to continue to celebrate each others’ birthdays, you must do so without creating a mess, throwing food, etc. If we have problems with people ignoring this simple standard of civilized behavior, we will have to prohibit these celebrations.

Also, remember that public displays of affection are not appropriate anywhere on campus. Those who violate this common sense policy are subject to discipline.

Remember that your personal electronics must be silenced and stored so that they cannot be used while you’re in a classroom. We have an increased number of cell phones and iPods confiscated by teachers. And, we have an increase in the number of students refusing to give these items to teachers when requested to do so. Students who fail to abide by rules and/or argue with teachers about rules are subject to Saturday School and suspension.

Finally, GET TO CLASS ON TIME. Seniors, you’re running out of time to clear Saturday Schools. Take care of your existing Saturday Schools, and don’t make bad decisions which might cause assignment of additional Saturday Schools or jeopardize your participation in senior activities and graduation.

Remember, Lancers, keep the focus on academics and be respectful members of our Hilltop High School community.
