Student Handbook 2017-2018

Section 4: Lockers/Parking/Searches

LOCKERS Lockers are assigned to individual students, but lockers remain the property of the school division. Students damaging lockers will receive disciplinary action and will be required to pay for damages. Nothing can be on the outside of lockers. Routine locker inspections may be performed in order to ensure proper maintenance. Locks can be rented for $1.00 upon student request. Only school-supplied locks are permitted. Students will be charged if the locks are not returned at the end of the school year. Each student has the responsibility to secure his/her locker and to not provide the combination to any other students. Students are expected to clean out their locker at the end of the year. GCHS is not responsible for any lost or stolen property. STUDENT VALUABLES Students are advised not to keep money or valuables in lockers. Locks are available for $1.00 in the assistant principal’s office. Grayson County High School is not responsible for lost or stolen money or valuables although every possible effort will be made to recover the property. PARKING Due to limited parking on school grounds, only seniors will be eligible to apply for a parking permit. Within the first week of school, seniors will receive an application for a parking space. From these applications, seniors will be allowed to purchase parking spaces on a first-come first-served basis. Students may not transfer parking permits to each other. Students transferring parking permits will lose their on-campus parking privileges. Any student parking in the parking lot without an assigned space or without prior approval from administration will be subject to having their vehicle towed at owner’s expense. Driving Regulations: • Students are not to return to their vehicles during the school day for any reason unless they obtain a note from an administrator. • Students will not be allowed to park behind the school/CATE center or any other part of campus that is not designated as student parking. • The driver is responsible for all material in the vehicle and for the behavior and actions of all students in his/her vehicle while on school property. • The driver must yield the right of way to buses and pedestrians at all times. • The driver must abide by all VA motor vehicle laws. • Car drivers and car riders will be allowed to leave on second bell only. Violation of these regulations or any driving considered unsafe by the administration could result in suspension or permanent banning of driving and parking privileges on school grounds. SENIOR PRIVILEGES Seniors at Grayson County High School are given privileges as a sign of respect. They provide an opportunity for seniors to display maturity, leadership, and school pride to underclassmen. Failure to do so will result in the loss of these privileges.
